1. SCOPE
1.1 Scope. This standard provides the requirements for precision cleaning and testing of oxygen or oxygen-
enriched systems and components; oxygen generating plants including nitrogen, hydrogen, and demineralized water
support systems and components; and helium, helium-oxygen, and hydrogen life support systems and components.
Each activity will implement the applicable requirements of this document through a locally prepared and approved
procedure. Activities subject to additional quality assurance requirements such as NAVSEA SS800-AG-MAN-
010/P-9290 or NAVSEA SS521-AA-MAN-010 will obtain procedure approval from the applicable certifying
activity.
1.2 Applicability. This standard is applicable to all surface ships, submarines, and supporting shore base
facilities which contain any of the following:
1.2.1 Oxygen or oxygen-enriched systems and components, including gaseous and liquid oxygen generating
equipment. The cleanliness boundary includes all material wetted by any fluid containing greater than 25 percent by
volume oxygen during normal operations. An exception is the following diver life support equipment: diving
helmets, masks, umbilicals, and items otherwise exempt by NAVSEA which are cleaned in accordance with MIL-
STD-1622, critical applications. For information, compressed air systems directly supporting oxygen generating
equipment are cleaned in accordance with MIL-STD-1622, critical applications.
1.2.2 Hydrogen, nitrogen, and demineralized water systems and components that support gaseous or liquid
oxygen generating equipment.
1.2.2.1 The cleanliness boundary for hydrogen systems supporting oxygen generating equipment encompasses
all wetted material from, and including, the point of interface or interface connection with an oxygen or oxygen-
enriched system or component to the first check valve or normally shut isolation valve. Remaining portions of
hydrogen systems should be cleaned using best commercial practice to remove loose scale, dust, grit, filings, oil, and
grease.
1.2.2.2 The cleanliness boundary for submarine nitrogen systems supporting oxygen generating equipment
encompasses all wetted material from, and including, the point of interface or interface connection with an oxygen
or oxygen-enriched system or component upstream to either:
a. The nitrogen supply flasks, including all piping and components associated with charging when such
supply is dedicated to oxygen generating equipment. Nitrogen piping to the ship demineralized water storage tank is
cleaned in accordance with MIL-STD-1622, general applications.
b. The last check valve or normally shut isolation valve that separates the nitrogen supply flasks from the
oxygen generator when such supply is not dedicated to oxygen generating equipment. Remaining portions of the
nitrogen system are cleaned in accordance with MIL-STD-1622, general applications.
1.2.2.3 The cleanliness boundary for surface ship nitrogen systems includes any portion of the system that can
be used to pressurize or purge the oxygen system, oxygen system components, oxygen-nitrogen producer, and
storage equipment. Remaining portions of the nitrogen systems are cleaned in accordance with MIL-STD-1622,
general applications.
1.2.2.4 The cleanliness boundary for demineralized water systems supporting oxygen generating equipment
encompasses all wetted material from, and including, the point of interface or interface connection with an oxygen
or oxygen-enriched system or component to the ship’s demineralizer.
1.2.3 Helium, helium-oxygen, and hydrogen systems and components that provide life support. The cleanliness
boundary encompasses all wetted material providing life support functions except the following: diving helmets,
masks, umbilicals and items otherwise exempted by NAVSEA which are cleaned in accordance with MIL-STD-
1622, critical applications.
1.2.4 Equipment which comes in contact with or is used to transfer any fluid from its source to a system or
component within any of the boundaries defined in 1.2.1, 1.2.2, and 1.2.3 when such interface is intended to
maintain the cleanliness requirements specified herein.

MIL-STD-1330D(SH)
w/ Change 1
1.2.5 Open ended applications constructed of material that is configured and operated at a pressure that
represents a fire hazard in the presence of an oxygen or oxygen-enriched atmosphere when determined in
accordance with the guidelines of ASTM G63 and ASTM G94. For open-ended piping or configurations
constructed of material and operated in an oxygen or oxygen-enriched atmosphere at a pressure that does not
propagate a flame when determined in accordance with the guidelines of ASTM G63 and ASTM G94, clean in
accordance with MIL-STD-1622 for diver applications; otherwise use best commercial practice to remove loose
scale, dust, grit, filings, oil, and grease. For information, copper, copper-nickel, bronze, brass, and monel will not
propagate a flame in an oxygen or oxygen-enriched atmosphere at pressures up to 7500 pounds per square inch
(lb/in2).

w/ Change 1
3. DEFINITIONS
3.1 Aqueous cleaning solution. An aqueous cleaning solution is a water based cleaner whose constituents are
soluble inorganic compounds such as silicates or phosphates or soluble organic compounds such as non-ionic
surfactant or combinations thereof. Examples of aqueous cleaning solutions include commercial detergents which
generally contain both soluble inorganic and organic compounds and Navy oxygen cleaner (NOC) which contains
only soluble inorganic compounds.
3.2 Blue line. When a cut for a pipe or fitting nears the inner wall, the outer surface turns blue which is
referred to as cutting to the blue line. The blue line results from oxidation caused by the reduced ability of the
thinned pipe or fitting to dissipate heat generated by the power tool cutting the surface.
3.3 Clean. Clean refers to the absence of scale, particulate, oil, and grease contaminants at a level below that
which adversely affects the operation or reliability of the component or system. The process of cleaning should not
affect the form, fit, or function of the item being cleaned.
3.4 Cleaning solvent. A cleaning solvent is any material that exhibits the capability to dissolve other
substances through chemical action and, for the purposes of this document, is 100 percent volatile. Examples
include halogenated solvents such as HCFC-141b which is non-flammable and hydrocarbon solvents such as
isopropyl alcohol (IPA) which is very flammable.
3.5 Cleanliness level. A cleanliness level is an established maximum allowable distribution of contamination
of a given size and quantity in a specified area or volume.
3.6 Clean lint-free cloth. A clean lint-free cloth in accordance with MIL-DTL-24671, or equal, is used for local
cleaning or wiping surfaces to evaluate loss of cleanliness. The cloth should be free of chemicals which could pose
a compatibility, flammability, or toxicity hazard considering the specific application.
3.7 Cleanroom. A cleanroom is a permanent area where a high degree of cleanliness is continuously achieved
by employing varying degrees of control and monitoring of environmental items such as ventilation, filtration,
temperature, humidity, pressure, personnel, clothing, and room maintenance. Refer to 5.1 for cleanroom
requirements.
3.8 Components. Components refer to items such as valves, fittings, gauges, regulators, and repair parts in the
systems.
3.9 Contractor. A contractor is any person not employed by the U.S. Navy performing services on-board ships
or at shore base facilities on components or systems defined by 1.2.
3.10 Controlled area. A controlled area is an area where a high degree of cleanliness is temporarily achieved
and maintained by the use of temporary boundaries, air filtration, and the enforcement of strict controls on personnel
access, operations, and area maintenance. Controlled areas are most often used for in-place maintenance and repair
of shipboard systems. Refer to 5.1 for controlled area requirements.
3.11 Critical applications. Critical applications are systems or components requiring more detailed cleanliness
and packaging requirements than generally specified because of unique operating parameters and environments. In
the past, some saturated diving systems have been classified as critical applications because of the increased toxicity
hazard associated with high partial pressure environments. Unless directed by NAVSEA or the Type Commander,
critical requirements may not be used.
3.12 Dew point. Dew point is the measure of dryness or wetness of a gas. It is defined as the temperature at
which gas becomes saturated with water vapor causing condensation when cooled at constant pressure. Dew point
temperature is measured at atmospheric pressure.
3.13 Final cleaner. A final cleaner is an aqueous cleaning solution or a cleaning solvent used for final flushing
of piping systems or final precision cleaning of components and parts.

MIL-STD-1330D(SH)
w/ Change 1
3.14 Halogenated solvent. A halogenated solvent is any solvent whose chemical structure contains bromine,
chlorine, fluorine, or iodine. Most halogenated solvents are non-flammable and many are very toxic. All NAVSEA
approved halogenated solvents contain fluorine, some also contain chlorine, and none contain bromine or iodine.
3.15 Helium. Helium refers to gaseous helium as specified in 4.7.2.
3.16 Maximum operating pressure. The maximum operating pressure is the highest pressure that can exist in a
system or subsystem under normal (non-casualty) operating conditions. This pressure is determined by such
influences as pressure regulating valve set pressure, maximum pressure at the system source such as compressed gas
bank pressure or sea pressure, and pump or compressor shut-off pressure for closed systems. For constant pressure
systems, such as regulated compressed gas systems, the term Nominal Operating Pressure has been used to designate
the steady state operating condition. Where this type of pressure rating is applied, for the purpose of the
requirements stated herein, it may be substituted as the maximum operating pressure.
3.17 Membrane filter. A membrane filter refers to an absolute rated filter where the filter retains all particles
whose smallest dimension is equal to or greater than the specified rating.
3.18 Nitrogen. Nitrogen refers to gaseous nitrogen as specified in 4.7.3.
3.19 Objective quality evidence. Objective quality evidence is any statement of fact, either quantitative or
qualitative, pertaining to the quality of a product or service based on observations, measurements, or tests which can
be verified. Evidence will be expressed in terms of specific quality requirements or characteristics. These
characteristics are identified in drawings, specifications, and other documents which describe the item, process, or
procedure.
3.20 Organic. Organic refers to any chemical compound containing carbon. For the purposes of this
document, the organic compounds of interest are hydrocarbon compounds containing carbon and hydrogen, and
fluorocarbon compounds containing carbon and fluorine. Hydrocarbon materials such as lubricating oils are very
flammable in oxygen, while fluorocarbon materials such as MIL-PRF-27617 grease demonstrate good compatibility
with oxygen.
3.21 Oxygen clean. Oxygen clean is the verifiable absence of particulate, fiber, oil, grease, and other
contaminants determined through the use of qualitative and quantitative cleanliness measurement techniques. An
oxygen, helium, helium-oxygen, nitrogen, nitrogen-oxygen, or hydrogen piping system or component successfully
cleaned in accordance with this standard is considered oxygen clean.
3.22 Oxygen enriched. Oxygen enriched refers to any fluid containing greater than 25 percent oxygen by
volume in accordance with ASTM G63 and ASTM G94.
3.23 Precision cleaning. Precision cleaning is the act of removing unwanted contaminants to better than visibly
clean. Precision cleaning is accomplished using a controlled and verifiable process with cleaning agents that satisfy
the applicable cleanliness requirements.
3.24 Pre-cleaner. A pre-cleaner is any aqueous cleaning solution or cleaning solvent used to clean parts to
visually clean. Examples include Navy oxygen cleaner (NOC), dissolved tribasic sodium phosphate (TSP),
isopropyl alcohol, and non-ionic detergent (NID) mixed with water or NOC or TSP.
3.25 Sample. Sample is a representative amount of cleaning solvent, cleaning solution, rinse water, or
pressurized gas collected in clean containers at selected locations obtained to verify the performance of the cleaning
process.
3.26 Surfactant. A surfactant is a surface wetting agent which reduces interfacial tension between a liquid and
a solid.
3.27 Validation. Validation is the demonstration of the ability to perform a technique or process with verifiable
results at a regular interval.
3.28 Vendor. A vendor is any person not employed by the U.S. Navy that performs services as specified in this
standard at a facility not owned or operated by the government.

3.29 Water. Water refers to water as specified in 4.2.

3.30 Wetted surface. A wetted surface is any surface that comes in direct contact with the system fluid.
4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
4.1 Oxygen safety precautions. Personnel involved with cleaning and testing systems defined in 1.2 shall be
qualified as specified in 5.14. They shall also be familiar with the applicable safety precautions for cleaning and
testing fluids as specified herein before conducting any work. The removal of organic and particulate contamination
from oxygen and oxygen enriched systems is absolutely necessary to prevent a fire hazard. Failure to thoroughly
clean oxygen systems has resulted in catastrophic fires. Additionally, failure to use approved cleaners has resulted
in the introduction of flammable and toxic contaminants that have resulted in personnel injury. While working with
oxygen clean systems the safety precautions in accordance with NAVSEA S9086-SX-STM-010/CH-550 shall be
observed.
4.2 Water.
4.2.1 Applicability. Three grades of water, A, B, and C, in descending order of purity, are associated with
preparing and diluting cleaning solutions, flushing, rinsing, and testing, and are defined in Table I. Water purity
requirements specified throughout this standard are minimum requirements and do not preclude the use of water of
greater purity.

4.2.2 Disposal. Disposal of water shall be in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
4.2.3 Compatibility. Appendix A gives the compatibility of hot water with various materials. Where
incompatibility exists, process changes such as rinsing with cooler water, shorter rinse durations, or immediate
drying of wet surfaces may need to be considered. Where specific information is lacking, perform compatibility
testing as specified in A.3.1 of Appendix A.
4.3 Aqueous cleaning solutions.
4.3.1 Navy oxygen cleaner (NOC).
4.3.1.1 Applicability. NOC is an aqueous alkaline cleaning solution approved for use as a pre-cleaner or final
cleaner for all compatible piping and components other than liquid oxygen generating plants. It may be used for
liquid oxygen generating plant piping and components provided the aqueous cleaning process specified herein can
be successfully accomplished. NOC shall be in accordance with MIL-DTL-24800.

