MIL-PRF-52348D
4.5.2. Low temperature. Place a flaking box, with hose assembly, and a packing kit in a
controlled temperature chamber. Lower the temperature to -45 ±2 °F and maintain for 24 hours.
At the end of 24 hours, while maintaining a -45 ±2 °F temperature, conduct a visual examination
of the packing kit for damage or deformation. Raise the chamber temperature to 25 ±2 °F and
maintain for 12 hours. While maintaining a 25 ±2 °F temperature, perform a kit test (see 4.5.1).
Damage or deformation from exposure to low temperature storage shall constitute cause for
rejection. Failure of the packing kit components to perform as specified herein at the low
operating temperature shall constitute failure of this test.
4.5.3 High temperature. Place a flaking box, with hose assembly, and a packing kit in a
controlled temperature chamber. Raise the temperature to 160 ±2 °F and maintain for 24 hours.
At the end of 24 hours, while maintaining a 160 ±2 °F temperature, conduct a visual examination
of the packing kit for damage or any deformation. Lower the chamber temperature to 120 ±2 °F
and maintain for 12 hours. While maintain a 120 ±2 °F perform a kit test (see 4.5.1). Showing
signs of damage, or deformation, at the high storage temperature shall constitute cause for
rejection. Failure of the packing kit components to perform as specified herein at the high
operating temperature shall constitute failure of this test.
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
personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain requisite
packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's
packaging activity within the Military Department or Defense Agency, or within the Military
Department's System Command. 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. The hoseline packing kit is to be used in the repackaging of a dispensed
hose assembly and components into a flaking box as defined in MIL-PRF-52262. The item is
military unique in that there are no equivalent flaking sub-systems used in commercial
applications. Further, like commercial systems, that may be adapted, will not withstand the
diversity of environments and field conditions in which the kit is to be used.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents shall specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this publication.
b. Issue of DoDISS to be cited in the solicitation, and if required, the specific issue of
individual documents referenced (see 2.2.1).
c. When and if first article is required, number of units required, and time frame for
submission (see 3.2 and 6.3).
