Attachment 0008 DWG 13064136.pdf

This is a technical drawing and packaging verification specification for ammunition wooden packaging material (WPM) treated with wood preservatives for the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey.

The specification covers end-item ammunition wooden packaging materials that are dip-treated with preservatives to protect against tactical and wholesale stockpile storage and distribution conditions. The drawing identifies seven approved preservative formulations (part numbers 13060578-1 through 13060578-7) classified into three types based on fungicide/termiticide performance and corrosiveness levels: Type I (unrestricted use), Type II (wirebound boxes only), and Type III (all applications except wirebound boxes). Active ingredient concentrations are specified by weight percent and must comply with EPA authorization requirements. The specification requires first article and conformance inspections, including testing of preservative formulations, EPA authorization verification, active ingredient concentrations, mold inhibitor additives, homogeneity, pre-treatment and post-treatment moisture content (maximum 19%), coverage uniformity, dryness (minimum 24 hours), corrosion-free hardware, proper marking per TABLE II, clean workmanship, and freedom from visible mold. Verification methods utilize American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) test standards, visual demonstrations, and analysis per MIL-STD-1916 acceptance procedures with specified defect classifications. The document includes detailed technical notes addressing preservative treatment advisory information, spot check indicators, color changes, drying procedures, corrosion prevention, and marking visibility considerations for field implementation.
