4.6.1 Dryness. Three test disks prepared as specified in 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 shall be coated as
specified in 4.4.3 using compound conditioned as specified in 4.6.2.1 and allowed to hang in a
vertical position for three hours. The disks shall then be weighed and completely immersed
vertically in talcum powder and withdrawn immediately. The disks shall then be reweighed to the
nearest 0.0001 gram. The average change in weight shall be recorded. This procedure shall be
repeated with uncoated test panels. The uncoated test panels shall be used as controls. The
average weight increase of the coated panels as compared with the weight increase of the
uncoated panels shall be the measure of dryness.
4.6.2 Neutral salt spray test. Test panels prepared and coated as specified in 4.5
shall be subjected to ASTM B117 salt spray exposure. Incline three specimens at 6 degrees in a
rack. After 28 days, clean test panels in solvent conforming to MIL-PRF-680, and examine for
any visible corrosion.
