the material specification supplemented where necessary with a drawing note or notes. The condition and form of the starting material need
not be the same as those of the finished part.
3.1.1 Heat Treatable Alloys. For materials which develop their machanical properties through heat treatment (e.g. alloy steels, heat treatable aluminum alloys, etc.), the finished part mechanical properties and hardness requirements are generally designated by the material specification supplemented by a heat treat note or notes. In case there is no heat treat note on the drawing, the finished part mechanical property and hardness requirements will be those specified by the material specification.
3.1.2 Non-Heat Treatable Allol!. For materials which do not develop their mechanical properties through heat treatment (e.g. plain austeni tic stainle'ss steel, work hardenable aluminum alloys, etc.)
the finished part mechanical properties are influenced by the properties of the starting material, by fabrication of the part and by stress relieving or annealing operations. In the absence of modifying drawing notes, the finished part mechanical properties and hardness requirements are those of the material called out.
3.1.3 Material and Process Certifications. Certification shall be provided for all materials and processes (except certifications are not required for low carbon steel with a carbon content of less than .30 percent except when specified on the drawing), unless' exempted by the purchase order. Tracability of material and process compliance to the supplier's source will be adequate control.
3.1.4 Interpretation of Materials Callout. Whenever low carbon steel SAE 1010 through 1030 or SAE 1010 through 1020 is specified on the drawing, alternate steel ASTM .4\36 or ASTM ASOO may be used.

8. CLASSIFICATION OF C~RACTERISTICS
8.1 Classification. Classification of characteristics provides a common basis for indicating during all phas.s of production, maintenance and operation, the relative hazard created if the characteristic were aiscrepant. The assiqnea aegree of classification does not in any way imply that the specified limits on all requirements do not have to be met in the manufacture and inspection of the producte These classifications are a prerequisite for statistical sampling.
8.l.1 Definitions. Characteristic. are those dimenSional, visual, functional, mechanical, or mat.rial features or properties which de.cribe and constitute the design of an item and which can be measured, observed or identified in order to determine conformance to desi9n requtrements. Sinell!! classifications are aSSigned by considering variation of on·iy one characteristic at a time, they are not necessarily valid if two or· more characteristics are discrepant simultaneously.
8.1.2 Interpretation of etc. lie/cit applied near the engineer's approval signature means that the arawinq or specification haa been classified for characteristics. The symbols used are:
(a) Critical Characteristics: e
Cb) Major Characteristics: e
(c) Minor characteri.stics: No symbol
It is possible. that a document will have no symbols. Provided the "C/CII 1s indicated, all characteristics are minor.
B.l.3 Location of Szmbols. Symbols are placed in clos. relation
to the characteristic. If the s~ol applies to only one dimenSional limit or to a portion of a note, it is placed in relation to the specific limit or the specific portion of the note is enclosed in brackets. When both US Customary and SI Unita are specified on the drawing, i.e., dual dimensioned arawings, the claSSification of characteristics symbol is applicable to both Units although the symbol is only shown with the OS Cus:tomary Unit.
8.1.4 Svmbols in Specifi~ation.. Critical and major characteristics in referenced specifications are indieatedby a direct reference on the drawing or by 'the applica~le symbol in the text of the specification.
22
PITF51-S18
8.1.5 Process and Test Symbol Inte~retation. When a manufacturing process, functional requirement, or inspection test is classified, the classification applies only to the inspectable end results.
8.1.6 Thread Symbol Inte~retation. When a thread is classified e.g. (~.250-28 UNJF-3A/MIL-S-8879) the classification symbol applies
to the pitch diameter (including roundness and taper) and the pitch diameter equivalents of lead and angle errors of internal and external threads and to the root radius of MIL-S-SS79 threads. The classification of other characteristics of thread fom. and size and the relationship between the thread and other machined aatums is minor unless otherwise
specified. '
9. MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT
9.1 Accuracy. The aceuracy of measurement. shall be such that
the probability of acceptance of non-conforming products ia insignificant. A lack of accuracy and repeatability (including temperature effect) equal to or lea. than 15 percent of the total tolerance spread (with 95 percent confidence) is regarded as satisfactory for all applications. Equipment with 1 ••• accuracy may be u,sed with the specific approval of the Purchaser.
9.2 Wear Allowance. Wear allowance for gages measuring all characteristics must be entirely within the part tolerance. Gages shall be conatructea so they will not pe~it acce~tance of parts which do not strictly con~orm to the drawing or specification requirements.
9.3 Non-Destructive Tests - Measurement Accuracy. Specified acceptability limits for magnetic particle~ penetrant methods, and radioqraphic non-destructive tests shall be measured to machinist scale accuracy.

