4.5.4 Pressure test procedure - 0.43-inch diameter hole: One hole shall be cut into a polymer coated fabric material that is a minimum of 1/8 of an inch thick. The type I kit cutting tool (see

3.4.5) shall be used to cut the hole in this material in less than 30 seconds. The hole shall penetrate completely through the coated fabric and have a diameter of 0.43 ± 0.03 inches. Repair the hole with a 7/16-inch mechanical patch and only tools provided with the type I kit. The repair shall be accomplished with access to only one side of the coated fabric. Using water as a test fluid, apply a 3 psi pressure to the coated fabric material side that has the bottom portion of the mechanical patch exposed. Hold the pressure at a minimum of 3 psi for 24 hours. Attempts to retighten the repair will be allowed only during the first hour of the pressure test.

4.5.5 Pressure test procedure - 1-inch diameter hole: One hole shall be cut into a polymer coated fabric material that is a minimum of 1/8 inches thick. The type I kit cutting tool (see 3.4.5) shall be used to cut the hole in this material in less than 30 seconds. The hole shall penetrate completely through the coated fabric and have a diameter of 0.43 ± 0.03 inches. Repair the hole with a 1-inch mechanical patch and only tools provided with the type I kit. The repair shall be accomplished with access to only one side of the coated fabric. Using water as a test fluid, apply a 3 psi pressure to the coated fabric material side that has the bottom portion of the mechanical patch exposed. Hold the pressure at a minimum of 3 psi for 24 hours. Attempts to retighten the repair will be allowed only during the first hour of the pressure test.

4.5.6 Razor/knife. To determine the conformance to 3.5.3, the razor/knife shall be used to cut a total of five 6-inch minimum length cuts in a polyurethane coated nylon fabric material not less than 1/32 of an inch thick. Each cut shall completely separate the coated fabric along the length of the cut. The cut shall not begin or end within 1-inch of the perimeter of the coated fabric. The razor/knife shall not be sharpened or cleaned during the test. All five cuts shall be made in less than

2 minutes. Failure of the razor/knife to make all five cuts as specified shall constitute a failure of this test.

4.5.7 Repair clamps. To determine conformance with 3.5.4 and 3.6.4, each of the repair clamps shall be subjected to 4.5.8. The presence of one or more of the following defects shall constitute failure of this test:

a) The clamp cannot be forced through a hole as specified.

b) A clamp falls through a hole when attempting the repair.

c) Permanent deformation of separation of any part of the clamp observed during or after

d) The clamp leaks at anytime during the pressure test.

4.5.8 Pressure test procedure for repair clamps: One slit 2-1/4 inch long shall be cut into a polyurethane coated nylon fabric material that is a minimum of 1/32 of an inch thick. The slit shall penetrate completely through the coated fabric. Repair the slit with a repair clamp provided from a type II or III repair kit. With a torque wrench, tighten the clamp to no more than 30-inch pounds. (If the repair clamp design uses a wing nut, it may be replaced by a hex nut of identical material during this test.) The repair shall be accomplished with access to only one side of the coated fabric. Using water as a test fluid, apply a 5 psi hydrostatic pressure to the coated fabric material side that has the bottom portion of the repair clamp exposed. Hold the pressure at a minimum of 5 psi for 24 hours.

Attempts to retighten to no more than 30 inch-pounds will be allowed only during the first hour of the pressure test. Repeat this test procedure with a 4-inch slit and a 6-inch slit and the applicable clamps.

5. PACKAGING

5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the contract or order (see 6.2e). When actual packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain requisite packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's packaging activity within the Military Department or Defense Agency, or within the Military

Department's System Command. Packaging data retrieval is available from the managing Military

Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
