3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Qualification. Wire rope assemblies furnished under this specification shall be
products that are manufactured by a manufacturer authorized by the qualifying activity for listing
on the applicable QML before contract award (see 4.2 and 6.3). Qualification test samples will
be tested by a test facility located in the continental United States or Canada.
3.2 Materials. Wire rope shall conform to MIL-DTL-83420, MIL-DTL-18375,
MIL-DTL-87161, or MIL-DTL-87218 (see 6.2). Terminals shall conform to MIL-DTL-781,
SAE AS10081, and the applicable MS or NAS sheet (see 6.2). Special terminals not
dimensionally conforming to detail specifications shall conform to SAE AS10081 and/or the
applicable detail drawings (see 6.2).
3.3 Components. All wire rope assembly components having qualification requirements
must be acquired from sources having their products listed in the applicable terminal and wire
rope Qualified Products List (QPL).
3.4 Swaging. Wire rope assemblies shall be swaged in accordance with the appropriate
specifications, SAE AS10081 and/or detail drawings, as applicable. Before swaging, the wire
rope end shall be inserted to the full depth of the fitting bore and held in a manner that will
prevent slippage. Swaging shall be accomplished by uniformly cold-working the terminal until
its dimensions conform to the appropriate dimensions listed in the applicable specification or, in
the case of special terminals, to the appropriate dimensions listed in SAE AS10081 and/or
applicable drawings.
3.5 Breaking strength. The breaking strength of the wire rope assemblies shall not be
less than the allowable minimum breaking strength (MBS) for the type and size wire rope to
which the terminal is attached except as noted in 3.5.1 and 3.5.2.
3.5.1 Lower terminal breaking strength. The breaking strength of wire rope assemblies
employing terminals with breaking strengths lower than the wire rope shall not be less than the
allowable MBS of the terminal.
