MIL-DTL-17/135E
Elongation, percent minimum: 50.
Tensile strength and elongation: 1,300 psi, 160 percent, minimum. Applicable to M17/135-00005 and
M17/135-00006.
Weight: 16 pounds per 100 feet, max (M17/135-00001 and 00002).
18.5 pounds per 100 feet, max (M17/135-00003 thru 00006).
Watertightness (not applicable to M17/135-00002, M17/135-00004, and M17/135-00006): One end of a
five foot length of completed cable shall be placed in a terminal fitting which will allow water pressure to
be applied directly to the exposed cross-sectional area of the end of the cable. Exposure of the sides of
the cable to water shall be kept to a minimum, and the fitting shall not exert radial compression against
the cable. Unless otherwise approved by the qualifying activity, the sealer used for the packing gland in
the terminal fitting shall be a metal alloy having a maximum melting point of 88°C. The specimen shall be
2
subjected to a water pressure of 25 lbf /in for a period of 6 hours. Any evidence of water leakage shall be
cause for rejection.
Hydrostatic (open end) (not applicable to M17/135-00002, M17/135-00004, and M17/135-00006): A 5-
foot specimen of completed cable shall be fitted into a gland similar to USL 44500B-12. The cable shall
2
be capable of withstanding 1,000 lbf/in applied to the gland end of the specimen for a period of 2 hours.
Any evidence of water leakage shall be cause for rejection.
