4.5 Methods of inspection.
4.5.1 Breaking strength after heat aging. Two breaking strength specimens, prepared as specified in
method 6015 of FED-STD-191, shall be heated for 5 days in a convection air oven at 175° ± 2° F. After
aging, the specimens shall be allowed to reach equilibrium under standard conditions before being tested
for strength. Breaking strength shall be determined in accordance with Method 6015 of FED-STD-191. The
percent change in strength shall be calculated based on the average strengths initially and after heat aging.
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the

within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or within the military service's system commands.

automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contracting the responsible packaging activity.
