6. NOTES

(This section contains general or explanatory information that may be helpful, but is not
mandatory.)

6.1 Intended use. The leak detection compound covered by this specification is military unique.
This specification is the industry standard for this compound. No commercial equivalent exists.
This compound assures the purity of military aviators' breathing systems by prohibiting the
introduction of contaminants. This assures the safety, health, and compatibility of oxygen gas
with the variety of methods used in military aircraft. It also assures the stability of breathing
systems during military operations (bombing, air-to-air combat evasive maneuvering, etc.). These
extreme conditions are not found in commercial applications.

6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents must specify the following:

a. Title, number, and date of this specification and any amendments thereto.
b. Type of compound (see 1.2).
c. Size container required as applicable.
d. Issue of DoDISS to be cited in the solicitation, and if required, the specific issue of
individual documents referenced (see 2.3).
e. When first article is required (see 3.1, 4.1.1 and 6.3).
f. Instructions on submittal of first article samples and test reports will be cited in the
contract.
g. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).

6.3 First article. When requiring a first article inspection, the contracting officer should provide
specific guidance to offerors whether the first article is a first article sample, a first production
item, or a number of items to be tested. The contracting officer should also include specific
instructions in acquisition documents regarding arrangements for examinations, approval of first
article test results and disposition of first articles. Pre-solicitation documents should provide the
Government with the waiver rights for samples for first article inspection to bidders offering a
previously acquired or tested product. Bidders offering such products, who wish to rely on such
production or test, must furnish evidence with the bid, that prior government approval is
appropriate for the pending contract.

6.4 Conformance inspection. Affordable conformance inspection with confidence varies

depending upon a number of procurement risk factors. Some of these factors include contractor
past performance, government schedules and budget, product material and design maturity,
manufacturing capital equipment and processes applied, the controlled uniformity of those
processes, labor skill and training, and the uniformity of measuring processes and techniques.
During the solicitation, contracting documents should indicate those tests desired from table I and
their designated frequency based on a risk assessment for the procurement.

A.4.2.1 Spore storage. Maintain pure cultures of the test fungi (see table A-I) separately on an
appropriate medium such as potato dextrose agar except that chaetomium globosum shall be
cultured on strips of filter paper overlayed on the surface of mineral salts agar. Prepare mineral
salts agar by dissolving 15.0 g agar in a liter of the mineral salts solution. Do not keep the stock
cultures for more than 4 months at 6 degrees +/- 4 degrees C; after that time, prepare sub-cultures
and use them for the new stocks. Verify the purity of fungus cultures prior to the mold growth
test.

A.4.2.2 Stock cultures preparation. Incubate subcultures used for preparing new stock cultures
or the spore suspension at 30 degrees +/- 1.4 degrees C for 14 to 21 days. Prepare a spore
suspension of each of the five fungi by pouring into one subculture of each fungus, 10 ml of an
aqueous solution containing 0.05 g per liter of a nontoxic wetting agent such as sodium dioctyl
sulfosuccinate or sodium lauryl sulfate.

A.4.2.3 Stock cultures separation. Use a rounded glass rod to gently scrape the surface growth
from the culture of the test organism. Pour the spore charge into a 125 ml capped Erlenmeyer
flask containing 45 ml of water and 50 to 75 solid glass beads, 5 mm diameter. Shake the flask
vigorously to liberate the spores from the fruiting bodies and to break the spore clumps. Filter the
dispersed fungal spore suspension into a flask through a 6 mm layer of glass wool contained in a
glass funnel. This process should remove large mycelial fragments and clumps of agar.

A.4.2.4 Stock cultures solution. Centrifuge the filtered spore suspension and discard the
supernatant liquid. Resuspend the residue in 50 ml of water and centrifuge. Wash the spores
obtained from each of the fungi in this manner three times. Dilute the final washed residue
with mineral-salts solution in such a manner that the resultant spore suspension shall contain
1,000,000 +/- 200,000 spores per as determined with a counting chamber. Repeat this operation
for each organism used in the test.

A.4.2.5 Control item testing. Complete the control tests in A.4.2.5.

