MIL-DTL-18375H
4.6 Preparation for delivery. The preservation, packaging, packing, and marking shall be
examined for conformance to section 5.
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as
specified in the contract or order (see 6.2). When packaging of material is to be performed by
DoD or in-house contractor personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging
activity to ascertain packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the
Inventory Control Point's packaging activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or
within the military service's system commands. 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.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful,
but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. The wire rope covered by this specification is intended for use in
aircraft control systems applications where low magnetic permeability is needed. Wire rope
conforming to composition B of MIL-DTL-83420 has higher strength and magnetic permeability
than wire rope conforming to this specification.
6.1.1 Application limitations. Leak-out evaporation of the lubricant applied to the wire
rope during fabrication and preparation for shipment can be expected. Therefore, upon
installation and periodically throughout the service life, the wire rope should be lubricated. The
method of lubrication, frequency, and identity of the approval military standard lubricant should
be included in the appropriate aircraft maintenance manuals.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this specification.
b. Size, construction, and length of wire rope per reel to be furnished.
c. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
6.3 Qualification. With respect to products requiring qualification, awards will be made
only for products that are, at the time of award of contract, qualified for inclusion in QPL-18375
whether or not such products have actually been so listed by that date. The attention of
contractors is called to these requirements, and manufacturers are urged to arrange to have the
products that they propose to offer to the Federal Government tested for qualification in order
that they may be eligible to be awarded contracts or orders for the products covered by this
specification. Information pertaining to qualification of products may be obtained from Defense
Supply Center Richmond, ATTN: DSCR-VEB, 8000 Jefferson Davis Highway, Richmond, VA
23297-5616.
