MIL-DTL-38359E
4.6.9 Wire resistance test. The resistance of insulated conductor on reels shall be determined at, or
the determined resistance corrected to, +20 ºC and shall be expressed as resistance per 1,000 feet. The
following formula may be used for converting resistance measured at temperatures other than +20 ºC to
resistances at +20 ºC.
254.5R t
R20 =
234.5 + t
R20 = Resistance at +20 ºC.
Where:
Rt = Resistance at temperature (t), in ohms.
t = temperature at which resistance was measured, in degrees centigrade.
4.6.10 Physical properties test. The physical properties shall be tested in accordance with
NEMA WC 71 as follows:
a. Tensile strength (initial and aging).
b. Elongation (initial and aging).
c. Modulus (initial).
4.6.11 High temperature test. The high temperature test shall be conducted in accordance with
MIL-STD-810, method 501, procedure I. There shall be no evidence of permanent set or insulation
deterioration as a result of this test.
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the
contract or order (see 6.2). When actual 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.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not
mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. This specification is being retained as a military detail specification because of
unique Air Force airport lighting requirements for cross-linked electrical power cable having tin coated
conductors. The cable covered by this specification is intended for airport series lighting circuits in direct
burial or use on the ground.
