QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Question 1) Graphite Requirement on drawing 1638AS116: Trouble locating contact information for these sources. It appears as if Airco may be out of business, and Union Carbide is so big that we are having trouble getting to the correct source. Can you provide any additional information or additional approved sources for the material?

Answer 1) We are aware of the problem and currently working on an approved replacement. Airco appears to be out of business. Union Carbide appears to have sold at least their graphite line to a company called Graftech. At one time Graftech manufactured the ATJ part number graphite just as Union Carbide had. Unfortunately, that type of graphite has been discontinued. The replacement material that has been suggested to us is XTJ15 Super Fine Grain Graphite from Graftech.

Question 2) On drawing no. 1638AS121 it is unclear the exact diameter of find nos. 2 & 3. We believe the OD maybe 1.990 +.010/-.000, which .010 smaller than the Nozzle C'bore ID. Please confirm. Also, on find no. 3 is the ID 1.09"? Please confirm.

Answer 2) Find no 2. OD is 1.980 +.020/-.000, and Find no. 3 is OD 1.09" (smaller disk that gives strength for the grommet). You must take into account the +.010/-.000" was on both sides of the diameter (+.020/-.000").

Question 3) On drawing no. 1506AS106 note 7, references NOS 521-174TD-0001 for the hydrostatic testing. We cannot locate this spec. Please advise where we can obtain a copy. This is required in order for us to obtain an accurate testing price.

Answer 3) See uploaded PDF in attachments (NOS 521-174TD-0001A)

Question 4) On drawing no. 1506AS106 note 10, paint system 59 is referenced (which is a lacquer system), however according to our painting source this system has been canceled and not replaced, and due to environmental constraints this is not allowed for use in Connecticut. What system should be used?

Answer 4) MIL-STD-1303C says that system 59 paint has been discontinued, and that system 7 paint should be used in its place. System 7 paint is MIL-PRF-24635, which is still available. In MIL-STD- 1303, system 7 specifically refers to flat black paint, whereas we are still looking for 37886 White. After a quick internet search you will find that the MIL-PRF-24635 is still available in the specified white color.

N00174-15-R-0010

Question 5) Assembly 1638AS121 - Nozzle Assembly, Nozzle - Does the government have a casting / forging drawing Find # 6 - 1638AS116 - Does the government have any approved sources other than the two identified on the print?

- cc: 97469 - Airco Carbon went out of business in 2002

- cc: 42451 - Union Carbide Carbon Div. appears to have sold to either Dow or GrafTech Can you ask the product engineer for a casting / forging drawing and for any current approved source for 1638AS116?

Answer 5) NSWC IHEODTD does not have any casting or forging drawings for the graphite insert. No other approved sources exist for 1638AS116.
