MIL-F-60037C (PA)

The flare with ejector set assembly shall be subjected

to the following cycling tests at room temperature in addi-

tion to the frequency scan and resonance endurance tests.

The equipment as mounted for the resonance tests shall be

vibrated at the displacements and accelerations defined by

the attached test curve with the frequency in a cycle con-

tinuously varied between the limits of the applicable curve

of approximately 15 minutes. The rate of change of frequency

shall be proportional to the frequency. The total test time

shall be 1-1/2 hours. This test shall be repeated with

vibration along each of three mutually perpendicular axes.

The cycling test may be broken into convenient ranges, pro-

vided the cycling rates and test times for each range are

not change. Testing shall be performed in accordance with

9200445 and 9200050.

4.5.2.2 Examination. - During and following vibration,

a check shall be made for broken screw, cap. Following the

vibration aircraft test, the squib circuit resistance shall

be checked for informational purposes. All cartridge assem-

blies shall be x-rayed to meet requirements of paragraph

4.4.2.7 of MIL-F-60035 and to determine whether any component

became dislodged or broken. All thirty two flares shall be

fired by delivering 28 volts and 3 amperes to each flare

(see 6.5).

4.5.3 Moisture content (packing material). - The mois-

ture content shall be determined in accordance with Method

240 of Specification UU-P-31 except that a 50 gram sample

shall be used.
