4.3.9 Support and ownership requirements. Complete each test under 4.3.9.
4.3.9.1 Hazardous materials and compatibility tests. Use one or more of the methods
outlined in 4.3 and 4.3.1 to verify the absence of hazardous materials or hazards to personnel.
4.3.9.2 Storage stability test. The test shall be performed on a 6.8 kg unopened can of
grease that has been dated and labeled "Storage Stability Test. The undisturbed can or pail of the
test grease shall be placed in a thermostatically controlled, dark, convection oven, meeting the
requirements of ASTM E145, located in an area essentially free from vibration, at 38 ±3°C for
180 ±5 days. The can shall be positioned in center of the oven and raised at least 75 mm from
the bottom, to ensure temperature uniformity. At the end of the storage interval, the can of test
grease shall be subjected to the tests of table III except for biodegradation, life performance,
water stability, and low temperature torque. Failure of the grease to meet the requirements of
table I, within tolerances, shall constitute failure of this test (see 4.1.1.1).
4.3.9.3 Color tests. Use one or more of the methods outlined in 4.3 and 4.3.1 to verify
the absence of any dye which could cause discoloration to adjacent surfaces, personnel or

4.3.9.4 Odor tests. Use one or more of the methods outlined in 4.3 and 4.3.1 to verify the
absence of rancid, alcohol, or perfume odor, which could impede application or use of the
grease.
4.3.9.5 Homogeneity tests. Use one or more of the methods outlined in 4.3 and 4.3.1 to
verify the absence of entrapped air and the homogeneous and smooth texture of the grease.

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.
