4.5 Examinations.
4.5.1 Examination of product. Samples shall be examined to determine conformance to
the applicable drawing and requirements not covered by the tests in 4.6.
4.6 Tests.
4.6.1 Mechanical tests.
4.6.1.1 Breaking strength. The wire rope assembly test sample shall be subjected to a
load not less than that specified in paragraph 3.5. The manner in which the load shall be applied
to the fitting end of the terminal shall be governed by the design of the fitting. Prior to
application of the load, the assembly shall have a slippage indicator applied in accordance with
3.8. Breaking of the wire rope before reaching the specified load, any slippage of the wire rope
in the terminals, and/or any signs of failure in the terminal shall be cause for rejection of the lot
represented by the test sample.
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.
