SUMMARY OF CHANGES (REV)

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

INDUSTRY QUESTIONS

QUESTION 1:

The Binder solution that is specified ( MIL-STD-708) has been cancelled and is no longer used. The chemicals are listed in the HCSDS however the percentages for mixing are not given in Dwg. 6136001. Is there a procedure for mixing or a suitable binder system to use for this project?

ANSWER:

Although MIL-STD-708 is cancelled, a replacement was not provided, and therefore, we are forced to still utilize it.

Laminac 4116 can be made into Laminac 4110 and the weight distribution of MIL-STD-708 still applies.

QUESTION 2:

A Hobart mixer is specified as the type used for mixing the red flare composition. Hobart no longer offers a model that is explosion proof that is suitable when using flammable solvents and pyrotechnic compounds. Is a suitable alternate mixer and process acceptable?

ANSWER:

The blending procedure referenced on dwg 6136001 is shown as non-mandatory.

QUESTION 3:

A 4" diameter cowls shear mixing blade is specified. If small batches are made then this size blade may be too large for proper mixing, is there an alternative?

ANSWER:

The blending procedure referenced on dwg 2114096 is shown as non-mandatory.

QUESTION 4:

Some of the chemicals that are used in the ignition composition are very toxic, and some that are used in the flare composition are difficult to work with. Is there an option of using a different formulation for the ignition and red flare compositions?

ANSWER:

Unfortunately, we are bound by these composition formulations because they have been approved for fleet issue.

Alternates or variations would require extensive testing and qualification effort at a significant cost.

QUESTION 5:

Unsure of LOT numbering - can we get clarity on the average LOT size and numbering system?

ANSWER:

The lot size for the MK 80 Signal can range from 3,201 to 10,000. The lot numbering is dictated by MIL-STD-1168 with the exception listed on each ADL that the lot interfix number will always be 001.