MIL-STD-1330D(SH)
w/ Change 1
4.3.1.2 Safety precautions. Follow the safety precautions recommended in the vendor’s material safety data
sheet (MSDS) and the following precautions recommended by the Navy Environmental Health Center (NEHC).
a. Skin contact with NOC will result in irritation and chemical burns. Wear impervious protection clothing
constructed of neoprene or other material of equivalent resistance to penetration so as to prevent skin contact. Use
elbow-length gloves (with cuffs) as minimum protection any time open containers of the cleaning agent are handled.
Wash potentially exposed skin areas with soap and water at breaks, and at the conclusion of the operation. Do not
use organic solvents for this purpose. Thoroughly clean protective garments at the conclusion of the operation and
store for reuse. Remove clothing which becomes contaminated as soon as possible and thoroughly clean before
reuse. Seek prompt medical assistance should a rash, chemical burn, or other adverse effect be experienced which
may be related to working with NOC. Do not store or consume food and tobacco in areas where they could be
contaminated with NOC.
b. Eye contact with NOC could result in chemical burns. Wear chemical safety goggles for all operations
where eye contact with NOC could occur. Additionally, use a full-length face shield for any operation where
splashing of the material could occur. In the event of eye contact, personnel should flush their eyes thoroughly with
fresh water for not less than 15 minutes, then seek prompt medical attention. An eye wash system conforming to the
design requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z358.1 shall be in the immediate vicinity
of all operations. Eye wash systems shall provide not less than 15 minutes of water for emergency flushing.
c. Over exposure to mists or vapors from NOC may result in sneezing, coughing, respiratory system irritation,
and possibly chemical burns and subsequent edema in the upper airways. Based on off-gas testing at temperatures
up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit (°F), such a possibility is unlikely, considering the magnitude and frequency of use. In
the event any adverse health effects are experienced, cease operations involving NOC and consult the cognizant
medical department representative for additional guidance.
4.3.1.3 Disposal. Disposal of NOC shall be in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. If
neutralizing NOC, dilute at least 4:1 with water before adding acid to prevent forming a precipitate.
4.3.1.4 Compatibility. Appendix A gives the compatibility of NOC with various materials. Where specific
information is lacking, perform compatibility testing as specified in A.3.1 of Appendix A. NOC used to clean
aluminum or anodized aluminum shall be diluted 50 percent with water as specified in 4.3.1.6.
4.3.1.5 Inspection prior to use. The following inspections shall be performed prior to using NOC.
a. A shake test as specified in 5.13.2.2 and a visual inspection as specified in 5.13.3.2 shall be performed.
NOC which fails either inspection due to the presence of oil shall be rejected and returned to the vendor. NOC
which fails the visual inspection due to the presence of particulate or fiber shall be either filtered with a 5
micrometer nominal or finer filter to remove the suspended particulate or fiber or rejected and returned to the
vendor.
b. Activities verifying cleanliness using the non-volatile residue (NVR) by filtration procedure of Appendix B
shall sample one container or drum of each NOC lot or batch to determine the background NVR. NOC from
different lots or batches may be sampled from storage tanks, such as flushing rigs, to determine the background
NVR. For NOC fresh from a container, drum, or tank which has not been used, the baseline NVR shall be no
greater than 10 milligrams per liter (mg/L). NOC with greater than 10 mg/L NVR shall be rejected and returned to
the vendor or filtered with a 5 micrometer or finer filter and verified less than 10 mg/L NVR prior to use.
c. Government purchases of NOC are origin inspected, origin accepted with a Certificate of Analysis for each
lot maintained by the Defense Logistics Agency. Vendors purchasing NOC should request a Certificate of Analysis
with each delivery. Any NOC returned to a vendor because of a quality deficiency shall be noted (see 6.3).
4.3.1.6 Dilution. NOC shall be diluted as follows:
a. Concentration: NOC can be diluted with water up to 50 percent. NOC shall be diluted 50 percent with
Grade A or B water when cleaning aluminum or anodized aluminum.
b. Water quality: The preferred quality of water is 5 micrometer nominal or finer filtered Grade A water. For
long term use in cleaning equipment, such as an ultrasonic cleaning tank, parts washer, or flushing rig, Grade B
water may be used with a 1 micrometer nominal or finer filter installed. For short term use, such as a few hours,
Grade B water may be used with no filter.
9
MIL-STD-1330D(SH)
w/ Change 1
c. Order for mixing: In order to yield a more stable solution which will extend the life of the cleaner, water
should be added to NOC rather than adding NOC to water.
4.3.1.7 Use of NOC in previously used equipment. For cleaning equipment previously used with other than
NOC, the following actions should be taken to minimize and evaluate for the possibility of the NOC reacting with
the residue left behind.
a. Fill the cleaning equipment with NOC diluted 25 to 50 percent with Grade B water.
b. Operate the cleaning equipment covered for 4 hours at 140 to 160 °F.
c. Visually inspect the NOC for foam and precipitate. Visually inspect the equipment for milky white
deposits. Some white deposits at the fluid-air boundary are acceptable.
d. If precipitate is visible in the NOC, the NOC foams, or milky white deposits are visible on the equipment in
areas continuously wetted with NOC, discard the NOC solution, remove the deposits as specified in 4.3.1.7(e), and
repeat the process.
e. Deposits can be removed by soaking in hot water, or soaking and scrubbing with commercial white vinegar
or a warm (up to 110 °F) 10 to 16 percent citric acid solution followed by a water rinse. A 10 to 16 percent citric
acid solution can be prepared by adding 12 to 20 ounces of powdered citric acid (CAS No. 77-92-9) to one gallon of
water.
4.3.1.8 Use for extended periods. Extended use of NOC should be in covered equipment to minimize
evaporation. NOC can be recycled using filtration, and continuously used or reused, provided the following
conditions are satisfied:
a. A shake test as specified in 5.13.2.2 reveals no excessive foam.
b. A visual inspection as specified in 5.13.3.2 reveals no particulate, fiber, or oil.
c. A hydrocarbon or NVR inspection as specified in 5.13.2 reveals less than 5 parts per million (ppm) above
baseline.
d. An alkalinity test as specified in 5.13.5 indicates a satisfactory result. As the alkalinity of NOC is depleted
in use, the volume of NOC required to obtain the blue end-point specified in 5.13.5 increases. When the alkalinity
test measures 35 to 40 milliliters (mL) of NOC, the NOC is at risk of developing an insoluble precipitate. The NOC
should either be replaced, or a portion of the low alkalinity NOC removed and replaced with fresh NOC to restore
alkalinity. If evaporation concentrates the NOC causing the alkalinity test to measure less than 10 mL of NOC, the
NOC should be diluted with water as specified in 4.3.1.6 to restore the alkalinity to a nominal measured range of 15
to 30 mL of NOC. Do not attempt to adjust the alkalinity of 50 to 100 percent concentrated NOC by adding acid; an
immediate gel or precipitate will develop. Alkalinity of NOC in use or stored in cleaning equipment should be
checked weekly until the alkalinity test measures about 30 mL of NOC. Then, more frequent analysis should be
performed to ensure an insoluble precipitate does not form.
4.3.1.9 Filtration. For long term use in cleaning equipment such as large ultrasonic tanks or parts washers, a
filter sized at about 1-micrometer nominal should be installed. For use in a flushing rig, a 5-micrometer nominal or
finer filter shall be installed, and it is recommended that a filter sized at about 1-micrometer nominal be installed. A
5-micrometer filter prevents introducing significant contamination back into the system. A 1-micrometer filter
allows recycling and extending the use of NOC. It is also recommended that for flushing applications, a strainer be
installed upstream of the filter to remove large debris that can prematurely clog the filter. Filters used for the first
time shall be checked for extractable organic material by recirculating with clean NOC at 140 to 160 °F for not less
than 1 hour and then verifying organic cleanliness as specified in 5.13.2. Checking for extractable organic material
of filters is not required for filters from the same vendor and of the same material that previously tested
satisfactorily. A suitable filter material is thermally bonded, pleated polypropylene containing no plasticizer or
adhesive. The major advantage of disposable polypropylene filter cartridges is ease of use. Cleaning stainless steel
reusable filters can be difficult and time consuming. The large soil holding capacity of disposable filter cartridges
can often balance the cost of using smaller soil holding capacity stainless steel filters requiring frequent cleaning.
Filter housings should be configured with a vent on the top of the housing to allow removing oil that has separated
from the NOC. Verify with the manufacturer that the temperature, pressure, and flow ratings of any filters are
adequate for the intended application. Disposal of used filters or separated oil shall be in accordance with local,
state, and federal regulations.

w/ Change 1
4.3.1.10 Stowage. NOC should be stored in covered containers to minimize evaporative losses. Stowage of
heated NOC for several days should only be in corrosion resistant metal, Teflon, or Teflon lined glass containers.
Long term stowage of heated NOC in plastic (other than Teflon), rubber, or glass containers will result in cleaner
degradation. Unheated NOC may be stowed in plastic or plastic lined containers provided the container has been
checked for extractable organic material. This is accomplished by filling the container with NOC for not less than
10 days and verifying organic cleanliness as specified in 5.13.2. Checking for extractable organic material of
containers is not required for containers from the same vendor and of the same material that previously tested
satisfactorily. Experience indicates that NOC can be successfully stored in aged uncolored or clear high density
polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene plastic containers. NOC can also be stored in steel containers having an
unplasticized low density polyethylene (LDPE) liner which is not adhesively bonded to the steel container similar to
A-A-58020. Stowage of NOC in colored plastic containers may contaminate the cleaner and adversely affect the
NVR analysis results. NOC allowed to dry on glass will result in a hard insoluble residue. Wide mouth glass
sample bottles with external safety coatings and Teflon lined caps are acceptable, as are sampling containers
manufactured from Teflon, Teflon lined glass, Teflon lined plastic, or stainless steel. Bulk shipboard stowage of
NOC shall be in accordance with NAVSEA S9086-WK-STM-010/CH-670 for alkalies.
4.3.2 Tribasic sodium phosphate (TSP).
4.3.2.1 Applicability. TSP is a solid crystalline material mixed with water to prepare an aqueous alkaline
cleaning solution approved for use as a pre-cleaner or final cleaner for all compatible piping and components other
than liquid oxygen generating plants. It may be used for liquid oxygen generating plant piping and components
provided the aqueous cleaning process specified herein can be successfully accomplished. TSP shall be in
accordance with O-S-642, Type I or II, or equal. Type II is recommended because it is less susceptible to
precipitation.
sheet and the following:
a. TSP is a solid, crystalline material which has a caustic action on skin, eyes, and mucous membranes.
Repeated or prolonged contact with the solid material or its solution shall be avoided.
b. Skin contact with TSP will result in irritation of the skin, including redness and burning of the skin, and
other skin damage. Wear impervious protection clothing (gloves, aprons or coveralls, boots) constructed of
neoprene or other material of equivalent resistance to penetration so as to prevent skin contact. If skin contact
occurs, exposed areas shall be washed with large amounts of fresh water. Remove clothing which becomes
contaminated as soon as possible and launder before reuse. If skin is damaged, seek immediate medical attention. If
skin is not damaged and symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If irritating dust or solution mist is present,
approved respirators shall be worn to avoid inhalation.
c. Eye contact with TSP could result in permanent eye injury, including injury of the cornea causing
blindness. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness, and swelling of eyes. Wear chemical safety goggles for all
operations where eye contact with TSP could occur. Additionally, use a full-length face shield for any operation
where splashing of the material could occur. In the event of eye contact, personnel should flush their eyes
thoroughly with fresh water for not less than 15 minutes, then seek prompt medical attention. An eye wash system
conforming to the design requirements of the ANSI Z358.1 shall be in the immediate vicinity of all operations. Eye
wash systems shall provide not less than 15 minutes of water for emergency flushing.
d. In the event any adverse health effects are experienced, cease operations involving TSP and consult the
cognizant medical department representative for additional guidance.
4.3.2.3 Disposal. Disposal of TSP shall be in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
4.3.2.4 Compatibility. Appendix A gives the compatibility of TSP with various materials. Where specific
information is lacking, perform compatibility testing as specified in A.3.1 of Appendix A.
4.3.2.5 Solution preparation. Prepare the TSP cleaning solution by dissolving 2 pounds of Type I or 4.5 pounds
of Type II TSP with 5 gallons of Grade B water at 160 to 180 °F. In order to prevent a violent reaction and to more
completely mix the TSP, add the TSP to the water; do not add water to the TSP. The solution shall be circulated
until the TSP is dissolved prior to exposing the solution to a system or component.
11
MIL-STD-1330D(SH)
w/ Change 1
4.3.2.6 Stowage. If a TSP stowage tank is not large enough, do not mix a solution stronger than as specified in
4.3.2.5 and attempt to dilute it in the piping system. Failure to maintain the temperature of a solution stronger than
as specified in 4.3.2.5 at 160 to 180 °F can result in the TSP precipitating and developing a harden mass. This
hardened mass is difficult, if not impossible, to remove. The preferred stowage tank material is stainless steel. Bulk
shipboard stowage of TSP shall be in accordance with NAVSEA S9086-WK-STM-010/CH-670 for alkalies.
4.3.3 Non-ionic detergent (NID).
4.3.3.1 Applicability. NID is a concentrated non-ionic hydrocarbon surfactant that is mixed with water, NOC,
or TSP solutions to prepare an aqueous detergent cleaning solution acceptable for use as a pre-cleaner. NID shall be
in accordance with MIL-D-16791, Type I, or commercial equivalent, such as Triton X-100.
sheet (MSDS). In the event any adverse health effects are experienced, cease operations involving NID and consult
the cognizant medical department representative for additional guidance.
4.3.3.3 Disposal. Disposal of NID shall be in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
4.3.3.4 Compatibility. Appendix A gives the compatibility of NID solutions with various materials. The
compatibility of solutions of NID with NOC or TSP shall refer to the respective compatibility tables for NOC or
TSP specified in Appendix A. If necessary, perform compatibility testing as specified in A.3.1 of Appendix A.
4.3.3.5 Solution preparation. Prepare NID solution by adding 0.1 to 0.5 ounces of NID to each gallon of water.
Prepare NOC and NID solution by adding 0.1 to 0.5 ounces of NID to each gallon of NOC diluted 50 percent with
water. Prepare TSP and NID solutions by adding 0.1 to 0.5 ounces of NID to each gallon of water containing 8 to
12 ounces of TSP. NID solutions shall be used at temperatures not greater than 140 °F. At temperatures greater
than 140 °F, the solubility of NID will decrease leading to possible precipitation of NID.
4.4 Cleaning solvents.
4.4.1 NAVSEA approved halogenated solvents.
4.4.1.1 Applicability. A NAVSEA approved halogenated solvent, as specified in Appendix E, shall be used as
a final cleaner for instruments as specified in 5.4, for liquid oxygen generating plants and plant piping as specified in
5.8, and for field wipe as specified in 5.10.1.1 and 5.12.4. Use of a NAVSEA approved halogenated solvent for any
other application requires local engineering, environmental, and industrial hygiene approval.
4.4.1.2 Safety precautions. For any NAVSEA approved halogenated solvent, follow the safety precautions
recommended in the vendor’s material safety data sheet and the following:
a. At least two people shall be present at all times while solvent is being used. Do not leave the area
unattended while cleaning is in progress.
b. When a halogenated solvent is being transferred by hose or pipe from a remote location, communication
shall be established between the pumping station and the space involved.
c. To permit escape in the event of an accidental spill, a self-contained breathing device shall be immediately
available to each person in any space where operations involving a halogenated solvent are taking place or occupied
spaces where leaks may occur while systems containing halogenated solvents are being cleaned, tested, serviced, or
repaired. Each person shall have received instruction and practice in the use of the particular self-contained
breathing device to be used. When a spill occurs, a high concentration of solvent vapor may rapidly fill the space
and dilute the air in the space. Breathing this diluted, contaminated air can result in rapid (10 to 15 seconds) loss of
consciousness caused by oxygen being washed from the lungs. It is therefore necessary to stop breathing until the
self-contained breathing device has been put on and is supplying air. The Navy “Emergency Escape Breathing
Device” (EEBD) may be used for emergency escape.
12
MIL-STD-1330D(SH)
w/ Change 1
d. All hot work in the space shall be suspended before introducing the solvent into the system. An exception
is that during overhaul in a shipyard, hot work may be performed on board a ship while systems are being flushed
(not pressure tested) with halogenated solvents if each operation is authorized by a gas free engineer. Personnel
shall be instructed to leave the area immediately if anyone experiences any irritation of the eyes, nose, or throat.
During specially authorized hot work, self-contained breathing devices for emergency escape are not required in
spaces where all lines being flushed contain only welded joints (no flanges, valves, or other fittings having
mechanical joints). The following caution sign shall also be displayed at the entrance to all work spaces:
WARNING
HALOGENATED SOLVENT OPERATION; DO NOT ENTER UNOCCUPIED SPACE WITHOUT FIRST

