MIL-DTL-82633A (OS)
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful but is not
mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. The polymeric compound covered by this specification is intended for use as a
nonexplosive reactive material either for sealing, padding, or a combination of both, in the tail portion of
the explosive cavity of bombs where application is made by means of mixing-dispensing equipment.
Since the polymeric thermosetting compound covered by this specification was developed for military
use, there is no commercial application.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this specification
b. If required, the specific issue of individual documents referenced (see section 2)
c. Quantity of polymeric compound ordered (specify each component amount)
d. Whether first article inspection is required and, if so, specify the test activity (see 3.1.1 and
4.2)
e. Test data to be furnished procuring activity on conformance testing
f. Type and degree of contractor verification program required
g. Whether material is to be packed in pails or drums
h. Packaging requirements and special markings, if any (see section 5 and paragraphs 6.5 to
6.5.2)
6.3 First article. When a first article inspection is required, the contracting officer should provide
specific guidance to offeror(s) whether the sample(s) should be a preproduction sample, a first article
sample, a first production sample, a sample selected from the first production batches, or a standard
production sample from the contractor's current inventory. The contracting officer should also include
specific instructions in acquisition documents of the first articles. Invitation(s) for bid(s) should provide
that the U.S. Government reserves the right to waive the requirements for samples for first article
inspection to those bidders offering a product which has been previously acquired or tested by the U.S.
Government, and that bidders offering such products, who wish to rely on such production or test, must
furnish evidence with the bid that prior U.S. Government approval is presently appropriate for the
pending contract. Bidders should not submit alternate bids unless specifically requested to do so in the
solicitation.
6.4 Definitions.
6.4.1 Cured compound. The polymeric compound is considered the "cured compound"
approximately 16 hr after mixing.
6.4.2 Gelled compound. The polymeric compound is considered the "gelled compound" from the
time the reacting components gel until approximately 16 hr after mixing.
