Where:
T
= Original thickness as determined in "a".
T1
= Thickness after immersion as determined in "c".
T2
= Thickness after immersion and aeration as determined in "e".
L
= Original length (6 inches)
L1
= Length after immersion as determined in "c".
L2
= Length after immersion and aeration as determined in "e".
4.5.5 Tensile strength and ultimate elongation after decontamination test. The tensile strength
shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D 412 (method A). The cross sectional area of the
specimen shall be calculated using the thickness determined in 4.5.4a. The ultimate elongation shall be
determined in accordance with ASTM D 412 (method A). One specimen shall be cut from each glove
that was tested for decontamination. The specimens shall be cut from the 3 by 6 inch area marked on
the gloves. The long dimension of the specimen shall be parallel to the long dimension of the 3 by 6 inch
area. The specimens shall be cut in such a manner that the ends of the specimen are equidistant from
the adjacent 3-inch long edges of the marked area.
4.5.6 Permanence of marking test. The gloves shall be tested to determine the durability of the
marking as follows:
a. Boil gloves for 2-1/2 to 3 hours in a solution containing 1.25 oz/gal of standard calcium
hypochlorite bleach powder (70% available chlorine).
b. Remove gloves from the bleach solution and soak in fresh water at 70oF for 15 minutes.
Change water and repeat this step two additional times.
c. Hang the gloves and allow them to dry at about 110oF. When the gloves are dry, examine
them for legibility of markings.
PACKAGING
5.
*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
personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain requisite
packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's
packaging activity within the Military Department or Defense Agency, or within the Military
Department's System Command. 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.
