MIL-STD-810H
518.2 Acidic Atmosphere
MIL-STD-810H Part Two, Method 518.2
What It Evaluates
Condition the item for at least 2 hours at 35°C before exposure. Use a solution near pH 4.17 and maintain fallout between 1–3 mL/80 cm²/hr; the item normally remains non-operating.
When It Applies
Applies when the product lifecycle, platform, storage, transport, deployment, or operating environment includes credible exposure.
Likely Procedures
Procedure selection requires engineering review of the item lifecycle and contract requirements.
Typical Ranges / Conditioning
Severity, duration, and conditions require engineering tailoring; no generic value is assigned by this tool. Conditioning details require review by qualified engineers and applicable contract requirements.
This tool provides preliminary planning information only. Final MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461, and RTCA DO-160 requirements must be reviewed and tailored by qualified engineers based on the product, lifecycle, platform, environment, and contract requirements.
