MIL-DTL-417H
6. NOTES
6.1 Intended use. The M1A5 priming adapter is used to simplify the priming of military
demolition explosives having threaded cap wells, and using Army special blasting caps, both
electric and non-electric.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a.
Title, number and date of this specification.
b.
Requirements for physical configuration audit.
c.
Requirements for first article.
d.
Requirements for conformance.
e.
Requirements for ammunition lot numbering, if applicable.
f.
Requirement for Acceptance Inspection Equipment (AIE) designs.
g.
Certificate of conformance for each lot or shipment of product.
h.
When shipping adapters from more than one lot are shipped as a carload, each
lot should be kept separate and the division between lots clearly indicated to prevent
mixing of the lots in transit.
6.3 Submission of inspection equipment designs for approval. Equipment designs as
required per the Contract Data Requirements Lists (DD Form 1423) should be sent to U.S. Army
RDECOM-ARDEC, ATTN: RDAR-QEM-G, Picatinny, New Jersey 07806-5000.
6.4 Dimensional control of molded parts. This paragraph applies to an alternate method
of dimensional control to those dimensions which are considered "as molded", and which do not
undergo subsequent operations. In place of normal sampling and inspections associated with the
Classifications of Defects, and with the approval of the Contracting Officer, and after a curing
time for the parts has been approved, a sample of five (5) parts (as molded) from each cavity
should be inspected dimensionally to qualify a new or reworked cavity for use in production. The
molded parts should carry the individual cavity identification when more than one cavity is used
in production. As a control of each cavity during production, the above quantity of parts from
each cavity should be inspected for the dimensional defects listed in paragraph 4.4.3.1 after
continuous production of each 5,000 parts or at the end of each week, whichever occurs first. Of
the five (5) samples, one (1) sample should be the last part produced. If any defective parts are
found during qualification of the cavity, the cavity producing the defective parts should not be
used in production. If any defective parts are found when inspection is performed for the control
of the cavity, the cavity producing the defective part should be removed from production.
Further, that portion of production since the last control check should be returned to the
contractor for inspection for each separate type of defect. All cavities removed from production
because of some fault, may, after reworking, be returned to production providing they pass the
qualification test above. The contractor may request a change in inspection frequency providing
they present objective evidence to the contracting officer to substantiate the request.
6.4.1 Curing time. The curing time should be established by checking ten (10) parts from
each cavity at periodic intervals (e.g., every 30 min, 60 min, etc.), until dimensional stability is
attained. The curing time should be from the time the part comes out of the mold until
