MIL-DTL-83133H
4.5.1.2 Examination of empty containers. Before filled, each unit container shall be visually
inspected for cleanliness and suitability in accordance with ASTM D4057.
4.5.1.3 Examination of filled containers. Samples taken as specified in 4.4.2 shall be examined
for conformance to MIL-STD-290 with regard to fill, closure, sealing, leakage, packaging, packing, and
markings. Any container with one or more defects under the required fill shall be rejected.
4.5.2 Chemical and physical tests.
a. Tests to determine conformance to chemical and physical requirements of fuel supplied from
traditionally refined hydrocarbon distillate fuel oil meeting requirements of 3.1 shall be conducted in
accordance with Table I. The finished fuel shall pass all tests listed in Table I. No additional testing shall
be required. Requirements contained herein are not subject to corrections for test tolerances. If multiple
determinations are made, results falling within any specified repeatability and reproducibility tolerances
may be averaged. For rounding off of significant figures, ASTM E29 shall apply to all tests required by
this specification.
b. Tests to determine conformance to chemical and physical requirements of fuel supplied
containing synthesized materials meeting requirements of Table A-I or Table B-I as stipulated in 3.1.1
shall be conducted in accordance with Table I and Table A-II or Table B-II, respectively. The finished fuel
shall pass all tests listed in Table I and Table A-II or Table B-II, respectively. No additional testing shall
be required. Requirements contained herein are not subject to corrections for test tolerances. If multiple
determinations are made, results falling within any specified repeatability and reproducibility tolerances
may be averaged. For rounding off of significant figures, ASTM E29 shall apply to all tests required by
this specification.
4.5.3 Thermal stability tests. The thermal stability test shall be conducted using ASTM D3241.
Unless otherwise specified (see thermal stability in Table A-I and Table B-I), the thermal stability test shall
be conducted in accordance with 4.5.3.1 and 4.5.3.2. The heated tube shall be rated visually (see Annex
A1 of ASTM D3241).
4.5.3.1 ASTM D3241 test conditions.
a. Heater tube temperature at maximum point: 260 °C (500 °F).
b. Fuel system pressure: 3.45 MPa (500 psig).
c. Fuel flow rate: 3.0 mL/min.
d. Test duration: 150 minutes.
4.5.3.2 ASTM D3241 reported data. The following data shall be reported:
a. Differential pressure in millimeter of mercury (mm Hg) at 150 minutes, or time to differential
pressure of 25 mm Hg, whichever comes first.
b. Heater tube deposit visual code rating at the end of the test.
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in
the contract or order (see 6.2). When actual packaging of materiel 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.
