MIL-STD-810
The MIL-STD-810 is a US technical military standard specified for military equipment, environmental test conditions. This is also stated in the sub-title of the standard, Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory Tests .
The current version of this standard is MIL-STD-810H from January 31, 2019. It replaces version MIL-STD-810G w / Change 1 from April 2014.
Test methods
The standard defines tests for the compatibility of equipment and devices with extreme temperatures and air pressures, solar radiation, moisture, chemicals, acceleration forces and vibrations, e.g. B. at high altitudes and in connection with firearms use. The individual test methods are summarized in individual chapters, for example, MIL-STD-810G includes the following test methods (not a complete list):
| Test method | content | Original name ( English ) |
|---|---|---|
| 500.6 | Low air pressure at high altitudes | Low pressure (altitude) |
| 501.5 | High temperature | High temperature |
| 502.5 | Low temperature | Low temperature |
| 503.5 | Temperature shock | Temperature shock |
| 504.1 | Liquid contamination | Contamination by Fluids |
| 505.5 | Solar radiation | Solar Radiation (Sunshine) |
| 506.5 | rain | Rain |
| 507.5 | humidity | Humidity |
| 508.6 | Fungal attack | fungus |
| 509.5 | Salt spray | Salt Fog |
| 510.5 | Sand and dust | Sand and dust |
| 511.5 | Explosive atmosphere | Explosive atmosphere |
| 512.5 | Immersion | Immersion |
| 513.6 | acceleration | Acceleration |
| 514.6 | Vibrations | vibration |
| 515.6 | Acoustic noise | Acoustic noise |
| 516.6 | Mechanical shock | Shock |
| 517.1 | Fire shock | Pyroshock |
| 518.1 | Corrosive atmosphere | Acidic atmosphere |
| 519.6 | Gunfire shock | Gunfire Shock |
| 520.3 | Temperature, humidity, vibration and low air pressure at high altitudes in combination |
Temperature, Humidity, Vibration, and Altitude |
| 521.3 | Freezing rain | Icing / freezing rain |
| 522.1 | Ballistic shock | Ballistic shock |
In addition, the specification also includes very specific test methods and parameters, such as shock tests and vibrations, which include moving trains, trucks or tanks during off-road travel.
restrictions
As such, the standard does not require equipment manufacturers that the tests defined in it are actually carried out and that the test object must also pass them. This is not regulated in the standard, but in the respective contractual provisions between manufacturers / suppliers and customers.
The reference to the standard or tests according to the standard in manufacturer information or advertising does not mean that the object in question has been tested in accordance with all parts of the standard and has passed these tests. This is especially true when manufacturers of civil equipment advertise tests according to this standard. It is up to the manufacturer which tests and parts of the standard were actually carried out and passed.
