MIL-DTL-6117L
3.5.2 Wire strand breaking strength. The breaking strength of wire rope assemblies
employing MIL-DTL-87161 wire strand shall not be less than 80 percent of the allowable wire
strand breaking strength.
3.6 Workmanship. Workmanship shall be such that, after swaging, terminals shall be
uniform in quality and free from pits, voids, burrs, sharp edges, rust, laps, cracks, splits,
manufacturing indentations or other physical imperfections.
3.7 Proof load test. All wire rope assemblies shall be subjected to a proof load test in
accordance with MIL-DTL-5688. Unless otherwise specified, the breaking strength for
applications using NAS494 terminals and/or wire rope other than MIL-DTL-83420, shall be 60
percent of the terminal MBS, or 60 percent of the wire rope MBS, or 60 percent of the wire rope
assembly MBS, whichever is lower.
3.8 Slippage indicator. The junction of the swaged fitting and wire rope will be marked
with a durable, permanent paint or similar media to assist in determining evidence of slippage.
The color of the marking shall be as specified in the contract, order, or drawing. If no color is
specified, a color that is clearly visible and contrasting with surrounding elements shall be used.
3.9 QML requirements. The manufacturer shall comply with the requirements for QML
certification of wire rope assembly fabrication and inspection.
3.9.1 Quality management system (QMS) implementation. The manufacturer shall
implement and maintain a QMS in accordance with the criteria and provisions contained in
Appendix A.
3.9.2 QML qualification. Wire rope assemblies fabricated in accordance with this
specification shall be products that are manufactured by a manufacturer authorized by the
qualifying activity for listing on the applicable QML.
3.9.3 Qualifying activity on-site evaluation. The evaluation will involve a qualifying
activity review of the manufacturer's quality manual prior to an on-site visit to the facility(s)
where the wire rope assemblies are being fabricated. The manufacturer shall demonstrate to the
qualifying activity that the QMS is being applied, on a routine basis, in the wire rope assembly
process and all related support processes. Qualification wire rope assembly samples will be
selected and tested in accordance with paragraph 4.2.
3.9.4 QML listing. A notification of qualification letter will be issued upon successful
completion of the qualification process and the approval of the qualification documentation by
the qualifying activity.
