MIL-DTL-15119B(OS)
6.3 Hydrostatic test fiber stress. The pressure criteria for the hydrostatic test is as specified (see 6.2.f). It is
intended that the tubes covered by this specification be subjected by the hydrostatic pressure test to a fiber stress no
greater than 75,000 pounds per square inch as calculated from the following formula:
b2 a2
SP 2
b a2
Where:
S=Fiber stress in pounds per square inch
P=Hydrostatic test pressure in pounds per square inch
b=Outside radius of the tube in inches
a=Inside radius of the tube in inches
6.3.1 Rejection due to failing hydrostatic test. Failure of hydrostatic test should be cause for rejection of the
tubing lot. The Government may waive rejection of this CRITICAL requirement if a subsequent investigation into
the failure is able to determine that a) the root cause for the failure is isolated to the tubing that failed, and b) the
tubing otherwise meets all of the requirements of the contract and this specification, and c) sufficient measures are in
place to prevent defective tubing from this lot from being used in a gun primer.
6.4 Packaging.
6.4.1 Preservation. Unless otherwise specified (see 6.2), all tubing should be coated inside and outside with
corrosion preventive compound conforming to MIL-PRF-16173, which should be diluted 50 percent, by volume,
with the solvent specified in paragraph entitled "Solvent" of MIL-PRF-16173.
6.4.2 Packing. Unless otherwise specified (see 6.2), tubing should be packed in accordance with ASTM A700.
When tubing is procured for receipt, storage, and issue by a Department of Defense facility, marking of the
packaging should be in accordance with MIL-STD-129.
6.5 Definitions. For definitions of terms relating to metals and metal-working, refer to MIL-HDBK-723.
6.6 Subject term (key word) listing.