APPENDIX A 10. BLACK OXIDE ACCEPTANCE CRITERLA
10.1 Uniform Black Acceptance Criteria. The criteria for judging the uniform black color requirement of MIL-C-13924 or AMS 2485 is as follows:
10.1.1 Color Uniformity. The uniform black color requirement applies to the basis metal only and not to welds. Color variation in welded areas, including copper colored areas, is normal and shall not be cause for rejection.
10.1.2 Color Variation of Hue In Assemblies. Variation of hue of component parts of assemblies, subassemblies or inseparable assemblies shall not be cause for rejection.
10.103 Color Variation of Hue in Detail Parts. Variation of hue of 'individual detail parts is normal when surface finish variations exist within the part and shall not be cause for rejection.
10.1 .. 4 Variations In Hue. The term "uniform blacklf covers a range of hues varyIng from gray to black and from maroon to black. These variations are normal and shall not be cause for rejection.
10.1~5 Smut Test. All surfaces including welded areas shall be free from red oxide (rust) and from a reddish-brown oxide (rust). The smut test as defined 1n MIL-C-13924 or AMS 2485, as applicable, shall be used to test for the existence of red oxide. Parts that pass the smut test shall not be rejected.
10.2 Com Criteria. The complete
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
coverage requ rement 0 or AMS 5 shall be judged by
the following criteria:
10.2.1 Coverage Wear-Through. Wear through of the black oxide coating on working surfaces thif slide together and are assembled for inspection prior to delivery is normal and shall not be cause for rejection. A hinge, a bearing, and a dowel pin pressed into a hole are examples of surfaces that can normally exhibit wear.

12.3.2.1 Fillet Size. Where fillet size is specified on the drawing, the \~lue shown"shall be considered as the minimum acceptable size. Size determination shall be the same as for a welded joint (see Fig- 12).
12.3.202 Voids. The diameter of any void shall not exceed three fourth (3/4) of the specified fillet size with a maximum limit of 0.06 in,ch. No more than two (2) voids per inch of fillet braze shall be acceptable.
12.4 Materials. Base materials. filler materials, atmospheres and flux shall be as specified on ,the drawin9. Where no flux is specified on the drawinq none shall be used.
if used must be of such composition and purity that the parts are not oxidized, nitriaed, carburized or decarburized on the surface.
12.5 Joint Preparation.
12.501 Clearance Requirements. Pre-braze joint clearance shall be .s s?ecified on the drawing_
12.5.2 Cleaning Requirements. The mating surfaees and adjacent areas of all parts to be joined, shall be adequately cleaned to remove all oil, gre.s., paint, oxiaes, dirt, scale, or foreign substances that will interfere with brazing. Cleaning processes shall not use materials which can become imbedded in the parent metal and interfere with brazing. The.e requirements apply to all sur£aces ~h.n furnace brazing in a controlled atmosphere or vacuum.
l2.5~3 Pre-Brazing Treatment.. Pre-brazing tr.atments such as chemical or electrolytic dips or he.t treatments shall not cause intergranular attack, interqranular oxidation or alloy depletion.
12.5.4 Abrasion. Moderate abrasion of matinq areas, to encourage capillary aetion, shall be per.mitted. Abrasive materials which can become imbedded in the parent metal and interfere with brazing shall not be used.
12.5.5 Locating Requirements. Parts to be joined may be held in relative positions by self ji99in9, fixtures or supportsf but locating by staking or welding i. not permitted unless specified on the drawing.
12.6 Brazing Operations.
12.6.1 Furnace Brazing.' The brazing cycle will be based upon time at a given indi~ated part tempe%ature.
37
PITF51-S18
12.6.1.1 Equipment. Furnaces, shall be fitted with automatic controls and recording devices such that temperature variations in the working zones shall be not greater than 2SoF. from the indicated temperature.
12.6.2 Filler Material Aeplic~tion. Filler metal shall be applied to the joint in such form and quantity as to yield a satisfactory joint. Where the flow of filler running out onto adjacent surfaces must be controlled, such control will be delineated on the engineering drawing.
12.6.3 Part Coolinq Requirements. If ~razin9 is done in a vacuum or protective atmosphere, the assemblies must be cooled in a vacuum or protective atmosphere to a temperature at which transfer to a non-protective atmosphere will not cause interqranular attack, intergranular oxidation, or alloy depletion.
12.7 Post-Brazina Ooerations.
12.7.1 Cleaning. All resiaual fluxes, salts, and stop-off rna terial:" must be completely removed.
12.7.2 Post-Eraze Beat Treatment. All post-braze heat treatments must be limited to temperatures below th. solidification temperature of the filler alloy.
l2.7.3 Passivation. Stainless steel parts that have been :brazed with copper or silver alloys .~all not be'subjectea to .passivation treatments except as specified on the drawing.
12.7.4 Post-Brazing Treatments. Brazed assemblies shall not be cleaned cy any method which will attaCk filler material or eaus~ intergranular attacks intergranu~ar oxidation or alloy 4epletion in the parent metal.
