3.0. REQUIREMENTS

3.1. GENERAL - Each propeller shall be classified to the National Stock Number (NSN), and the distinguishing characteristics listed in section 3.2. Manufactured propellers shall meet all requirements of this specification.

3.2. DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS - Each propeller is distinguished as detailed in Table 1 of this specification by NSN, Blade Orientation, Boat/Cutter Application, Diameter, Pitch, Rake, Skew, Number of Blades, Rated Rotational Speed (RPM), Nominal Hub Bore, Nominal Hub Length, Mean Width Ratio (MWR), and Developed

Area Ratio (DAR). All propellers shall have an elliptical contour, vertical genetrix, true helical face, and segmental section.

3.2.1 DIAMETER - Diameter is the distance across a circle generated by the most extreme point of the blades. Propeller diameter shall be as listed in table 1.

REVISION - 04/25

3.2.2 PITCH - Pitch is the distance the generating helix forming the pressure face of the propeller advances in one rotation. Pitch, determined by measuring the pressure face of the propeller as specified in 3.8 , shall be as listed in table 1.

3.2.3 BLADE ORIENTATION - Blade orientation shall be determined in accordance with the “right hand rule”: Right hand rotation produces thrust directed along the thumb of the right hand when the propeller is rotated in the direction of the fingertip’s, left hand is the opposite.

3.2.4 DEVELOPED AREA RATIO - Developed area ratio (DAR) is the ratio of the developed blade area (the true area of the pressure face surface of all of the blades) divided by the area of a circle with the same diameter as the propeller. The DAR listed in table 1 is the minimum allowed, if specified.

3.2.5 MEAN WIDTH RATIO - Mean width ratio (MWR) is the ratio of the developed area of one blade divided by the length of the blade outside the hub and the diameter. The MWR listed in table 1 is the minimum allowed, if specified.

3.2.6 SKEW – Skew is determined by running a line approximately radially, connecting the line of maximum thickness, (or midline, for segmental propellers) of each section of a blade. The skew angle is the angle subtended along the circumference of the diameter by the midline from hub to blade tip. Propellers shall have either no skew or approximately 15 degrees of blade skew such that the trailing edge of the propeller is essentially straight within the 70% radius from the hub as listed in table 1.

3.2.7 BLADE THICKNESS - Blade thickness is determined by Blade Thickness

Fraction, (the ratio between the maximum section blade chord and the diameter), or by the actual maximum section thickness at a specified section. Propellers shall have a blade thickness fraction of 0.036 to 0.051.

3.2.8 NOMINAL HUB BORE - Nominal hub bore is the diameter of the bore at the largest point of the taper. Nominal hub bore is listed in table 1.

3.2.9 RATED ROTATIONAL SPEED - Rated rotational speed is specified for determining residual unbalance in accordance with 3.7.

3.2.10 HUB LENGTH AND SPECIAL HUB CHARACTERISTICS – Certain propeller hubs have additional features for fitting sealing glands or other components. These features include but are not limited to tapped holes for screws, bored recesses, specific hub lengths, and other modifications to the hub. Special hub characteristics for a given propeller will be listed in the notes to table 1.

REVISION - 04/25

3.3. MATERIAL

NOTE: Differing materials that may be listed on any of the drawings referenced in section 2.3.1 of this specification are superseded by this requirement. All propellers shall be cast using ABS type 4 Nickel Aluminum Bronze.

3.4. SURFACE FINISH – Surfaces of all propeller blades and hubs shall be polished to 125 micro inches or better in accordance with SAE-J-448A.

3.5. VISUAL INSPECTION - All propellers shall be free of flaws in accordance with the criteria of Table 1.1 and Figure 1.1 of the ABS Guidance Manual. Note: Dye penetrant examination is not required.

3.6. BORES, KEYWAYS, HUB DIMENSIONS & DETAILS - All bores, keyways, and hubs shall meet the dimensional requirements of SAE J755-80, table 3 for hubs without sleeves, including surface finish.

a. The nominal hub bore diameter shall be as specified for each propeller in the deliverable list.

b. The hub shall be the full length of the taper as a minimum in accordance with table

3 or table 4 of reference 2.4.1.a, unless otherwise noted in table 1.

c. Each propeller shall be marked in the hub area with the diameter and pitch in that order, separated by an “X”.

3.7. BALANCING - Each propeller shall be single plane balanced as stated herein. All balancing shall be accomplished by means of balancing equipment, which requires rotation of the work piece. The residual unbalance in each plane of correction shall not exceed the value determined by calculating the following formula: U = 4000W/N2 where:

REVISION - 04/25

U = Maximum allowable residual unbalance in oz.-inches

W = Weight of rotating part in pounds

N = Maximum operating speed (RPM) of propeller

Prior to performing any balance tests, the Contractor shall demonstrate the sensitivity of the balance machine using a weight determined from the following formula: Ws =

0.5(U)/r where:

Ws = Sensitivity Weight

U = Propeller residual unbalance tolerance r = Radial location of the weight

The addition of this weight shall be easily detected and discernible to the balance machine operator.

3.7.1. The mandrel or concentric rings used to support the propeller during balancing shall not exceed a total indicated run-out (TIR) of .001 inches.

3.7.2. Material removed to effect balancing shall be taken from the suction face of the heavy blade. Care shall be taken to keep a fair surface.

a. The area from which metal is taken shall not come within 10 percent of the chord length to the leading or trailing edges.

3.7.3. Using W=319lbs and N=525, U is calculated to be 4.63 oz-in.

3.8. TOLERANCES - All tolerances shall be in accordance with drawing 75-WAGL-4400-

003, sheet 1 general notes tolerances. In the absence of any tolerances in USCG Drawing, then ISO 484/2, Class I shall be followed.

a. METHODS FOR MEASURING PITCH - Pitch may be measured by a computer controlled coordinate measurement machine or a “Pitchometer” that can be shown to be calibrated to and to produce equivalent accuracy to the methods of Section 4 of ISO 484/2 for Class I propellers in addition to the methods of Section 4.

b. MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS - Measurement of a section near the hub shall not be required where specified by ISO 484/2.