TESTING FOR SOLVENT; NO HOT WORK OR OPEN FLAMES ALLOWED IN THIS SPACE EXCEPT
WHEN AUTHORIZED BY A GAS FREE ENGINEER; LEAVE SPACE IMMEDIATELY IF ANYONE
NOTICES ANY EYE, NOSE, OR THROAT IRRITATION.
e. Carefully check the system for leaks before pumping solvent through the system (see 5.8.3.2).
f. Chemical safety goggles shall be worn where eye contact is possible. A full-length face shield shall be
worn over chemical safety goggles for any operation where splashing of the solvent may be a problem. In the event
of eye contact, personnel should flush their eyes thoroughly with fresh water for not less than 15 minutes, then seek
prompt medical attention. An eye wash system conforming to the design requirements of the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) Z358.1 shall be in the immediate vicinity of all operations. Eye wash systems shall
provide not less than 15 minutes of water for emergency flushing.
g. Repeated contact with the skin may cause cracking and irritation. Wear solvent resistant rubber gloves if
contact with the hands cannot otherwise be prevented. Clothing that becomes saturated with solvent should be
removed at once.
h. The atmosphere in the space where the solvent is used shall be continuously monitored. An alarm shall be
set on the instrument which will be activated when the solvent reaches its recommended exposure criteria. The
concentration of the solvent shall not be allowed to exceed the recommended exposure criteria during a normal
working day. If the alarm sounds, immediately put on the EEBD and promptly leave the space. Anyone re-entering
the space should wear self-contained breathing apparatus operated in a pressure-demand mode.
i. An industrial hygienist, gas-free engineer, gas-free person, or other designated individual shall verify that
ventilation in the space is adequate to keep the concentration of the solvent below the recommended exposure
criteria during anticipated operations, excluding accidents or spills. If necessary use portable blowers. Exhaust
ventilation is preferable to blowing air into the space. Solvent vapors should be captured as close as possible to the
point of generation and discharged outside of the area in a manner that precludes recirculation and exposure to other
personnel.
j. In the event any adverse health effects are experienced, cease operations involving halogenated solvents
and consult the cognizant medical department representative for additional guidance. Should someone be overcome
in a space which lacks oxygen or because of the presence of a high solvent vapor concentration, the person should be
removed immediately and given artificial respiration if necessary.

placed in an oven or heated to ensure all solvent is volatilized and removed before assembly, test, and operation. Air
samples as specified in 5.9.3 are required to confirm removal of all solvent.
4.4.1.3 Disposal. Disposal of NAVSEA approved halogenated solvents shall be in accordance with local, state,
and federal regulations. Used or contaminated halogenated solvent should be reclaimed for use by distillation or
other appropriate method and inspected as specified in applicable specifications (see 6.3).
4.4.1.4 Compatibility. Appendix E gives the compatibility of NAVSEA approved halogenated solvents with
various non-metallic materials. Where specific information with respect to compatibility is lacking, perform
compatibility testing as specified in A.3.1 of Appendix A.
4.4.1.5 Use of NAVSEA approved halogenated solvents. Follow the instructions provided by the vendor and
as directed herein.
4.4.1.6 Water previously used in systems. Many halogenated solvents will react with water forming corrosive
acids. Systems previously known or believed to contain water or aqueous cleaning solutions shall be purged with
nitrogen as specified in 4.7.3. An outlet dew point of minus 40 °F shall be obtained prior to introducing a
halogenated solvent.
4.4.2 Isopropyl alcohol.
4.4.2.1 Applicability. Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is an approved cleaning solvent for use only as a pre-cleaner for
compatible materials. IPA shall not be used as a pre-cleaner for Teflon which will be wetted by an oxygen-enriched
fluid. IPA should be in accordance with TT-I-735 or equal. IPA is soluble in water and commercial grades can have
as much as 30 percent water.
sheet and the following:
a. IPA is a volatile hydrocarbon solvent with a boiling point of about 180 °F. IPA is extremely flammable
having a flash point of 56 °F. IPA vapors are toxic having a recommended 8-hour time weighted average exposure
criteria of 400 ppm. Ingestion of IPA will cause burning of the gastrointestinal tract, nausea, vomiting, bleeding,
central nervous system (CNS) depression, hemolysis, and pulmonary damage. Ingestion of as little as 10 mL may
cause serious injury, while ingestion of 240 mL can be fatal.
b. An industrial hygienist, gas-free engineer, gas-free person, or other designated individual shall verify that
ventilation in the space is adequate to keep the concentration of the solvent below the recommended exposure
criteria during anticipated operations, excluding accidents or spills. Use caution when ventilating IPA vapors since
the vapors are flammable. Explosion-proof equipment may be necessary.
c. IPA is absorbed by non-metallic material, such as Teflon, and unless carefully dried may off-gas flammable
and toxic material. Commercial grades of IPA, including TT-I-735, will leave a residue that may be flammable in
an oxygen enriched atmosphere.
d. In the event any adverse health effects are experienced, cease operations involving IPA and consult the
cognizant medical department representative for additional guidance.
4.4.2.3 Disposal. Disposal of isopropyl alcohol shall be in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
4.4.2.4 Compatibility. Where specific information with respect to compatibility is lacking, perform
compatibility testing as specified in A.3.1 of Appendix A.
4.5 Other cleaners.
4.5.1 Other pre-cleaners. Any compatible aqueous cleaning solution or cleaning solvent may be used as a pre-
cleaner with local engineering and environmental approval. Directions for use, safety precautions, disposal, and
compatibility are the responsibility of the approving activity. For all Naval activities, review by the cognizant
medical department or industrial hygienist shall be obtained prior to locally approving the use of any aqueous
cleaning solution or cleaning solvent other than those specified in 4.3 or 4.4.

compositions shall be used as a final cleaner. Other than the NAVSEA approved halogenated solvents, approval
shall be obtained prior to using any other cleaning solvent as a final cleaner (see 6.3). Activities interested in
obtaining approval of other final cleaning solvents or processes shall obtain direction (see 6.3).
4.6 Incompressible test fluids.

4.6.1 Safety precautions. An incompressible fluid, either water or NAVSEA approved halogenated solvent,
shall be used to hydrostatically test systems or components. Incompressible test fluids shall be used at room
temperature. Over- pressure protection shall be used when testing with an incompressible fluid. Incompressible
fluids can easily generate very high pressures if heated and not vented. Any use of a NAVSEA approved
halogenated solvent shall be as specified in 4.4. Unless otherwise specified, testing with incompressible fluids shall
be in accordance with NAVSEA S9086-RK-STM-010/CH-505.
4.6.2 Water. Grade B water shall be the preferred hydrostatic test fluid for any system or component that can
be cleaned with an aqueous cleaning solution. For oxygen clean systems or components, Grade B water filtered to
10 micrometers nominal, or finer, shall be used to prevent contamination. Grade A water filtered to 10 micrometers
nominal, or finer, shall be used to tightness test the demineralized water system.
4.6.3 Cleaning solvent. A NAVSEA approved halogenated solvent shall be the preferred hydrostatic test fluid
for any system or component that is final cleaned with a cleaning solvent. For oxygen clean systems or components,
a NAVSEA approved halogenated solvent filtered to 10 micrometers nominal, or finer, and having a hydrocarbon or
NVR level less than 5 ppm, determined as specified in 5.13.2, shall be used to prevent contamination.
4.7 Compressible test fluids.
4.7.1 Safety precautions. Inert gases, such as argon, helium, and nitrogen although not toxic, will not support
human respiration and can cause asphyxiation. Accumulation of these gases in small or closed spaces can reduce the
oxygen concentration below the normal level of 20 to 22 percent. Ensure adequate ventilation is provided to
maintain the oxygen levels within normal levels. If doubt exists, an oxygen monitor with alarm set at 19.5 percent
shall be used to monitor the area (see 6.4). Any use of oxygen shall be as specified in 4.1. Unless otherwise
specified, testing with a gas shall be in accordance with NAVSEA S9086-RK-STM-010/CH-505.
4.7.2 Helium. Helium shall be the preferred test gas for helium and helium-oxygen components and systems
when performing tightness tests. Helium or nitrogen are the preferred purge gases for all applications. Helium shall
be in accordance with MIL-PRF-27407, Type I, Grade B. Helium shall be filtered to 10 micrometers nominal or
less. Helium may be used in place of nitrogen for tightness testing with local engineering approval. However, note
that helium may leak past mechanical joints or seats so that systems that are tight with nitrogen may demonstrate
leakage when tested with helium. If residual helium in a system will present a problem, it shall be purged with the
appropriate gas as required.
4.7.3 Nitrogen. Nitrogen shall be the preferred drying gas for all applications and test gas for hydrogen,
oxygen, and nitrogen systems and components when performing tightness tests. Nitrogen or helium are the
preferred purge gases for all applications. Nitrogen shall meet, by vendor or laboratory statement of conformance,
the requirements of A-A-59155, Grade A or B, or MIL-PRF-27401, Type I, Grade B or C, or CGA G-10.1, Grade L
or M. Nitrogen shall be filtered to 10 micrometers nominal or less. If residual nitrogen in a system will present a
problem, it shall be purged with the appropriate gas as required.
4.7.4 Oxygen. Oxygen shall only be used in a system or component specifically designed and cleaned for
oxygen service. When effected joints can be continuously monitored for leakage, oxygen may be used for tightness
testing with local engineering approval. No other use of oxygen for tightness testing shall be permitted.
4.7.5 Argon. When argon is specified to support welding, it is an acceptable purge gas. Argon shall meet, by
vendor or laboratory statement of conformance, the requirements of MIL-PRF-27415, Type I, Grade A. Argon shall
be filtered to 10 micrometers nominal or less. If residual argon in a system will present a problem, it shall be purged
with the appropriate gas as required.

