METHOD 501
HIGH TEMPERATURE
1. PURPOSE. The high temperature test is conducted to determine the resistance of aerospace and ground equipment to elevated ternperatures that may be encountered during service life either in storage without protective packaging or under service conditions. In equip. r ~ t kigh temperature conditions may cause ; +?:rpermanent set of packings and gaskets. Siy?dir,g of parts may also rosult in items 12f complex construction cille to differectial expansion of dissimilar metals. Rubber, plastic, and plywood may tend to discolor, crack, bulge, check or craze. Closure and sealing strips may partially melt and adhere to contacting parts. The minimurn temperature of 52C (125F)is established as representing the maximum temperature of the ambient air. The temperature of 71C (160F) results from the addition of 19.4"C or 35F due to solar radiation and the higher temperatures are those resulting from the operation or confinement within cases or en-
closures of equipment which generate heat as a by-product.
PROCEDURE The test item shall be placed in the test chamber in accordance with section 3.2.:8. Theinternalchambertemperatureshall 5e raised to 7 l 0 C (1613F) snd maintained for a period of not less than 48 hours. T h internal cha-mber relative humidity shall not, exceed 15 per cent,. At the conclusion of the exposure period the internal chamber temperature shall then be adjusted to the highest operating temperature under which the test item is designed to <:perate andmaintained until tempmature stabilization of the test item is reached. T h e test item shall then be operated and the results com.par& with thedata obtained in section 3.2.1. The test itemshall then be removed from the test chamber, returnedto m m temperature and inspected as specifiedin section 3.2.4.

1 PURPOSE. Thetemperature shock test . is conducted to determine the effects on aerospace and ground equipmentof sudden changes in temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. Cracking or rupture of materials due to sudden dimensional changes by expansion or contraction is the principal difficulty to be anticipated. This could occur in service to aerospace equipment during rapid altitude changes and to groundequipment being moved fromheated sturage buildings to low temperature outdoor a r a , or vice versa. 2. PROCEDURE. p ae m I. The test item shallbe placed r td in the test chamber in accordance with section 3.2.2 and theinternal chamber temperature raised to 85C (185"F), to the temperature or specified in the detail specification, and maintained for a period of not less than 4 hours. At the conclusion of this time period the test item
shall, within 6 minutes, be transferred to a cold chamber with an internal temperature-40C of (-40F). The-equipment shall be exposed bo this temperature for a period of not less than 4 hours. At the conclusion of thia time period the test itemshall,within 5 minutes, be returned to the high temperature chambermaintained at 85C (185F).Thisconstitutes one cycle. The number of continuous cycles shall be three. The duration exposure at each extreme of temperature shall not be less than that speciited and may be extended to overnight expoarre to prevent interruption of the tranefer sequeme. At the conclusion of the low temperature partion of the third cycle, the teat item SW be removed from the test chamber, returned to room temperature, and within a period of one hour operated and the results compared with the data obtained in accordance with section 321 ... The test item shall then be inspected SI apecified in section 3.2.4.

METHOD 504 "PERATURE-ALTITUDE

1 PURPOSE. Thetemperature - altitude . test is intended to apply to aerospace equipment andis conducted to determinetheability of equipment to operate satisfactorily under simul-
(CYCLING)
taneously applied varying conditions of low pressure, high and low temperature and high relative humidity. Deleterious effects to be anticipated include leakage of gases or fluids from sealed enclosures, rupture of pressurized containers, congealing of lubricants,cracking or rupture of materials due to contraction or e-xpansion, short circuiting of electrical wiring
and other damaging effects which might be expected from exposure to any of the above environments singly. In addition, equipment dependent on a convection type cooling system may be affected dueto the reduction of efficiency of heat dissipation in less dense air.
2. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. The &st procedures specified herein are designed to
determinethatequipment will operatesatisfactorilyunder t h e environmental conditions outlined in table 504-1.

