MIL-C-13864B(EA)
4.4.6 Tests.
4.4.6.1 Chemical Surety Material (CSM) testing precautions and responsibility. This
document requires the use and testing of chemical material, including CSM which is poten-
tially y hazardous to per-some]. All applicable safety rules, regulations, and procedures shall
be followed in the handling and processing of these materials. Testing with CSM (i.e., CK)
shall be conducted in a facility which has been approved for this type of operation by the
U.S. Army. All generalized and specialized handling procedures required by Army Regula-
tion AR 50-6 shall be followed when handling or storing CSM (see 6.7).
4.4.6.2 Volume of filling. The volume of filling shall be determined with the Q134
Chemical Container Volume Meter (Drawing 38-5-296).
4.4.6.3 Charcoal moisture content. The charcoal moisture content shall be determined
in accordance with ASTM D 2867 using the the oven-drying test method. Samples for
moisture content shall be 10 to 12 g.
4.4.6.4 Valve leakage. Valve leakage shall be determined using the Q211 Flow Type
Air Leakage Tester (Drawing 136-14-1 70-5).
4.4.6.3 Valve resistance. The valve resistance shall be determined using the Q212 Inlet
and Outlet Valve Resistance Indicator (Drawing 136-44-1-5).
4.4.6.6 Canister resistance. The canister resistance shall be determined using the 0112
Air Purifier and Chemical Container Resistance Indicator (Drawing 38-635 1-1) as follows:
Draw air through the influent opening and out through the effluent opening at a rate equiva-
lent to 85 liters per minute at 25°C and 760 millimeters of mercury (see 6.8 and 6.9). Do
not continue the flow of air through the canister any longer than necessary to take resistance
reading.
4.4.6.7 Canister leakage. After the canister is assembled, it shall be tested for canister
leakage by immersing the item in water at an air pressure differential of 34.5 x 103 Pa (5
psi). Immersion time shall be no less than 10 seconds, commencing after surface and en-
trapped air bubbles are removed from the item.
4.4.6.8 Gas Life. The CK gas life shall be determined with the Q95 All Purpose Gas
Life Testing Apparatus (Drawing 136-41 -600-1 I)(see 4.4.6.1). The DMMP and GB gas
life shall be determined with the Q216 Agent Gas Sorption Test Apparatus (Drawing
136-4 1-850-3) (see 6.10). Gas life conditions shall be as shown in table V.
4.4.6.9 Dioctylphthalate [DOP) aerosol penetration. The DOP aerosol penetration shall
be determined using the Q127 DOP Filter Testing Penetrometer (Drawing 136-42-102-65).