4.8 Cleaning silver-brazed piping. For systems with new silver-brazed joints, residual silver-brazing flux shall
be prevented or removed by one of the following procedures:
a. Systems cleaned with a NAVSEA approved halogenated solvent can either be brazed using the low flux
procedure in accordance with NAVSEA S9086-CH-STM-010/CH-074, Volume 1, or the joint can be locally cleaned
to remove the brazing flux. Halogenated solvents are not effective in removing brazing flux and systems cleaned
with halogenated solvents can not be soaked or flushed with water to remove residual flux due to difficulties in
drying the system.
b. For systems that will be cleaned with a NOC or TSP aqueous oxygen cleaning process, residual brazing
flux can be removed in accordance with NAVSEA 0900-LP-001-7000 prior to cleaning, or residual brazing flux can
be removed with the aqueous oxygen cleaning process. In either case, the brazing flux shall be removed prior to the
hydrostatic test. When using an aqueous oxygen cleaning process to remove brazing flux from copper tubing, NOC
is preferred because it does not discolor copper like TSP.
c. For systems that will be cleaned with water such as the boundary defined by 1.2.2.4, remove residual
brazing flux in accordance with NAVSEA 0900-LP-001-7000, and then clean as specified herein.
4.9 Lubricants. Lubricants shall be oxygen compatible in accordance with NAVSEA S9086-H7-STM-010/CH-
262 (see 6.3). During reassembly, lubricants shall be used sparingly. Direct contact of a lubricant with an oxygen or
oxygen enriched atmosphere should be avoided. Excessive quantities of lubricant can trap particulate and other
contaminants developing a potential fire hazard. Avoid the use of fluorinated lubricants with aluminum and
magnesium under conditions of large shear such as threaded connections. Ignition of fluorinated lubricants has
occurred in these applications.

system and filter as specified in 4.3.1.9. The tank shall have a generator frequency of at least 25 kHz and a
generator power per radiated surface of at least 3 watts/in2. The power per radiated surface area can be determined
by dividing the total generator power by the surface area of tank bottom or side where the generator transducers are
located. For example, a tank of dimensions 12 inches by 12 inches by 11 inches deep with a 600 watt transducer
mounted on the bottom has a power of 4.2 watts/in2, or
A parts washer of sufficient size to completely contain the component being cleaned. The parts washer shall
completely immerse the component in the cleaning agent and shall direct cleaning agent across or through the
component at a fluid velocity of not less than 3 feet per second (ft/sec). The parts washer shall be heated to 160 °F
for NOC or 180 °F for TSP. Parts washers using NOC should have a recirculating pump and filter selected as
specified in 4.3.1.9.

cleanroom as follows:
a. Each component shall be pre-cleaned using a compatible pre-cleaner and then rinsed with water until all
visible soil, particulate, and cleaning agent is removed. Components shall be disassembled to achieve maximum
cleanliness. Components which are visibly clean may eliminate the pre-clean step and proceed directly to the final
clean, verification, and rinse step as specified in 5.2.5.
b. Rinsing of corrosion resistant metals such as stainless steel, nickel-copper (monel), and copper-nickel may
use Grade C water provided temperatures are less than 140 °F. At higher temperatures, or where municipal water
supplies leave undesirable deposits, Grade B water shall be used.
c. When using multiple pre-cleaners, rinse between each different pre-cleaner application to prevent any
harmful reaction which may occur when different cleaning agents are combined.
d. When removing difficult soils such as heavy waterproof greases, silicone greases, and fluorinated greases,
most pre-cleaners will have limited effectiveness if used without agitation in a soak or ultrasonic tank. Hand
scrubbing is often the best alternative.
e. Components shall be dried if the delay between completion of pre-cleaning and start of final cleaning could
result in the formation of rust or other oxides. Otherwise, no specific drying step is required prior to final cleaning.
5.2.5 Final clean, verification, and rinse. Final cleaning, verification, and rinsing shall be accomplished as
follows:
a. Fully immerse components in an ultrasonic tank or parts washer filled with NOC at 140 to 160 °F or TSP at
160 to 180 °F.
b. Energize the ultrasonic tank or parts washer for 5 to 15 minutes. For components such as O-rings and valve
seats, limit exposure to a maximum of 10 minutes.
c. Obtain a 500 to 600 mL sample of the used NOC or TSP in a 1-liter container and verify organic
cleanliness as specified in 5.13.2. If any analysis fails, replace the final cleaner and repeat the final clean,
verification, and rinse process. Do not wait for the results of 5.13.2 before proceeding to rinsing as specified in
5.2.5(d). When cleaning large quantities of parts on a regular basis or when cleaning with an automated process,
statistical process control can be implemented (see 6.3). Statistical process control could entail, for instance,
sampling every fourth batch. If the fourth batch fails, the previous three batches also fail and require recleaning.
d. Remove the component(s) from the ultrasonic tank or parts washer and immediately rinse with Grade B
water in an ultrasonic tank, batch tank, or flowing water. The rinse water shall be not less than 110 °F for NOC and
120 °F for TSP. Continue rinsing until the effluent rinse water pH measured as specified in 5.13.4.2 is 8.0 or less,
but rinse for not less than 30 seconds. The preferred rinse process consists of two rinses using an ultrasonic or batch
tank as the first rinse followed by a batch tank or flowing water as the second rinse.

hygrometer capable of detecting a dew point of minus 40 °F (128 ppm H2O).
5.3.3 Clean, verification, and rinse. Cleaning, verification, and rinsing should be accomplished in a controlled
area with the flasks positioned vertically to facilitate drainage as follows:
a. Flasks final cleaned with a fill and recirculate process as specified in 5.3.3.(b) or 5.3.3.(c) shall be pre-
cleaned as specified in 5.2.4 using a compatible pre-cleaner and then rinsed with water until all visible oil, grease,
ink, dye, and cleaning agent is removed. Flasks final cleaned with a spray process as specified in 5.3.3.(b) or
5.3.3.(c), or flasks with no visual evidence of oil, grease, ink, or dye may eliminate the pre-clean step and proceed
directly to final clean.
b. If final cleaning flask interior surfaces with NOC, apply NOC at not less than 120 °F for a time sufficient to
ensure all wetted surfaces are in contact with the cleaner for not less than 10 minutes if using a spray process or at
150 to 170 °F for not less than 30 minutes if using a fill and recirculate process. Use of sprayers with high flow and
low pressure or low flow and high pressure are recommended.
c. If final cleaning flask interior surfaces with TSP, apply TSP at 160 to 180 °F for a time sufficient to ensure
all wetted surfaces are in contact with the cleaner for not less than 10 minutes if using a spray process or not less
than 30 minutes if using a fill and recirculate process. Use of sprayers with high flow and low pressure or low flow
and high pressure are recommended. When using TSP, the flask shall be preheated by circulating hot Grade B water
through the flask. In order to prevent precipitation of TSP, the TSP shall not be allowed to cool or remain
uncirculated prior to rinsing as specified in 5.3.3(e).
d. Obtain a 500 to 600 mL sample of the used NOC or TSP in a 1-liter container and verify organic
cleanliness as specified in 5.13.2. If any analysis fails, replace the cleaner and repeat the clean, verification, and
rinse process. Do not wait for the results of 5.13.2 before proceeding to rinsing as specified in 5.3.3(e).

e. After flushing with NOC or TSP, immediately rinse the flask with Grade B water. For corrosion resistant
flasks, Grade C water may be used followed by a Grade B water rinse. The water temperature shall be adequate to
remove the cleaning agent. Continue rinsing until the effluent rinse water pH measured as specified in 5.13.4.2 is
not greater than 8.0. Do not dry the flask between cleaning and rinsing.
f. Recirculate or spray Grade B water through the flask for not less than 5 minutes. The water temperature
does not need to be elevated. Obtain a sample of the rinse effluent and verify particulate cleanliness as specified in
5.13.3. If the particulate analysis of 5.13.3 fails, repeat the rinse step.
5.3.4 Drying. Drying after exposure of a flask to water or moist gas, such as ambient air, shall be accomplished
as follows:
a. Dry the flask as quickly as possible with nitrogen until a minus 20 °F dew point is reached. Nitrogen
preheaters, strip heaters, or vacuum pumps have been successfully used. Appropriate precautions shall be taken to
prevent damaging the flask or support piping and equipment from excessive heat.
b. While maintaining cleanliness as specified in 5.10, perform a visual inspection on the internal flask surfaces
as specified in 5.13.1.2 and 5.13.1.3. Flask surfaces with evidence of oil, grease, ink, dye, particulate, or fibers shall
be recleaned. Flask surfaces with evidence of corrosion shall be blasted or tumbled as specified in 5.3.5.3.
c. While maintaining cleanliness as specified in 5.10, install end fittings and seal weld, if required, in
accordance with the applicable specification. Steel flasks shall be evacuated to 20 inches or less of mercury or
purged with nitrogen to remove moist air, and then pressurized to 5 to 15 lb/in2 with nitrogen.
5.3.5 In-service interior inspection. When interior inspections of in-service flasks are required for
recertification, the interior surfaces shall be inspected for evidence of corrosion, loose scale, particulate, grit, filings,
paint, oil, and grease as specified in 5.13.1.2 and 5.13.1.3. Interior surfaces shall also be inspected and the outside
surface of the flask marked to indicate the location of pits, cuts, burns, defects, and so forth. Pits, gouges, burns, arc
strikes, and other surface defects shall be treated in accordance with NAVSEA S9086-SY-STM-010/CH-551, CGA
C-6.1, or CGA C-6.2. Steel flasks shall be evacuated to 20 inches or less of mercury or purged with nitrogen to
remove moist air, and then pressurized to 5 to 15 lb/in2 with nitrogen immediately after the internal inspection if
satisfactory, or corrective action of 5.3.5.1 to 5.3.5.4 if unsatisfactory. Based on the interior inspection, flasks shall
be classified in accordance with the following criteria:
a. Satisfactory: Not more than 10 percent of the internal surface has evidence of corrosion or particulate, and
no evidence of loose scale, filings, paint, oil, or grease on the internal surface.
b. Unsatisfactory: More than 10 percent of the internal surface has evidence of corrosion or particulate, or
any evidence of loose scale, filings, paint, oil, or grease on the internal surface.
5.3.5.1 Flasks classified as unsatisfactory because of oil and grease shall be cleaned as specified in 5.3.3.
5.3.5.2 Flasks classified as unsatisfactory because of particulate or grit shall be flushed as specified in 5.3.3(f)
or vacuumed until a satisfactory interior surface as specified in 5.3.5(a) is obtained.
5.3.5.3 Steel flask surfaces classified as unsatisfactory because of corrosion and loose scale shall either be

5.4 Cleaning and calibration of instruments and gauges. The requirements for cleaning instruments and gauges,
including flowmeters and dead-end pressure switches and transducers, within the boundaries defined in 1.2 shall be
in accordance with NAVSEA ST700-F1-PRO-010 (see 6.3) using a NAVSEA approved halogenated solvent.
Instruments and gauges should be calibrated in place by a comparative calibration procedure in accordance with
NAVSEA 0987-LP-022-3010.
5.5 Aqueous system cleaning process.
5.5.1 Applicability. The aqueous system cleaning process is applicable to all compatible systems other than
liquid oxygen generating plants. It may be used for liquid oxygen generating plant piping provided the aqueous
system cleaning process can be successfully accomplished. Flushing of ships service demineralized water system
piping shall be as specified in 5.7.
a. A supply of NOC or TSP as specified in 4.3 in a flushing rig as specified in 5.5.2(d).
b. A supply of rinse water in a flushing rig as specified in 5.5.2(d).
c. A supply of nitrogen.
d. A flushing rig consisting of tanks, pumps, piping, measuring devices for pressure, temperature, and flow,
hoses, filters, and strainers. All items shall be compatible with the cleaner and attain the pressure, temperature, flow
rates, and filtering required by this standard. Non-metallic material, other than seats, seals, and Teflon, wetted by
the cleaning solution shall be verified free of extractable organic material as specified in 4.3.1.9.
e. Equipment to perform the applicable analyses as specified in 5.13. This includes clean 1-liter containers to
obtain the required samples.
f. A dew point indicator equal to the Ondyne Series 1400 Dewpoint Indicator or the MCM Dewluxe Model
hygrometer capable of detecting a dew point of minus 40 °F (128 ppm H2O).
5.5.3 System preparation.
5.5.3.1 If shipboard conditions prevent flushing or testing a system as a single unit, the system may be divided
into sections and flushed accordingly. System sections may be flushed as required to accommodate items such as
interference problems and ship’s schedule. Precautions shall be taken to ensure that portions of the system which
have been certified oxygen clean are not flushed with contaminated cleaning agent. Local engineering shall review
the flushing paths or line-ups to ensure the system has been flushed and sampled.
5.5.3.2 The following items shall be accomplished to prepare a system for flushing:
a. Repairs to the piping system shall be completed before flushing is started.
b. Valves, valve internals, pressure regulators, filter elements, or other mechanically jointed components that
will interfere with the flow of the cleaning agent should be removed and flush plugs, spools, jumpers, and blanks
shall be installed. Where jumpers are used, their inside diameter should be not less than the piping they are
bypassing. Seal welded regulators may be left in place if the high pressure chambers are disassembled and the
nozzles removed.
c. Items having incompatible material that can be damaged during flushing shall be removed.
d. Components such as instruments which are not free draining shall be removed or isolated if appropriately
configured. Cleanliness of certified oxygen clean instruments shall be maintained as specified in 5.10.
e. Flow restrictors, if installed in the supply nipple upstream of the oxygen regulators, shall also be removed.
f. Flushing rig, including temporary piping, components, and flush plugs required for system flushing, shall
be pressure tested and cleaned to remove loose scale, dust, grit, filings, oil, and grease.

