MIL-DTL-29606A
4.7.6 Continuity of coating. Continuity of coating inspection shall be in accordance with
ASTM B286 examination for workmanship of finished uninsulated stranded conductor. Optical
magnification employed during inspection shall be at least 10x and up to 20x to referee suspect
exposed copper locations. A white background shall be used for the inspection. Inspection for
exposed copper shall be performed using stranded conductor material not less than 12 inches in
length.
4.7.6.1 Continuity of coating nickel and tin coated conductors only. For nickel and tin
coated conductors only, follow procedures for sodium polysulfide test in accordance with the
applicable ASTM requirement (ASTM-B965 and B355) with the following exceptions:
NOTE: The ASTM polysulfide test applies to single-end wires "taken before stranding"
(see for example, ASTM-B355). The applicability of the polysulfide test is thus
restricted by the ASTM in recognition of the abrasion to the wire inherent in the
stranding process. The following exceptions and criteria shall be applied when
testing stranded product:
a. Examination of the samples shall be immediately after the solution cycle.
b. Samples shall be immersed into the solutions in the as-stranded condition.
- Unilay constructions shall be tested as the whole conductor.
- Concentric constructions shall be tested as the whole conductor.
- Two members from each layer of rope constructions shall be tested after they have
been carefully removed from the finished rope.
4.7.7 Cross sectional area. The stranded conductor shall be tested according to ASTM-
B263. Use K-values given in table II. If no K-value is given, then use K=0.

PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified
in the contract or order (see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD or in-
house contractor personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to
ascertain packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory
Control Point's packaging activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or within
the military service's system commands. Packaging data retrieval is available from the
managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM
products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
