MIL-DTL-25681E
4.3.2 Packaged lot. A packaged lot is an indefinite number of 209 liter (55 gallon) drums smaller
unit containers of identical size and type filled with a homogeneous mixture of material manufactured in a
single plant run (not exceeding 24 hours) through the same processing equipment with no change in
ingredient materials.
4.4 Sampling.
4.4.1 Sampling for tests. Sampling of a lot for test purposes shall be done in accordance with
ASTM D 4057.
4.5 Classification of tests. All tests are classified as conformance tests.
4.6 Test methods. The color, flash point, and kinematic viscosities at 40°C and 100°C will be
determined on the silicone oil component of the lubricant in accordance with the applicable test method
as listed in table II. Values obtained falling outside the limits stated in table II shall be cause for rejection
of the lot.
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. The lubricant is intended for use on slow-speed sliding surfaces operating at
temperatures up to 400°C and for use as an antiseize compound on threaded parts which operate at
temperatures up to 760°C. This material has not been investigated for use in antifriction bearings.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this specification.
b. Quantity required.
c. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
c. Additional marking requirements mark individual containers as follows: "STIR WELL
IMMEDIATELY BEFORE USING" due to the tendency of this lubricant to settle into two layers.
6.3 International standardization agreements. Certain provisions of this specification are the
subject of international standardization agreements STANAG 1135 and AIR STD 15/9. When
amendment, revision, or cancellation of this specification is proposed, the preparing activity must
coordinate the action with the U.S. National Point of Contact for the international standardization
agreement, as identified in the ASSIST database at https://assist.daps.dla.mil.
6.4 Material Safety Data Sheets. Contracting officers will identify those activities that require
copies of completed Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) prepared in accordance with FED-STD-313.
The pertinent Government mailing addresses for submission of data are listed in FED-STD-313.
6.5 Shelf-life. This specification covers items where the assignment of a Federal shelf-life code
is a consideration. Specific shelf-life requirements should be specified in the contract or purchase order,
and should include, as a minimum, shelf-life code, shelf-life package markings in accordance with MIL-
STD-129 or FED-STD-123, preparation of a material quality storage standard for type II (extendible) shelf-
life items, and a minimum of 85 percent shelf-life remaining at the time of receipt by the Government.
These and other requirements, if necessary, are in DoD 4140.27-M, Shelf-Life Management Manual. The
shelf-life codes are the in Federal Logistics Information System Total Item Record. Additive information