cartridges installed, after the flush, each cartridge shall be removed and cleaned as specified in 5.2.
23
MIL-STD-1330D(SH)
w/ Change 1
5.5.3.4 Large in-line volumes that will not support minimum flushing velocities should be individually cleaned
and bypassed during the final flush if possible. The concern is that NOC and TSP final cleaners remove soil by
displacement. In areas of low flow, suspended oil can separate from NOC or TSP and collect. If the volume cannot
be bypassed, cannot be inspected and locally cleaned as specified in 5.12.4, and will collect separated oil perform
the following: isolate the volume into the smallest flushing loop possible, obtain local engineering approval (see
6.3) to pre-clean by flushing with a low foaming detergent pre-cleaner that will emulsify oil contamination, and then
perform the preflush as specified in 5.5.6 prior to the final NOC or TSP flush. The pre-cleaner is used to remove oil
and grease contamination, and then NOC or TSP is used to remove any pre-cleaner residue and certify cleanliness.
For volumes that cannot be bypassed, but can either be locally cleaned as specified in 5.12.4 or the configuration of
the volume will not collect separated oil during the final flush, such as an in-line vertically oriented flask, a separate
pre-clean flush is not required.
5.5.4 Electrolytic oxygen gas generators. For systems with electrolytic oxygen generators, perform a potassium
hydroxide (KOH) contamination inspection as specified in 5.6.
5.5.5 Leak-check. The flush boundary shall be leak-checked with nitrogen or Grade B water to the anticipated
flush pressure. This will eliminate the time consuming clean-up of spilled or leaked cleaner. Where an oxygen
clean system interfaces with a flush boundary, using nitrogen for the leak check is recommended. Any nitrogen
leakage into the oxygen clean system will not cause loss of cleanliness.
5.5.6 Preflush. For new systems or systems with extensive modifications, a preflush as follows is
recommended:
a. Perform a forward and backward preflush at a minimum of 3 ft/sec using Grade B water. The preflush
water temperature may be elevated to not greater than 180 °F. The higher temperatures will increase the
effectiveness of the preflush and preheat the system minimizing the pipe line cleaning time.
b. Outlets should be opened one at a time to help clean valve bodies and other probable pocketing areas. The
flush should continue until there is no visible evidence of debris.
5.5.7 Hydrostatic test. Hydrostatic testing as specified in 5.9 should normally be accomplished after the
preflush, if applicable, and before the final flush.
5.5.8 Final flush or pipe line cleaning. The final flush or pipe line cleaning shall be accomplished as follows:
a. Flush the system with NOC at 150 to 170 °F or TSP at 160 to 180 °F at the flow rate as specified in
5.5.8(b). The temperature of the NOC at the outlet of the system being cleaned shall be maintained at not less than
140 °F. If TSP is used, the system shall be preheated by flushing once-through with hot Grade B water until the
desired temperature is attained. In order to prevent precipitation of the TSP, the TSP shall not be allowed to cool or
remain uncirculated prior to rinsing as specified in 5.5.9. If NOC is used, it may be recirculated in the system cold
and heated in place. The flush starts when the outlet temperature reaches 140 °F.
b. The fluid velocity shall be not less than 3 ft/sec. The flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM) equivalent to 3
ft/sec can be determined by multiplying the square of the pipe or tube inside diameter in inches by 7.4, as follows:
GPM at 3 ft/sec = (ID-inches)2(7.4)
c. The requirements for a back flush and the flush durations for various applications are as specified in
5.5.8(a) and Table III.
d. At the completion of the flush, obtain a 500 to 600 mL sample of the flushing medium in a 1-liter container
from each outlet prior to the filter. Sampling prior to the back flush is required only if new cleaning agent will be
used for the back flush. If the same charge of cleaner is used for both directions of the flush, only sampling at the
end of the flush is required.
e. For NOC, visually inspect the sample for oil and particulate. If oil or particulate is present, continue
flushing until no oil or excessive (3 or more particles) particulate is present. Continued flushing will allow the filter
to remove the visible contaminants. If no oil or excessive particulate is present, verify organic cleanliness as
specified in 5.13.2.
f. For TSP, verify organic cleanliness as specified in 5.13.2.

Regardless of the configuration, the back flush can be deleted if all of the following conditions are met:
(a) It is authorized by local engineering.
(b) All pipe sections have been pre-cleaned.
(c) All valve bodies, filter housings, and other large component housings shall have been cleaned to oxygen
cleanliness requirements.
(d) Prior to the flush, all cartridges, filter elements, regulators, and other components shall be removed and
flush plugs or bypass lines installed. After the flush, all cavities shall be visually inspected as specified in
5.13.1. Any evidence of contamination shall be removed by either local cleaning with NOC or TSP or
additional flushing. The results of the visual inspection shall be recorded.
(e) For oxygen enriched systems only, the system piping and components shall be fabricated from material that
will not propagate a flame at maximum operating pressure when determined in accordance ASTM G94.
For information, brass, bronze, copper, copper-nickel, nickel-aluminum-bronze, and nickel-copper (monel)
will not propagate a flame in an oxygen or oxygen enriched atmosphere at pressures up to 7500 lb/in2.
5.5.9 Rinsing and particulate flushing. Rinsing and particulate flushing shall be accomplished as follows:
a. Remove the majority of NOC with nitrogen and collect for future use, or proceed to 5.5.9(b). When using
nitrogen, do not allow NOC to dry before proceeding to 5.5.9(b).
b. Remove cleaning solution by rinsing the system once-through with Grade B water at a velocity of not less
than 3 ft/sec. Return filters that were used during the flush step should be removed, replaced, or bypassed prior to
rinsing to prevent contamination trapped by the filter from being introduced into the system. The water temperature
shall be not less than 110 °F for NOC and 160 °F for TSP. Systems flushed with large in-line volumes, such as
moisture separators, where the flushing velocity is less than 3 ft/sec shall be back flushed with rinse water to ensure
all cleaning agent is removed.
c. Obtain a sample of the rinse effluent and measure the pH as specified in 5.13.4.2. When the effluent pH is
not greater than 8.0, outlets shall be opened one at a time to help clean valve bodies and other probable pocketing
areas. The rinse water shall then be recirculated until the pH of the effluent at each branch, vent, or drain is not
greater than 8.0.
d. At the completion of rinsing, obtain a sample of the rinse effluent from each branch and verify particulate
cleanliness as specified in 5.13.3. If any of the samples do not pass the required inspection, recirculate Grade B
water through the system at a velocity of not less than 3 ft/sec for not less than 30 minutes. The water temperature
does not need to be elevated. Filters should be installed to trap particulate. Continue flushing until a sample of the
effluent from each branch passes the particulate cleanliness as specified in 5.13.3.

e. Any residual NOC or TSP in the cavities should be removed prior to drying. Remove flush plugs and
inspect for residual NOC or TSP. Remove all visible traces of NOC or TSP by wearing cleanroom gloves and
wiping each cavity and flush plug with a clean lint- free cloth wetted with Grade B water at a temperature of 100 to
120 °F. The flush plugs should be reinstalled prior to drying with nitrogen.
5.5.10 Drying and reinstalling components. Drying and reinstallation of components shall be accomplished as
follows:
a. Remove rinse water and dry the system with nitrogen until a minus 40 °F dew point is reached. For
systems which operate at elevated humidity, such as electrolytic oxygen generator systems, or in the absence of an
elevated dryness requirement, a dew point of plus 20 °F is acceptable. Nitrogen preheaters, strip heaters, or vacuum
pumps have been successfully used. Appropriate precautions shall be taken to prevent damaging piping and
equipment.
b. The recommended drying method is using nitrogen at low flow rates. This allows the gas to evaporate the
moisture. Higher flow rates are suitable for removing visible moisture. If it is suspected that pockets of water exist
at low points in the system, a high-volume blow-down can be employed. The pressure should be not greater than
100 lb/in2 or maximum operating pressure, whichever is less.
c. While maintaining cleanliness as specified in 5.10, all items shall be removed which were installed in
5.5.3.2. A visual inspection of each cavity shall be performed as specified in 5.13.1. Additionally, where
applicable, open and visually inspect all large volumes as specified in 5.13.1. If the visual inspection fails, locally
clean as specified in 5.12.4. While maintaining cleanliness as specified in 5.10, components cleaned as specified in
5.2 shall be installed:
d. The system shall be reassembled and pressurized with nitrogen or helium to maintain not less than 10 lb/in2,
or packaged as specified in 5.16 to maintain cleanliness. If the pressure should drop below 10 lb/in2, the responsible
authority shall investigate the circumstances associated with the pressure drop to ensure that no contamination could
have entered the system which would require repeating the flush.
e. Test, charge with system fluid, and return to operational conditions.
5.6 Potassium hydroxide (KOH) inspection.
5.6.1 Applicability. This inspection applies only if the system has an electrolytic oxygen gas generator that
uses KOH. The oxygen system shall be visually inspected for KOH contamination at mechanical joints before the
system is flushed as specified in 5.5.5 through 5.5.9. KOH is a whitish solid that may occur as a scale on the inside
of pipes and components.
5.6.2 Inspection. The inspection for KOH contamination shall be accomplished as follows:
a. The oxygen generator union connection shall be considered the first mechanical joint downstream of the
moisture separator. The piping to the oxygen generator union connection shall be examined for KOH
contamination. If no KOH is found, no further inspection shall be required. If contamination is found, perform the
inspection as specified in 5.6.2(b).
b. If KOH is found in the oxygen generator union connection as identified in 5.6.2(a), downstream piping to
the isolation valves in the distribution header shall be visually inspected. If no KOH is found in this section, no
further inspection is required and the KOH shall be removed as specified in 5.6.3. If KOH is found in this section,
the remainder of the system shall be visually inspected as specified in 5.6.2(c).
c. If KOH is found in the distribution header as identified in 5.6.2(b), the remainder of the system shall be
visually inspected. The KOH shall be removed as specified in 5.6.3.
5.6.3 KOH removal. KOH shall be removed by flushing with Grade B water at a temperature of 120 to 140 °F.

Acceptance criteria The temperature corrected pressure drop shall not exceed 1.0 percent of the test pressure.
5.9.2 Operational testing. Repairs, modification, or installation of new piping and components which affect the
operation of the system or components require operational testing prior to manned use. Open-ended piping requires
an operational test to prove unobstructed flow.
5.9.3 Gas sampling and analysis. For critical applications and Diver Life Support Systems, a gas sample is
required if work was accomplished that could introduce gaseous contaminants into a component or system such as
cleaning with a solvent. For components with large volumes, such as flasks, the sample may be taken prior to or
after installation, however, sampling prior to installation is recommended to prevent rework. The gas sample shall
be taken and analyzed as follows:
a. Isolate the pressurized component or portion of the system from the pressurized source. The recommended

(c) Routine replacement of flasks in accordance with detailed procedures.
(d) Removal of fittings or components to connect a purge source to a system.
NOTES:
1/
Purges shall be established as specified in 5.10.2. A purge is always required, regardless of the conditions, if
socket or seal welding in accordance with NAVSEA S9074-AR-GIB-010/278, or equal, is being performed
and cleanliness is being maintained. Additionally, a purge is always required if the ambient environment may
introduce an unwanted contaminant. Examples of unwanted ambient environmental contaminants include air
contamination of a helium life support system or moisture contamination of a liquid oxygen system.
2/
A controlled area as specified in 5.1 shall be constructed around the component to be removed.
3/
Airborne contamination includes operation of gasoline or diesel fueled equipment, and evolutions such as
grinding, painting, and brazing.
4/
On a case basis, local engineering can authorize no purge and no controlled area for items outside of these
categories. Items such as flame propagation and damage to delicate components from particulate
contamination shall be considered. ASTM G63 and ASTM G94 provide guidance for evaluating materials for
oxygen service which can be used to assess the probability of flame propagation.

