4.5 First article inspection. The manufacturershall submit to thequalifying laboratory (see 4.4.l_)a 10 pound sample of grease taken from thefirst contract or order, after the product has passed the qualificationinspection (see 6.3). The tests shall be limited to the requirementsof 3.4and 3.6 and the methods of 4.7.2. Oelivery of the grease shal1 not be delayedpending completion of testing’on the first article sample by the qualifying1aboratory.

4.6 Quality conformance inspection. The quality confonnance inspectionofthe grease shal1 consist of tests of samples from 4.6.2.2 in accordancewithtable 111 and an examinationof samples from 4.6.2.1 for conformancewith4.7.1. Samples shal1 be labeled completely with the informationidentifyingthe purpose of the sample, name of product, specificationnumber, lot andbatch number, data of sampling and contract number.

4.6.1 Lot formation. A lot shall consist of al1 the grease produced byone manufacturer, at one plant, from the same materials and under essentiallythe same,conditions, provided the operation is continuous and does not exceeda 24 hour period. In the event the process is a batch operation, each batchshall constitute a lot (see 6.7).

‘... 4.6.2.2 For tests. The sample for tests shall consist of two five-poundsamples of grease taken at random from filled containersfrom each lot ofgrease. For users who obtain grease in large containers,two five-poundsamples shal1 be taken in accordancewith ASTM O 270. One sample shall betested for all the tests specified in 4.7.2; the other sample shall beretained. If a test result does not.comply with the requirementsof any ofthe tests specified in 4.7.2, the test in question shall be repeated using theretained sample. The lot shal1 be unacceptable if the average of both testresults fails to comply with any of the tests specified in 4.7.2.

4.7 Methods of examinationsand tests.

4.7.1 Exmninations. Each of the filled containers,selected in accordancewith 4.6.2.1, shall be examined for defects of the container and closure, forevidence of leakage and for unsatisfactorymarkings to deternsine conformancewith 5.1. Each sample container shal1 also be weighed to determine the amountof contents. If the number of defective containersexceeds the acceptancenumber.of the sampl.irig-planspecif-ied-in4.6.2.1, the–lot shall be rejected.-—--

e. Allow part to drip dry.

f. When part has dried, suspend it in vapor of boiling heptanefor 30 seconds.

9. Allow.part to al’rdry.

h. Weigh each test ring“andblock to the nearest 0.1 mg.

i. Store specimens in desiccator until ready to use.

Lubricate the quarter segment of the specimen holder and the threadedsection.with grease conforming to MIL-G-23549. Apply the grease to be tested to thetest ring.surface,making sure that the entire wear surface is completelycovered with test grease. Mount the test block in the quarter segment (cleanlint-freecotton gloves should be used in handling the specimens)and positionboth in the specimen holdermaking sure that the quarter segment and block aresecurely positioned in the cylindrical slot. With one hand holding the testblock mount, tighten with a“torque wrench to 28.2 nm (250 in-lbs). Apply theadditionaltest grease to the area of the test block which overlaps the ringon both sides of the block. Place a 454 gram (g) (one pound) weight inposition on the bale rods. Align the two referencemarkers by adjustjng theturn buckle on the friction rod. Tighten locknutson the turn buckle.Position the friction force cut-off level. The cut-off level is set at 177.9N(40 1bf) for a 0.44 coefficientof friction. Adjust the amplitude ofosci1lation for a 90 degree arc.

4.7.3.7 Procedure. With the revolutioncounter set at zero start themachine and adjust the oscillating speed to 87.5 cpm making sure at this pointthat the reference markers are perfectly aligned. Add a 454 g weight at 60cycles and another 454 g weight at 120 cycles. Run until failure isencountered‘dueto excessive friction (cut-offu.44 coefficientof friction)or to 35,000cycles. After reaching 35,000 cycles, dismount and clean testblock. Measure wear scar width in accordancewith ASTM O 2714. The wear scarwidth shall conform to table I.

5. PACKAGING

5.1 Packaging, packing and marking. The grease shal1 be packaged, packedand marked in accordancewith MIL-STD-290. The type and size of thecontainers and the level of packaging and packing shall be as specified by theacquiring activity (see 6.2.1).
