4.3.3 Stability. The stability of the thread compound shall be determined by placing 50 grams of
the compound in each of the two cone-shaped centrifuge tubes, and centrifuging at 1,500 rpm for 30
minutes. An apparatus that can be used for this test is described in ASTM D2709. Separation shall be
defined as droplets or layer of oil appearing on the surface of the compound after centrifuging.
4.3.4 Rejection. Failure of any sample selected in accordance with 4.2.2 to pass any of the tests
of 4.3 shall be cause for rejection of the lot represented.
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.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not
mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. This compound is particularly suitable for use on military aircraft engine spark
plugs and threaded fasteners and fittings at temperatures below 427°C (800°F). This compound contains
molybdenum disulfide which at higher temperature conditions [538°C (1000°F) and above] may induce
hot corrosion of fastener or contiguous materials. Accordingly, its use at higher temperatures will be
avoided. AMS 2518 thread compound should be used in lieu of products directed by this specification in
these high temperature applications for Air Force use.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a.
Title, number, and date of this specification.
b.
Grade and quantity of oil required.
c.
Packaging requirements (see 5. 1)