MIL-STD-1330D(SH)
w/ Change 1
5.10.1.1 The component being removed and adjacent piping and equipment shall be externally cleaned with an
aqueous cleaner or NAVSEA approved halogenated solvent1 to remove loose scale, dust, dirt, and other foreign
material. Ultraviolet and white light inspections as specified in 5.13.1.2 and 5.13.1.3 shall indicate no visible
contamination.
1
For critical applications, NAVSEA approved halogenated solvents may be used for external cleaning with local
engineering approval.
5.10.1.2 That portion of the system to be entered shall be isolated with appropriate boundary isolation valves
and depressurized. Discharge of any fluid shall be in accordance with the appropriate safety precautions of
NAVSEA S9086-SX-STM-010/CH-550.
5.10.1.3 Personnel clothing, including cleanroom gloves as specified in 5.1.6, Class B, paragraph (c), or equal
shall be worn whenever handling the wetted surface of oxygen clean components. Oxygen clean component wetted
surfaces touched with bare hands shall be considered contaminated and shall be cleaned as specified in 5.2 to re-
establish oxygen cleanliness.
5.10.1.4 Systems containing oxygen at levels greater than 22 percent or hydrogen at levels greater than 3
percent shall be purged with helium or nitrogen to eliminate fire or explosion hazards using one of the following
procedures:
a. Where the configuration allows a purge path, the affected can be purged with helium or nitrogen until the
effluent purge gas measures not greater than 22 percent oxygen or 3 percent hydrogen. The measurement shall be
taken using suitable colormetric gas detector tubes such as those manufactured by Draeger Manufacturing Company
or a portable analyzer or other equivalent means.
b. Where the configuration does not allow a purge path such as a flask, or gas sampling equipment to measure
oxygen or hydrogen is not available, verify the affected area is depressurized, then pressurize to about 100 lb/in2
with helium or nitrogen, and then depressurize the affected area. Repeat the cycle one additional time for oxygen or
oxygen enriched systems for a total of two pressurization-depressurization cycles. For hydrogen systems, the
pressurization-depressurization cycle shall be performed two additional times for a total of three times. Sampling to
measure oxygen or hydrogen concentration is not required.
5.10.1.5 Only certified oxygen clean items, including replacement pipe, components, and tools, shall be
installed or come in contact with the wetted surface of an oxygen clean system or component. Oxygen clean items
removed for transportation shall be immediately packaged as specified in 5.16. If cleanliness is lost because of torn
packaging, maintenance, or repair, the effected item shall be cleaned as specified in 5.2 to re-establish oxygen
cleanliness.
5.10.1.6 Socket and seal welding in accordance with NAVSEA S9074-AR-GIB-010/278, or equal, are
considered clean processes that do not result in loss of oxygen cleanliness provided that a purge as specified in
5.10.2 is maintained. Any other welding or brazing processes result in a loss of oxygen cleanliness that requires
recleaning as specified in 5.5 or 5.8.
5.10.1.7 Establish the containment or purge requirements as specified in Table IX. When a system is opened to
remove an item, perform a visual inspection as specified in 5.13.1. Any visible contamination of the wetted surfaces
shall be locally cleaned as specified in 5.12.4. Complete the necessary maintenance and repair. Prior to closing the
system, repeat the visual inspection as specified in 5.13.1 for visual contamination. Any evidence of visible
contamination may be an indication that loss of cleanliness has occurred and additional inspections as specified in
5.12 shall be accomplished.
5.10.1.8 If there is an unscheduled delay whatsoever, such as the wrong material, an incorrect part, or
contamination, between the time that the system is opened and the time that the replacement component is installed,
the open portions of the system shall be packaged as specified in 5.16.1.3. When the system is reopened, perform a
visual inspection as specified in 5.13.1. Any evidence of visible contamination may be an indication that loss of
cleanliness has occurred and additional inspections as specified in 5.12 may be required.
5.10.2 Purge. When the system is open, a slight positive purge of about 2 lb/in2 helium or nitrogen shall be
maintained within the system to prevent possible entry of airborne contamination.

MIL-STD-1330D(SH)
w/ Change 1
5.11 Piping repairs.

5.11.1 Applicability. For repairs of piping, the following procedure may be employed to eliminate the need to
hydrostatically test and clean the piping. Local engineering approval is required to employ this procedure.
5.11.2 System preparation. The area where cutting or grinding will occur and the adjacent piping or equipment
shall be externally cleaned to remove loose scale, dust, dirt, oil, grease, and other foreign materials as specified in
5.10.1.1. That portion of the system where cutting or grinding will occur shall be depressurized and purged of
dangerous gases (such as, oxygen, hydrogen) using helium or nitrogen. The affected portion of the system where
cutting or grinding will occur shall be isolated by shutting the boundary isolation valve. A convenient bleed point
within the affected boundary shall be allowed. After the affected portion has been depressurized, systems containing
oxygen at levels greater than 22 percent or hydrogen at levels greater than 3 percent shall be purged with helium or
nitrogen to eliminate fire or explosion hazards as specified in 5.10.1.4.
5.11.3 Maintenance of purge. During cutting or grinding and when the system is open to the atmosphere,
maintain a slight positive helium or nitrogen purge of about 2 lb/in2 to prevent possible entry of airborne
contamination or contamination from cutting or grinding.
5.11.4 Cutting or grinding of system. When cutting, cut to the blue line and carefully break the pipe or remove
the fitting minimizing the entry of contaminants. When grinding, grind carefully to prevent the entry of
contaminants. Exercise extreme caution when performing cuts in vertical pipe runs to prevent introducing
contamination. A cut in a horizontal pipe run should precede any vertical cut. Increase purge pressure as necessary
during cutting or grinding to prevent the entry of contaminants.
5.11.5 Cleaning. While maintaining the purge, locally clean the pipe internally and externally where the
cutting or grinding occurred as specified in 5.12.4. If there are any significant delays during fit up and welding, the
system shall be packaged as specified in 5.16.1.3. The purge shall be maintained during joint fitup. Depending on
the welded joint design, the purge pressure established to maintain cleanliness may need to be reduced or the purge
stopped to allow satisfactory completion of the weld. In this case, once the cleanliness boundary is secured, such as
when the weld joint is tacked to positively prevent separation, and verified by a Certified Oxygen Clean Worker
qualified in accordance with 5.14, the welder can adjust the purge as necessary provided this does not otherwise
conflict with the requirements of NAVSEA S9074-AR-GIB-010/278. Work shall be planned to minimize the time
the system is open to the atmosphere or temporarily packaged. If cleanliness is maintained properly and no
contamination is detected, flushing of the piping system is not required. If contamination is detected, the extent and
source of the contamination shall be determined and the system shall be cleaned as required to remove the
contamination as specified herein.
5.11.6 Inspection and testing. Hydrostatic testing is not required if the operating test option authorized in
NSTM S9086-RK-STM-010/CH-505 is used. The operating test option of NSTM S9086-RK-STM-010/CH-505
specifies that the weld root shall be inspected by liquid penetrant (PT). The option to inspect the weld root with 5X
visual per NAVSEA S9074-AR-GIB-010/278 is deleted. After welding, perform a joint tightness test as specified in
5.9.
5.12 Loss of system cleanliness.
5.12.1 Definition. Contamination of a system which has previously been cleaned as specified by this standard
due to other than normal system use is considered a loss of system cleanliness. Examples include loss of a purge,
system degradation causing pieces of material to deposit in the system, and inadvertent exposure of a cleaned
surface to an uncontrolled atmosphere.
5.12.2 Method for determination of extent of contamination. Whenever loss or suspected loss of cleanliness
occurs, the extent of the contamination shall be determined by performing a visual inspection as specified in 5.13.1.
The boundary of the contamination is determined based on the inspection results. The following would be
considered as unacceptable requiring corrective action as specified in 5.12.3. This list is for guidance only and does
not include all items that may be encountered requiring corrective action.
a. Any fluorescence under ultraviolet light or observable coatings attributed to other than approved lubricants.
The procedure specified in 5.13.6 for detecting hydrocarbon contamination by swipe is useful in differentiating an
approved lubricant from a hydrocarbon contaminant.
34
MIL-STD-1330D(SH)
w/ Change 1
b. Clearly defined pieces such as elastomers likely caused by system degradation.

c. Visible particles attributed to several causes such as exposure to an uncontrolled atmosphere, inadequately
filtered purge gas, or corrosion of nearby components. If possible, particles should be collected and analyzed in
order to determine the source.
5.12.3 Corrective action. Contaminated systems shall be evaluated by local engineering for the need to reclean.
Consideration should be given to items such as the application, configuration, and potential hazards posed by the
contamination. For instance, particulate is expected and considered acceptable in a closed loop life support system
with scrubbers; however, any contamination in a high pressure oxygen system with aluminum piping or components
poses a serious hazard. Particulate contamination or organic contamination identified as an approved lubricant
should be removed by local cleaning as specified in 5.12.4. However, evidence of hydrocarbon contamination
requires recleaning to the requirements of this standard. Loss of system cleanliness due to other than normal system
use shall be noted (see 6.3) specifying corrective action.
5.12.4 Local cleaning. During performance of local cleaning, maintain system cleanliness as specified in 5.10.
Clean cloths as specified in 3.6 shall be used for local cleaning. Wearing cleanroom gloves, wipe the contaminated
surface with the clean cloth wetted with warm (100 to 120 °F) NOC or TSP solution as specified in 4.3 or, with local
engineering approval, a NAVSEA approved halogenated solvent. After use of NOC or TSP solution, wipe the
cleaned surface with a new clean cloth wetted with warm (100 to 120 °F) Grade B water to remove cleaner residue.
This process shall be repeated until the parts pass the visual inspection as specified in 5.13.1. Dry the wetted
surfaces with a new clean cloth. If necessary, use nitrogen to dry the surface.
5.13 Process verification methods.
5.13.1 Visual surface inspection methods.
5.13.1.1 Applicability. When specified, verification of surface cleanliness by visual inspection shall be
performed using ultraviolet light as specified in 5.13.1.2, bright white light as specified in 5.13.1.3, and for surfaces
with areas not less than 16 square inches (in2) (100 cm2), swipe as specified in 5.13.1.4. Visual inspection
techniques as specified in 5.13.1.2 through 5.13.1.4 are limited only to determining the presence of organic or
particulate contamination on a surface cleaned in accordance with this standard. Visual inspection techniques shall
not be used in place of cleaning or to establish the absence of contamination on a surface not cleaned as specified in
this standard.
5.13.1.2 Ultraviolet light method. The surface shall be inspected with an ultraviolet light having a wave length
of 3600 to 3900 angstroms. The inspection shall be performed by a person with normal visual acuity, natural or
corrected. Any evidence of fluorescence from oil, grease, ink, dye, particulate, or fibers on the surface being
inspected shall be cause for rejection, unless otherwise specified. Note that most oils and greases do not fluoresce,
while some non-metallic substrates may fluoresce leading to possible false negative or false positive results.
5.13.1.3 Bright white light method. The surface shall be inspected with a bright white light of at least 100 foot-
candles. The inspection shall be performed by a person with normal visual acuity, natural or corrected. A general
purpose two D-cell flashlight, in good condition, at a distance of no greater than 18 inches from the surface being
inspected will illuminate the surface with an intensity of not less than 100 foot-candles. Any evidence of oil, grease,
ink, dye, particulate, or fibers on the surface being inspected shall be cause for rejection, unless otherwise specified.
5.13.1.4 Swipe method. The surface shall be swiped with at least two movements with filter paper or a clean
swipe cloth as specified in 3.6. Any evidence of oil, grease, ink, dye, particulate, or fibers shall be cause for
rejection. Note that the swipe method is limited to surfaces with areas no less than 16 in2 (100 cm2).

5.13.2 Hydrocarbon and NVR analysis methods.

5.13.2.1 Applicability. All aqueous cleaning processes using NOC as a final cleaner shall check for the
presence of excessive foam using the shake test specified in 5.13.2.2. Depending on the final cleaner, one of the
analytical methods specified in Table X shall be used to quantitatively determine the concentration of hydrocarbons
(oil and grease) or non-volatile residue (NVR) in the final cleaner. Exceptions are nitrogen-oxygen life support
piping and components wetted by not greater than 50 percent by volume oxygen and final cleaned with NOC, and
demineralized water system components final cleaned with NOC. For these items, the qualitative clarity inspection
of NOC specified in 5.13.2.9 may be substituted for the quantitative inspection specified in Table X.