Figure 511-1 pertains to a specific test chamber and may not be used for all such test facilities. It i5 utilized herein for illustration of the method of employment only. Each test chamber must have its own chamber volume chart. Step 3. Knowing fuel temperature and specific gravity at 16C (60F) use ,figure 511-2 to determine specific gravity at given temperature. Step 4. Using figure 511-3 read from specific gravity determined under Step 3 for the correction factor k. Apply factor. . W,c. = WIT:sk 0.116 X 1.01 = 0.117 lbs, fuel weight (corrected). = The equipment used to vaporize the fuel for use in the explosion-proof test should be so designed that a small quantity of air and fuel vapor will be heated together to a temperature such that the fuel vapor will not condense as it is drawn from thevaporizer into the chamber.
4. PROCEDURE. Procedure I. Preparation for Test. a. The test item shall be installed in the test chamber in accordance with section 3.2.2 and in such a manner that normal electricaloperation is possible, and mechanical c o n t r 0 1 s may be operated through the pressure seals from the exterior of the chamber. External covers of the test item shall removed or loosbe ened to facilitate the penetration of the explosive mixture, Large test items may be tested one or more units a t a time by extending electrical connections through the cable port to the balance of the associated equipment located externally. b. The test item shall be operated to determine that it is functioning properly and to observe the location of any sparkinghigh or temperature components which may .constitute potential explosion hazards. c. Mechanical loads on drive assemblies and servomechanical and electrical loads on switches and relays may be simulated when necessary if proper precaution is given to duplicating the normal load in respecttotorque, voltage, current, inductivereactance,etc. In all instances it shall be considered-preferable to operate the test item as it normally functions in the system during service use. Performance of Test. The test shall conducted as follows at simube lated test altitudesof ground level to 5,000 feet, 10,000 feet (10,000 feet maximum for ground equipment, 20,000 feet, 30,000 feet, 40,000 feet and 50,000 feet. Pressures for altitudes given are in the ARDC Model Atmosphere, 1959. Step 1. The test chamber shall be sealed and the ambient temperature within shall be raised to 71 -+ 3C (160 I+ 5F),
5 1 1-2
or to the maximum temperature to which the test item is designed to operate (if lower than 7 1 C . 160F). The tempera~ ture of the test h m and the chamber walls shall be permitted to risetowithin 11C or 20F of that bS the chamber ambient air, prior to introduction of the explosive mixture. presStep 2. Theinternaltestchamber sure shallbe reduced sufficiently to sim late an altitude approximately fee 10,000 above the desired test altitude. The weight of fuel necessary to produce an air-vapor ratio of 18 to 1 at the desired testaltitudeshall bedeterminedfrom consideration of chamber volume, fuel temperature and specific gravity, chamber ar and wall temperature, test altitude, (see etc. para. 31 of thistest . method). A time of 3 4 1 minutes shall be allowed for introduction and vaporization of the fuel.Airshall be admitted into the chamber until a simulated altitude of 5,000 feet above the test altitude is attained. Step 3. Operation of thetestitemshall at this time be commenced, all making and breaking electrical contacts being actuated. If high temperature components are present, a warmup time of 16 minutes shall be permitted. If no explosion results,airshall be admittedinto the chamber so as to steadily reduce the altitude down past the desired test alt& tude to an elevation 5,000 feet below that altitude. The operation of the test item shall be continuous throughout this periodof altitude reduction and all making and breaking electrical contacts shall be operated as frequently as deemed practicable. Step 4. If by the time the simulated altitude hasbeen reduced to 5,000 feet thetestaltitude, no explosion curred as a result of operation of the tes

1 PUEPOSE. The acoustical noise test is . O e n to determine the effects an aerospace d M equilpment of acoustic sound fielda that are of ahraft,missile and other high a m vehicles. In general, equipments ocated m area8 where noise levels are 130 db overall or less will not require testing to noise environments. The acoustical noise test is not intended to be a subatitute for theconventional sinusoidal or random vibration test when specispeciticatim. The be considered onIy ed shock and vibra-
small suriace areas (severalsquarefeet or lees), high mass to volume ratios, and high i n t e d damping. Examples are a8 follows:
a H i h density modules, particulrvlg the . solid or encapsulated type.
Some equipments are inacoustic stimulation even at very 'other equipments may respond in a marner that will modify or disrupt the equipS& E I function. In extreme cases mechanical failure may result. Eguipments that are sensitive to vibration are usually sensitive to sound field exposure. For this reason a suitable vibration te& is often a g w indicator of acoustic sensitivity. However, it is possible. that high fmquemy ~ n aof some s ~ responding equipm n ekzse~tamay be overlooked during the et v k s t k m W due t high frtxpencylimitations o of the shaker apd v i i a t i o n attenaation of the test jig snd the e up e t undes ts. The q i mn et fdbwimg aiteria are presented as a guide for the initid dekrmhation of equipment sensitm&mustic StiMUli. such criteria cztllllot be COnaMered as the single determining factor. The W deciaion, whether or not to test, must be rmpplemented by such additional factors as a description of the characteristics and duration of the sound field, the location of the equipment within the vehicle structure, anda consideration of special mounting means or protective enclosures employed for theequipment.

METHOD 517 LOW PRESSURE-SOLARENERGY

1. PURPOSE. The low pressure solar energy test is conducted to determinewhether aerospace vehicles such as satellites, external instrumentation packages, spacecraft, and space stations, with associated equipment, can withstand the deleterious effects of combined space environments. environments Such and conditions include solar radiation, low pressure. temperature gradients, and natural heat sink conditions. Damaging effects include sublimation and deterioration of materials, changein friction coefficients, and change in operating characteristics of equipment. Conditions and effects related to zero gravity, micrometeorite hits, and high energy particleradiation are recognized but, because of inadequate simulation techniques. are not included in this test method.
2 SCOPE. The tests described in this test method are intended for the evaluation of complete aerospace vehicles including installed equipment.
3. PREPARATION FOR TEST. In preparing the environmental and flight program for a test, typical information needed would be as follows : a. Need for simulating emitted and reflected thermal radiation from the earth or other planets as applicable. b. Rotational modes and attitude orientation, as applicable. c. Programming of solarelectromagnetic energy in accordance with the mission. (Day and night orbiting periods fcr satellites, instrumentation packages, etc. j d. Equipment operation duty cycles.
