MIL-DTL-85054D(AS)
4.6.2.1 Conditioning of compound sample. A container of the compound shall be exposed
to the following cycle four times without physical disturbance of the compound:
Eight hours at 130 +2 °F (55 +1°C)
Sixteen hours at -40 +2 °F (-40 +1°C)
At the end of this cyclic exposure the contents of the sealed container shall be allowed to remain
at 75 +5 °F (24 +2 °C) for 24 hours.
4.6.3 Synthetic sea water displacement. Panels prepared as in 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 shall be
placed so that one 2-inch end is raised one inch above a horizontal surface. The panels shall then
be sprayed with synthetic sea water. Within one minute after spraying, one milliliter of the test
compound shall be poured along the upper two-inch edge of the panels and allowed to run slowly
down the specimen to completely cover the test panel. After another minute, a second milliliter
of the test compound shall be poured and allowed to run down the panels in the same manner.
After waiting an additional minute, the panels shall be picked up and held in a vertical position
for one minute and shall then be placed flat (test side up) above distilled water at 72 °F (22 °C) in
a closed desiccator. After 4 hours, they shall be removed and cleaned with mineral spirits, and
then evaluated for visible corrosion.
4.6.4 Sprayability.
4.6.4.1 Self-pressurized container (types I and IA). A filled self-pressurized container shall
be cooled to 0 °F (32 °C) and held at that temperature for 3 hours then stored at 40 °F (4 °C) for
20 hours. Immediately after conditioning, the container shall be vigorously shaken for 15 seconds
and the material shall be sprayed for 30 seconds. The material shall pass the test if it can be
sprayed for 30 seconds.
4.6.4.2 Bulk form container (types II and IIA). A container conforming to
SAE-AS22805 shall be filled with the compound, then tested in accordance with 4.6.4.1.
4.6.5 Storage stability. A container of compound for each type shall be stored at room
temperature for one year, after which the compound shall be tested for all requirements of this
specification with the exception of storage stability.
4.6.6 Specialized tests for self-pressurized containers.
4.6.6.1 Leakage. The self-pressurized container shall be completely submerged for five
minutes in water maintained at not less than 130 +2 °F (55 +1 °C) during which it shall be
observed for the emission of bubbles. Distortion of the container or the emission of bubbles
from any part of the container shall denote leakage.
4.6.6.2 Fill. A sample container shall be weighed and then shall be sprayed at three-minute
periods with one-minute intervals until the container is emptied. The container shall be