When measuring hydrocarbon or NVR contamination, negative results are possible. These results are
acceptable and should be reported as less than 1 ppm.
2/
The preferred method of analyzing NOC is as specified in 5.13.2.3.
5.13.2.2 Shake test. A half-full capped sample container of not less than 250 mL shall be vigorously agitated
for not less than 5 seconds, then allowed to stand undisturbed for 5 minutes. Any evidence of bubbles remaining on
the surface shall be cause for rejection. The shake test is useful in detecting the presence of some soluble organic
contaminants such as hydrocarbon surfactants in low foaming inorganic solutions such as NOC. As an example,
NOC with only 5 milligrams per liter (mg/L) NID will develop a stable foam visible after 30 minutes. The presence
of foam is often the result of carry-over from a pre-clean step. However, the shake test is used only to determine the
presence of organic or particulate contamination. A shake test will not detect insoluble organic contaminants such
as oil or grease, and, therefore, shall not be used to establish the absence of organic contaminants.
5.13.2.3 Non-volatile residue in NOC. The concentration of NVR in NOC shall be determined as specified in
Appendix B.
5.13.2.4 Solvent extraction of aqueous cleaners. As specified in Appendix C, this method serially extracts a
homogenized sample of TSP solution or NOC with three 30 mL or 160 mL volumes of CFC-113 or HCFC-225, as
applicable, and subsequently dilutes the extract to either 100 mL or 500 mL. The extract is then analyzed as
specified in 5.13.2.5 or 5.13.2.8.
36
MIL-STD-1330D(SH)
w/ Change 1
5.13.2.5 Solvent extract non-volatile residue. Non-volatile residue (NVR) of solvent extract shall be
determined in accordance with ASTM F331 (see 6.3). This method evaporates 500 mL of solvent to 20 to 30 mL
using a rotary flash evaporator, evaporates the 20 to 30 mL residue with a 105 to 110 °C oven, cools the sample, and
then weighs the remaining residue, recording the NVR in ppm. Because of the volume, expense, and effluent
discharge associated with the solvent NVR analysis, activities should implement methods to collect and recycle
evaporated solvent.
5.13.2.6 Solvent non-volatile residue. Non-volatile residue (NVR) of solvent shall be determined in
accordance with NAVSEA ST700-F1-PRO-010, Appendix E, or ASTM D2109, method A (see 6.3). NAVSEA
ST700-F1-PRO-010, Appendix E, was developed for instruments that have a smaller sample size of 100 mL.
5.13.2.7 Solvent optically stimulated electron emission. Residue in solvent shall be determined in accordance
with Appendix D.
5.13.2.8 Solvent infrared spectrophotometry. Hydrocarbon oil and grease in trichlorotrifluoroethane (CFC-
113) shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D3921 (see 6.3).
5.13.2.9 White light visual clarity inspection. Samples shall be visually inspected for clarity. Inspections shall
be performed by a person with normal visual acuity, natural or corrected, under bright white light of at least 100
foot-candles. A general purpose, two D-cell flashlight in good condition, at a distance of no greater than 18 inches
directly above a surface will illuminate the surface with an intensity of not less than 100 foot-candles. Samples shall
be inspected in a chemically compatible clear container, or clean white dish. Any visible turbidity from
contaminants such as oil, grease, sediment, paint chips, bead blast, or resin beads shall be cause for rejection.
Evidence of not greater than 3 particles is acceptable.
5.13.3 Particulate inspection methods.
5.13.3.1 Applicability. Unless otherwise specified, a white light visual particle inspection as specified in
5.13.3.2 shall be performed on a sample of the final rinse water or solvent. For critical applications, a particle count
as specified in 5.13.3.3 shall be performed on a sample of the final rinse water or solvent.
5.13.3.2 White light visual particle inspection. Samples of final rinse water or solvent shall be visually
inspected for particulate contamination. Inspection shall be performed by a person with normal visual acuity,
natural or corrected, under bright white light of at least 100 foot-candles. A general purpose two D-cell flashlight, in
good condition, at a distance of not greater than 18 inches directly above a surface will illuminate the surface with an
intensity of not less than 100 foot-candles. Samples shall be inspected in a chemically compatible clear container or
clean white dish. Any visible particles shall be cause for rejection. This visual inspection corresponds to a
quantitative limit of no particles greater than 50 micrometers.
5.13.3.3 Particle count. Particle counts of final rinse water or solvent samples should meet IEST-STD-CC1246
cleanliness level 100 or 200 when determined in accordance with ASTM F311 (see 6.3). A particle count is
determined by filtering a sample of rinse water or solvent through a 1.0 micrometer, or less, membrane filter. The
size and quantity of particles on the filter is then determined using a microscope. The particle count should be
reported in relation to a known volume (1 liter) or surface area [1 square foot (ft2)] using the appropriate IEST-STD-
CC1246 cleanliness level distribution. Note that the analysis should be performed in a clean environment to prevent
contamination. One alternative to simplify the particle count is to look for a particle larger than the largest particle
size allowed to have an unlimited quantity. As an example, if the largest particle size allowed to have an unlimited
quantity is 50 micrometers, look only for particles greater than 50 micrometers. A complete particle count would be
required only if particles greater than 50 micrometers were observed.
5.13.4 pH analysis.
5.13.4.1 Applicability. When specified, the pH of rinse water shall be determined as specified in 5.13.4.2. The
pH of NOC should be determined as specified in 5.13.4.3.
5.13.4.2 Rinse water pH. When specified, the pH of rinse water shall be determined using a pH probe, litmus
paper, or phenolphthalein indicator solution. Three drops of phenolphthalein indicator solution in a 100 mL sample
will appear colorless or a very slight pink when the pH is 8.0 or less.

MIL-STD-1330D(SH)
w/ Change 1
5.13.4.3 NOC pH. To accurately measure the pH of NOC, measure pH as specified by MIL-DTL-24800, or
measure in accordance with ASTM E70 and the following:
a. Select a pH probe with a low sodium ion error and Teflon junction that is rated for a pH range of 0 to 14.
The Teflon junction will not clog as quickly as the commonly used ceramic junction. Use of thick glass pH probes
rated at 0 to 12 will result in pH errors of up to 0.5 units. Alternatively, an ion selective field effect transistor
(ISFET) probe can be used. The ISFET probe eliminates the pH sensitive glass tip easing clean up and extending
life.
b. Check the calibration of the pH meter with pH 10 and pH 12 buffer solutions. The common practice of
checking pH meter calibration with pH 7 and pH 10 buffer solutions will not yield accurate results.
c. After measuring the pH of NOC, clean the probe by soaking in a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide
for about 1 hour. A saturated solution of calcium hydroxide can be prepared by mixing 0.2 gm calcium hydroxide
with 100 mL of water. The presence of some precipitate indicates the solution is saturated.
5.13.5 NOC alkalinity. When specified, the alkalinity (hydroxide concentration) in NOC shall be evaluated as
follows:
5.13.5.1 Equipment.
a. A balance accurate to 0.01 grams with a zero drift less than 0.01 grams, and a capacity sufficient to prepare
reagent solutions as specified in 5.13.5.3. Suitable balances are available through laboratory supply houses such as
Thomas Scientific.
b. Beakers or erlenmeyer flasks of 100 to 250 mL capacity, plastic or glass; or equal.
c. Graduated cylinder of 50 to 100 mL capacity, plastic or glass; or equal.
d. Eye dropper or pipette, plastic or glass; or equal.
e. Syringe or buret, 35 to 50 mL capacity, with 1 mL graduation intervals, preferably plastic; or equal.

a. Potassium acid phthalate or potassium biphthalate (KHP), CAS No. 877-24-7, primary standard or
acidimetric standard, crystals, ACS reagent grade or better, available from chemical supply houses such as Sigma
Chemical Co. (800) 325-3010. Do not use powdered KHP; powdered KHP will not completely dissolve.
b. Thymolphthalein, pH indicator, CAS No. 125-20-2, powder, available from chemical supply houses such as
Sigma Chemical Co. (800) 325-3010.
c. Grade B water.
d. Isopropyl alcohol as specified in 4.4.2.
5.13.5.3 Reagent preparation.
a. Prepare a 4 percent wt/vol KHP solution by adding 100.0±1.0 mL of Grade B water to each 4.0±0.1 grams
of KHP (see 5.13.5.2(a)). The KHP may not dissolve in the water immediately. After adding the water to the flask
gently swirl or stir the contents for about 1 minute being careful not to deposit solid KHP on the sides of the
container. Let the container stand for 10 minutes and swirl or stir the flask for an additional minute. The KHP
solution has a 3-month shelf life when stored in a tightly sealed glass container.
b. Prepare a 0.2 percent wt/vol thymolphthalein pH indicator solution by adding 50.0±1.0 mL of isopropyl
alcohol (see 5.13.5.2(d)) to each 0.1±0.01 grams of thymolphthalein (see 5.13.5.2 (b)). The solution may have to sit
for up to 4 hours to allow the thymolphthalein to completely dissolve. The pH indicator should be clear, water white
with no precipitate. The pH indicator has a 1-month shelf life when stored in a tightly sealed brown glass or plastic
container.
5.13.5.4 Procedure.
a. Transfer 50.0±1.0 mL of the 4.0 percent KHP solution (see 5.13.5.3(a)) to the beaker or erlenmeyer flask.
b. Add five drops of the 0.2 percent thymolphthalein pH indicator solution (see 5.13.5.3(b)) to the beaker or
erlenmeyer flask. The KHP solution should be clear.
38
MIL-STD-1330D(SH)
w/ Change 1
c. Fill the syringe or buret with NOC test solution. Record to the nearest 1 mL the level of the NOC in the
syringe or buret.
d. Slowly add NOC to the KHP solution while swirling the beaker or erlenmeyer flask until a blue color
endpoint persists for 15 seconds. Record to the nearest 1 mL the final level of the NOC in the syringe or buret.
5.13.5.5 Calculation. Determine the volume of NOC used by subtracting the final level (from 5.13.5.4(d)) of
NOC solution in the syringe or buret from the initial level (from 5.13.5.4(c)) of NOC solution in the syringe or buret.
Record this volume difference in milliliters. Report this number as the alkalinity - mL of NOC. When the alkalinity
test measures 35 to 40 mL of NOC, the NOC should be discarded, or recharged as specified in 4.3.1.8.
5.13.6 Detection of hydrocarbon contamination by swipe. This procedure can be used to identify the presence
of hydrocarbons in visible contamination. Some non-visible contamination such as a film of hydrocarbon
lubricating oil may also be detected. It is intended to supplement the visual inspection methods of 5.13.1.2 to
5.13.1.4 during maintenance or loss of system cleanliness. The procedure does not measure the concentration of
hydrocarbon contamination, and shall not be used to certify cleanliness of a system or component not previously
cleaned and certified as specified in this standard. The procedure has a sensitivity of only 20 to 30 milligrams per
square foot (mg/ft2) hydrocarbons. Systems and components cleaned and certified as specified in this standard have
hydrocarbon cleanliness levels of 3 mg/ft2 or less.
5.13.6.1 Equipment.
a. Disposable pure Teflon membrane filters as specified in B.5(c) of Appendix B. Do not use bonded or
laminated Teflon filters as these filters contain hydrocarbons that will interfere with the analysis.
b. A Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer.
5.13.6.2 Swipe Procedure.
a. Using cleanroom gloves as specified in 5.1.6, swipe the area of interest by applying direct pressure to the
center of the filter using only one finger and draw for a distance of about 1 to 2 inches. Unlike 5.13.1.4, the swipe
area is intended to be very small. In order to detect contamination with the FTIR, it is very important to locate the
contamination in the center of the filter in a very small area; preferably less than 10 millimeter diameter.
b. Transfer the filter to a non-contaminating container such as a clean polyethylene bag as specified in 5.16, or
a clean glass or clear hard plastic container. Record the date and the swipe location, and transport to a laboratory for
analysis.
5.13.6.3 FTIR Procedure.
a. Perform about 32 scans of the center swiped area of the filter with the FTIR in absorbance mode with Res 4
and full aperture between 2600 cm-1 and 3400 cm-1.
b. Review the spectrum for absorbance peaks occurring at the CH stretch region near 2930 cm-1. Absorbance
peaks in this region that are 3 to 5 times higher than background are discernable significant peaks that indicate the
presence of hydrocarbon contamination requiring corrective action.
5.14 Personnel qualification and training.
5.14.1 Applicability. Piping systems and components to be certified oxygen clean, shall be cleaned, assembled,
tested (if cleanliness is being maintained), packaged, and, when required by Table XII, inspected or witnessed by
qualified personnel. Government personnel shall be qualified as either Certified Oxygen Clean Instructors or
Certified Oxygen Clean Workers. Qualification shall be obtained by completing the appropriate course of
instruction specified in 5.14.2 and passing a written examination. Contractor personnel shall demonstrate equivalent
training by completing the appropriate course of instruction specified in 5.14.2, or its equivalent, and passing an
appropriate written examination. Vendor personnel should obtain equivalent training from authorized government
facilities or commercial agencies such as ASTM subcommittee G-4 or CGA.

5.15 Validation of the component cleaning process.
5.15.1 Periodicity. Validation of the aqueous component cleaning process shall be performed annually as
specified in 5.15.2. This validates the entire process including the pre-clean, final clean, rinse, and dry steps. Each
operator should perform the validation within a 3-year period. Records of the results of the validations shall be
maintained for not less than 3 years. Failure to meet the validation requirements shall be immediately corrected,
assessed for impact on previously delivered oxygen clean material, and recorded (see 6.3).
5.15.2 Procedure. Three monel or cres 304 or 316 coupons of dimensions 0.875 to 1.125 inches wide by 3.875
to 4.125 inches high by 0.0625 to 0.125 inches thick shall be cleaned as specified in 5.2. Each coupon shall be
weighed on a scale capable of measuring 0.1 mg. All three coupons shall be contaminated with 75 to 100 mg of the
same soil and weighed. The soils used shall be MIL-PRF-24139 hydrocarbon grease, SAE-AS8660 silicone grease,
and MIL-PRF-27617 fluorinated grease, or equal. The contaminated coupons shall be cleaned as specified in 5.2.
After cleaning, the final weight of each coupon shall indicate that not less than 99.9 percent of the soil was removed.
5.16 Packaging, identification, and storage.

