4.2
Physical Performance Verification.
4.2.1
Weight and payload.
4.2.1.1 Weight. Compliance with 3.2.1 shall be determined by weighing the
shelter, the mounting kit, and the pintle extension including their associated
hardware. The scale used shall have one (1) pound or less graduation and shall
have an accuracy of at least plus or minus one (1) pound. The scale shall have a
current calibration, traceable to the National Institute for Standards and
Technology. Any item exceeding maximum weight listed in table I shall be
considered a failure.
4.2.1.2 Payload. Racks, shelves, attaching hardware, and individual weights
shall be installed in the shelter to simulate a payload of 3300 lb (see 3.2.1).
The simulated payload shall be distributed throughout the shelter (see 6.2). This
simulated payload shall be used for all verifications which require a payload, and
any failure of this payload (racks, shelves, or attaching hardware) attributable
to the shelter during the course of the test shall constitute failure of the test
being performed.
4.2.2
Parts interchangeability.
4.2.2.1 Spare parts. Compliance with 3.2.2.1 shall be determined by selecting
two shelters from the production lot of completed shelters. The parts listed in
table II shall be interchanged between the shelters. The interchange shall be
accomplished by removing the fasteners, interchanging the parts and reinstalling
the fasteners. Inability to interchange the parts or loss of functionality in
accordance with 3.2.2.1 shall constitute failure of this test.
4.2.2.2 Interface parts. Compliance with 3.2.2.2 shall be determined by
selecting one of each of the parts listed in table III from the production lot of
completed shelters. The interchange shall be accomplished by removing the
fasteners, interchanging the parts and reinstalling the fasteners with a
government furnished shelter/vehicle combination. Inability to interchange the
parts in accordance with 3.2.2.2 shall constitute failure of this test.
4.2.3 Shelter configuration. The shelter shall be inspected to determine
compliance with 3.2.3. Failure to meet the requirements of 3.2.3 shall constitute
failure of this test.
4.2.3.1 Shelter flatness and squareness. The following flatness and squareness
tests shall be performed to determine compliance with the requirements with
3.2.3.1. failure to meet the requirements of 3.2.3.1 shall constitute failure of
this test.
4.2.3.1.1 Flatness. The flatness of the shelter panels shall be determined
using a straight edge, that is at least 48 inches long, which is flat within 0.005
inches total. Two 1/8-inch shims shall be placed under the straight edge, one at
each end. A series of measurements shall be taken along the length of the
straight edge, in both the horizontal and vertical directions, across the
shelter's interior/exterior surfaces to identify the largest cup or bow.
