MIL-B-18F
4.6.1.4.2.1 Missing capacity values. If, for any reason, upon completion of the T test, there are fewer than n valid
capacity values available for the evaluation of the contract lot quality, the missing values shall be set equal to the
applicable requirement. If, during the performance of the contract lot inspection, fewer sample units than required are
furnished on more than two occasions, the Government shall have the option to set the missing values to zero
performance.
4.6.1.4.3 Noncompliance.
4.6.1.4.3.1 Capacity T. If the capacity T test results do not show compliance with the requirements, as defined in
4.6.1.4.2, the entire lot shall be considered as not being in compliance with requirements of this specification, and an
adjustment shall be made.
4.6.1.4.3.2 Capacity D. If the number of failures on sample batteries, subjected to the capacity D test, capacity
values below the minimum capacity value (SLD) specified in 3.1 exceeds the applicable acceptance number for the
contract lot size n, allowed by table VIII, the contract lot is not in compliance.
4.6.1.4.4 Shipment. When the inspection lot passes group A and group B inspections, all sample batteries
selected as specified in 4.6.1.4.1 for group C inspections, shall be shipped to the Government inspection facility (see
6.2e) at no additional cost to the Government.
4.6.1.4.5 Marking of test batteries. Sample batteries, allocated to tests specified in 4.6.1.4, shall be marked
"(*) TEST SAMPLE." The asterisk (*) shall be replaced by "T" or "D", as applicable. The marking shall be
rubber-stamped or placed on a label, securely attached to each battery. However, on batteries weighing eight ounces
or less, the above marking shall be placed on the outside of each unit package.
4.6.1.4.6 Packaging of test batteries. Sample batteries, allocated as specified in 4.6.1.4, shall be separately
unit-packaged as specified in 5.1. Any void spaces, in unit packages containing sample batteries, shall be filled with
filler material or dummy batteries. Each unit package shall be marked "RESERVED FOR (*) TEST, DO NOT OPEN
UNTIL COMPLETION OF STORAGE PERIOD." The asterisk (*) shall be replaced by "T" or "D", as applicable.
4.6.1.4.7 Packing of test batteries. The unit packages shall be packed in a shipping container in accordance with
5.1. Maximum gross weight of shipping containers, enclosing these sample batteries, shall be sixty (60) pounds.
4.7 Visual and mechanical examination. Batteries shall be examined to determine compliance with all applicable
requirements and characteristics listed in table IX. When internal examination is necessary, it shall be performed
either during fabrication of the battery or by dismantling the finished battery. For dimensions and weight, batteries
shall be examined for compliance with requirements, as specified (see 3.1).