A.4.2.5.1 Viability of spore suspension. Prior to preparing the composite spore suspension,
inoculate sterile potato agar plates with 0.2 to 0.3 ml of the spore suspension of each of the

10

MIL-PRF-25567E
APPENDIX A
individual fungal species using separate potato dextrose agar plates for each species. Distribute
the inoculum over the entire surface of the plate. Incubate the inoculated potato dextrose agar
plate at 24 degrees to 31 degrees C for 7 days. After the incubation period, check the fungal
growth. The absense of copious growth of any of the test organisms over the entire surface in
each container will invalidate the results of any tests using these spores.

A.4.2.5.2 Verification of suitability of the chamber environment. Inoculate a known susceptible

substrate along with the test sample to insure that proper conditions are present in the incubation
chamber to promote fungal growth. The controlled substrate shall consist of sterile, 100 percent
cotton, untreated, and bleached white (of flat construction) fabric strips. Prepare a solution
containing the following, then dip the cotton strips into the solution.

Prepared Solution: 10.0 g glycerol

0.1 g potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (KH2PO4)
0.1 g ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3)
0.025 g magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO4 7 H2O)
0.05 g yeast extract
Distilled water to a total volume of 100 ml
HCl or NaOH to adjust the final solution pH to 5.3

After dipping, remove the excess liquid from the strips and hang them to dry before placing them
in the chamber and inoculating them. Within the chamber, place the strips vertically in close
proximity to and bracketing the test item so that the test strips and test items experience the same
test environment. The length of the strips shall be at least the height of the test item. These strips
verify conditions to promote fungal growth in the chamber.

A.4.2.6 Fungus test suspension. Blend equal volumes of the resultant spore suspension to obtain
the final mixed spore suspension. The spore suspension may be prepared fresh. If not freshly
prepared, it should be held at 6 +/- 4 degrees C for not more than 7 days.

A.4.3 Mold growth test. Complete the mold growth testing in A.4.3.

A.4.3.1 Preparation of incubation. Assure that the condition of the leak detection compound
subjected to testing is similar to that as delivered by the manufacturer or customer for use, or as
otherwise specified. Place 150 ml of the compound in a 250 ml beaker in the chamber or cabinet
on suitable fixtures. Hold the test compound in the operating chamber for at least 4 hours
immediately prior to inoculation. Inoculate the test compound and cotton fabric chamber control
items with the mixed fungal spore suspension by spraying it on the control and on the test sample
in the form of a fine mist from an atomizer or nebulizer. Care should be taken to cover all
external and internal surfaces which are exposed during use or maintenance. Replace covers of
the test items loosely. Start incubation immediately following the inoculation.

A.4.3.2 Incubation of the test compound. Incubate the test sample under a daily cycle of
temperature and humidity conditions consisting of 20 hours of a relative humidity of 95 +/- 5
percent and an air temperature of 30 degrees +/- 1 degree C followed by a 4-hour period.

11
 Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com

MIL-PRF-25567E
APPENDIX A
The 4-hour period consists of 2 hours in which conditions of 95 +/- 5 percent relative humidity
and temperature of 25 degrees +/- 1 degree C are maintained and the other 2 hours of the 4-hour
period is used for the transition(s) of temperature and relative humidity. Temperature and
humidity conditions during the transition periods must be as follows: temperature = 24 degrees to
21 degrees C and relative humidity = above 90 percent.

A.4.3.3 Test duration. Repeat the 24-hour daily cycle for the test duration. After 7 days, inspect
the growth on the control cotton strips to assure that the environmental conditions in the chamber
are suitable for growth. For this assurance, at least 90 percent of the part of the surface area of
each test strip located at the level of the test item should be covered by fungi when inspected
visually. If not, repeat the entire test with the required adjustments of the chamber to produce
conditions suitable for growth. Leave the control strips in the chamber for the duration of the
test; note their condition at this time and record it. If the cotton strips show satisfactory fungus
growth after 7 days, continue the test for 72 hours from the time of inoculation. If there is a
decrease in fungal growth on the cotton strips at the end of the test as compared to the 7-day
results, the test is invalid.

A.4.4 Inspection. At the end of the incubation period, inspect the test samples immediately. If
possible, inspect the samples within the chamber. If the inspection is conducted outside of the
chamber and not completed in 8 hours, return the test samples to the test chamber or similar
humid environment for a minimum of 12 hours. There shall not be any mold growth viewed on
the test samples with the leak detection compound. If any mold growth is seen, then the lot will
be immediately rejected.
