MIL-PRF-24613A(SH)
4.4 Inspection conditions. Unless otherwise specified in 4.5, all tests shall be performed in accordance with the
test conditions specified in Section 9, Routine and Referee Testing Conditions, of FED-STD-141. The term referee
conditions shall mean a temperature of 23±1 °C (73±2 °F) and a relative humidity of 50±4 percent. All test
specimens shall be cured to service in accordance with manufacturer's instructions before testing unless otherwise
specified (see 4.5).
4.4.1 Test panels and surface preparation. Unless otherwise specified in 4.5, test panels shall be nominal 150
millimeters by 150 millimeters by 3 millimeters (6 inches by 6 inches by 0.125 inch) plate aluminum or 150
millimeters by 150 millimeters by 3 millimeters (6 inches by 6 inches by 0.125 inch) cold rolled steel. Test panels
shall be preconditioned by exposing the bare metal panels to a salt fog spray for 100 hours in accordance with
ASTM B117. Test panels shall then be wiped and degreased in accordance with Methods B, C, or D of ASTM
D609. The degreased test panels shall be mechanically cleaned in accordance with SSPC-SP 3 on both sides. For
direct-to-metal deck covering systems (that don't require a separate primer or underlayment), the panels shall remain
unprimed prior to application of the deck covering system. For deck covering systems requiring an anti-corrosive
primer, the panels shall be primed with the primer or bond coat included by the manufacturer as part of the deck
covering system, or with a primer conforming to MIL-DTL-24441 if no specific primer is identified by the
manufacturer. For products that require installation over underlayment conforming to MIL-PRF-3135, Type III,
Class 2 shall be applied to the panel to a thickness of 0.125 inch and allowed to cure to service per manufacturer's
instructions.
4.5 Tests.
4.5.1 Identification characteristics. The manufacturer shall provide a report providing all of the identification
characteristics required by Table I.
4.5.2 Toxicity. To determine conformance with the requirements of 3.5.2, the material shall be evaluated by
the Navy Environmental Health Center (NEHC) (see 6.6).
4.5.2.1 Asbestos content. Asbestos content shall be determined on a dry film of the deck covering in
accordance with 29 CFR 1915.1001, Appendix K, and the results shall be recorded as a percent by weight of the dry
deck covering film.
4.5.2.2 Soluble and total metal content. Soluble and total metal content, except tantalum and tungsten, shall be
determined on a dry film of the deck covering system in accordance with the 40 CFR 261, Appendix II, Method
1311, and the appropriate test listed in Tables V and VI. Tantalum and tungsten soluble metal content and total
metal content shall be analyzed as specified in 4.5.2.2.1.
