Using a calibrated torque wrench.
Applying a series of weights to the free end of a wrench that is attached to the calibration nut of the thermometer while both the thermometer stem and wrench are in horizontal positions. Weights are increased until the calibration nut turns. The torque that is necessary to turn the calibration nut shall be determined by calculation as being the product of the total of the applied weights and perpendicular distance between the line of force and the axis of rotation.
Sampling for the testing shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-105 and an S-4 inspection level. The rejection number shall be two (2). Any thermometer whose turning torque is not within a 15.0 to 68.0 inch-oz range shall be cause for rejection.
Metric products. Products manufactured to metric dimensions will be considered on an equal basis with those manufactured using inch-pound units, providing they fall within the tolerance specified using conversion tables contained in the latest revision of Federal Standard 376, and all other requirements of this document are met. If a product is manufactured to metric dimensions and those dimensions exceed the tolerances specified in the inch/pound units, a request should be made to the contracting officer to determine if the product is acceptable. The contracting officer has the option of accepting or rejecting the product.
Contractor certification. The contractor shall certify that the product offered meets the salient characteristics of this description and conforms to the producers’ own drawings, specifications, standards, and quality assurance practices. The Government reserves the right to require proof of such conformance prior to first delivery and thereafter as may be otherwise provided for under the provisions of the contract.