5.16.1 Packaging.
5.16.1.1 Applicability. Certified oxygen clean components cleaned internally and externally shall be packaged
as specified in 5.16.1.2. Certified oxygen clean items cleaned internally only, such as hoses or piping assemblies,
shall be packaged as specified in 5.16.1.3.
5.16.1.2 Internally and externally cleaned components. Using film as specified in Table XI, packaging shall be
accomplished as follows:
a. Sealing of openings. Items with openings leading to cleaned inner surfaces, should be sealed as specified in
5.16.1.3.
b. Intimate cushioning. Heavy items or items having threads, sharp points, or edges which could damage the
barrier packaging shall be cushioned with film. Secure the cushioning film with tape whose adhesive shall not come
in contact with the cleaned component.

MIL-STD-1330D(SH)
w/ Change 1
c. Intimate packaging. After performing step (a) or (b), if applicable, place the component in a film bag and
gently compress the bag to force out excess air. Heat seal the bag. For temporary closures, such as maintaining
cleanliness of a component during transport, tape may be used to completely seal the bag opening provided the
adhesive does not come in contact with the cleaned component.
d. Environmental packaging. After performing step (c), package the component using the same methods as
specified in step (c).
5.16.1.3 Internally cleaned items. If feasible, plugs or external caps should be used. Film can be used when
openings cannot be sealed with caps or plugs. Film should not be used for flasks because it may not provide an
adequate moisture barrier. The requirements are as follows:
a. Plugs and external caps. Plugs and caps shall have the same or higher degree of cleanliness as the item
being sealed. Threaded plugs shall be manufactured from brass, copper-nickel, or nickel-copper. Mechanically
expandable, insert type plugs fabricated from nonshedable rubber in accordance with ZZ-G-710, or equal, are
acceptable. The use of wood or plastic plugs is not permitted. Caps shall be fabricated from nonshedable plastic or
corrosion-resistant metal such as stainless steel, monel, brass, or copper. Caps shall be secured and sealed by bolting
or by taping. Tape or wood shall not be used as the capping material. Wood, however, may be used over the
metallic cap for purposes of bolting.
b. Closure with film. Apply a double layer of film as specified in Table XI over openings. Secure each layer
of film with a minimum of two tight wraps of tape. The tape shall not contact the open portions of the item. If the
closure is for other than temporarily maintaining cleanliness, a third layer of packaging material shall be applied in
the same manner or, preferably and if practical, completely wrap the item with packaging material as specified in
5.16.1.2.

piece of equipment by a wire, lanyard, or equivalent method. When accountability is needed, a formal written
record shall be maintained for tools, equipment, and temporary plugs or seals which are small enough to fit inside
openings in systems or components and which are used in fabrication and assembly operations, unless internal
surfaces can be visually observed and are certified to be satisfactorily clean prior to closure of the system or
component involved. A physical boundary shall be established to implement accountability when accountability is
required. Care shall be taken when establishing the physical boundary so that it precludes the inadvertent
introduction of foreign materials and tools. Extraneous tools, equipment, and material shall be removed from the
proximity of an opening in a system or component.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. This standard practice is for the precision cleaning and testing of naval surface ship,
submarine and diving oxygen, oxygen enriched systems, and interfacing systems. The precision cleaning process
specified herein is based on the processes and data reported in COMNAVSEA ltr’s Ser 03Y2A/081 dtd 24 Mar 94,
Ser 03Y2A/122 dtd 7 Apr 95, and Ser 03Y2A/275 dtd 11 Sept 95, and supplements thereof; and NASA Doc. No.
WSTF-IR-95-0048 dated 30 Jan 95, and supplements thereof. The performance of the precision cleaning process
specified herein directly affects the safe operation of naval surface ship, submarine and diving oxygen systems,
oxygen enriched systems, and interfacing systems. Nonconformance can result in the introduction or failure to
remove toxic and flammable contaminants that can cause catastrophic equipment failure and personnel injury and
death.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of the standard.
b. Identification of critical application systems or components as defined in 3.11, if applicable.
6.3 NAVSEA approval and direction.
6.3.1 Deviations from specified materials, procedures, and requirements and selection of specific alternative
materials and procedures require NAVSEA approval or direction. Requests should include supporting
documentation.

6.3.2 Several referenced documents within Appendix A of this standard are known to be officially withdrawn at
the time of this revision’s approval. Since these documents are still in common use within commercial practice and
industry, the official status of these publications should not affect the intent of this specification. Additionally, three
documents that have been officially withdrawn at the time of this revision’s approval are still in common use within
commercial practice and industry; and continued use is technically acceptable. FED-STD-209, Airborne Particulate
Cleanliness Classes in Cleanrooms and Clean Zones, has been cancelled and replaced by ISO-14644 (reference
Section 5.1). However, FED-STD-209 Class 100,000 (or better) clean rooms for critical applications are technically
acceptable alternatives to ISO-14644. MIL-STD-1246 has been cancelled and replaced by IEST-STD-CC1246
(reference Section 5.13). However, particle counts in accordance with MIL-STD-1246, Product Cleanliness Levels
and Contamination Control Program, for critical applications are technically acceptable alternatives to IEST-STD-
CC1246. ASTM D930, Standard Test Method of Total Immersion Corrosion Test of Water Soluble Aluminum
Cleaners, has been cancelled without replacement (Reference Appendix A). For historical purposes, ASTM D930
was used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of all aqueous cleaners with aluminum.

A.3 PROCEDURE
A.3.1 Compatibility testing. Compatibility is determined by evaluating material properties such as weight,
volume, tensile strength, elongation, or hardness and, for metals, inspecting the surface for discoloration and
degradation after exposure to the fluid of interest. Guidelines for performing material compatibility testing are as
specified in A.3.2 through A.3.4. These guidelines are conservative. Accordingly, local engineering review of
compatibility testing performed or actual experience may result in different conclusions. Results of compatibility
testing using these guidelines are provided in Tables A-I through A-III. If experience or testing indicates that a
material is less compatible than as indicated in these tables, contact NAVSEA. If a material of interest is not listed
in these tables, compatibility testing shall be accomplished using the following guidelines.
A.3.2 Metal. ASTM D930 or ASTM D1280 provide guidance for performing compatibility testing on metals.
The allowable corrosion limits are as specified in MIL-DTL-24800.
A.3.3 Rubber. ASTM D471 or ASTM D1414 provide guidance for performing compatibility testing on
rubbers. The criteria to determine the exposure limits are as specified in Table A-IV.

ANALYSIS OF NON-VOLATILE RESIDUE IN NAVY OXYGEN CLEANER BY GRAVIMETRIC

B.1 SCOPE
B.1.1 Scope. This appendix is a mandatory part of the standard. The information contained herein is intended
for compliance. This appendix provides a procedure for determination of non-volatile residue (NVR) in the Navy
oxygen cleaner (NOC) by gravimetric analysis. The residue could consist of any insoluble low vapor pressure
material in the NOC including particulate, gels, and inorganic as well as organic residues which are retained by a
Teflon membrane filter of pore diameter 0.45 micrometer.
B.2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
This section is not applicable to this appendix.
B.3 PROCEDURE
B.3.1 Summary of test method. The NVR in NOC is determined by passing a given quantity of NOC through a
0.45-micrometer Teflon filter and measuring the increase in the weight of the filter. The NOC sample is either
pushed through the filter by pressurizing a filtration reservoir containing the NOC sample with oil-free nitrogen, or
the NOC sample is drawn through the filter by a vacuum. The filter collects the NVR residue contained in the NOC.
The filter is subsequently washed with demineralized water, dried, and weighed. The increase in the weight of the
filter is a measure of the NVR in the NOC. This is performed for new, before-use NOC to establish a baseline NVR,
and is then compared to a post clean NOC sample to determine a final net after cleaning NVR.
B.4 Significance and use.
B.4.1 NOC is an aqueous inorganic alkaline solution that is filtered to 0.1 micrometers during manufacture
resulting in a material specification of 1.0 mg/L for insoluble matter. NOC removes oil and grease by displacement
with the resultant removed contaminants existing in NOC as a filterable suspension. This test method measures the
amount of NVR contained in NOC. The test is used to verify the cleanliness of oxygen systems and components
which have been cleaned by NOC.
B.4.2 This method will determine the amount of all types of NVR washed out of a system or component by
NOC including organic material, particulate, and gels. The filtrate is dried at a temperature less than or equal to the
NOC application temperature. Therefore, this procedure is not expected to result in any appreciable loss of semi-
volatile contaminants.
B.4.3 This analysis is susceptible to interference from demineralized water contaminated with insoluble
material, from a filtration column contaminated with dried NOC residue or ambient dust, and to homogenizer wear
that could contaminate the NOC sample with particulate.
B.4.4 The quantitative cleanliness standard for systems cleaned as specified in this standard generally applies to
organic (hydrocarbon) residues. However, this gravimetric method does not differentiate between organic and
inorganic residue. Therefore, when reporting contamination based solely on the results of this analysis, a higher
than actual value may be reported resulting in a built-in safety factor.
B.5 Apparatus.
a. A balance accurate to 0.1 mg with a zero drift less than 0.1 mg. A balance with an accuracy of 0.05 mg
with a zero drift less than 0.05 mg is suggested. The balance shall be calibrated in accordance with the Navy
Metrology and Calibration Program, or equivalent. Between calibrations, the accuracy of the balance should be
verified using certified balance weights. Suitable balances, such as A&D Model ER-182A or OHAUS Model
AP250D, are available through laboratory supply houses such as Thomas Scientific.
b. Balance weights of 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, and 10.0 mg, accurate to 0.02 mg (NIST Class S or ASTM Class 2) and

B.7 Samples.
a. A 500 to 600 mL sample of new-unused NOC shall be collected from each container or drum of each lot or
batch to establish a baseline NVR.
b. A 500 to 600 mL NOC sample of the NOC effluent from the oxygen system or component being cleaned
shall be collected for cleanliness verification.
c. Samples of homogenized NOC used for the gravimetric analysis will be 200 mL.
B.8 Preparation and maintenance of apparatus.
B.8.1 Apparatus used in the procedure, including the sample bottles, homogenizer, homogenizing container,
graduated cylinder, filtration reservoir, and demineralized water beaker shall have been cleaned as specified in 5.2.
B.8.2 Threaded connections in the filtration reservoir and filter support shall be wrapped with Teflon tape to
prevent leakage of the NOC sample.
B.8.3 After contact with NOC, all apparatus shall immediately be rinsed with demineralized water to remove
residual NOC to prevent formation of inorganic deposits and to maintain cleanliness.
B.9 Procedure.
B.9.1 Select a membrane filter that has equilibrated to ambient conditions.
B.9.2 Using forceps, weigh the filter to the nearest 0.1 mg, preferably to the nearest 0.05 mg.
B.9.3 Transfer the membrane filter to the filter holder and attach the filter holder to the filtration reservoir as
shown on Figure 3. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Over tightening the threaded connections may cause permanent
deformation allowing the NOC sample to leak.
B.9.4 Homogenize the 500 to 600 mL NOC sample for 3 minutes at a speed of about 7,500 revolutions per
minute (rpm) (position 3 on an OMNI Model GLH homogenizer).
B.9.5 Using an eye-dropper or pipette, wet the filter with about 1 mL of isopropyl alcohol. Allow not less than
15 seconds for the isopropyl alcohol to fully wet the filter. This is observable as a change in filter color from opaque
white when dry to translucent when wet.
B.9.6 Optional - Excessive isopropyl alcohol can react with NOC to form a white precipitate that may cause
high NVR results. If this interference is suspected, the isopropyl alcohol can be removed from the filter by
transferring 15 to 25 mL of demineralized water to the filter reservoir and filtering the demineralized water by
vacuum or pressurizing the reservoir with oil-free air or nitrogen before proceeding to step B.9.7.
B.9.7 Transfer 200 mL of homogenized NOC to the filter reservoir.
B.9.8 Filter the homogenized NOC at less than 50 mL/min by vacuum or by pressurizing the reservoir with oil-
free air or nitrogen. Very little pressure differential (less than 5 psid) will be required to obtain the desired filtration
rate. DO NOT EXCEED A FILTRATION RATE OF 50 MILLILITERS PER MINUTE.
B.9.9 Transfer 100 to 110 mL of demineralized water to the filter reservoir to wash the filter and reservoir of
residual NOC.
B.9.10 Filter the demineralized water at less than 50 mL/min by vacuum or by pressurizing the reservoir with
oil-free air or nitrogen. Very little pressure differential (less than 5 psid) will be required to obtain the desired
filtration rate. DO NOT EXCEED A FILTRATION RATE OF 50 MILLILITERS PER MINUTE.
B.9.11 Remove the filter, place in a petri dish, and dry with petri dish cover ajar in an oven at 131 to 140 °F (55
to 60 °C) for 20 to 30 minutes.
B.9.12 Remove the petri dish with filter from the oven, transfer the filter to an ambient temperature petri dish,
and allow it to cool with the cover ajar for at least 2 minutes.

APPENDIX B
w/ Change 1
B.9.13 Weigh the filter to the nearest 0.1 mg; preferably to the nearest 0.05 mg.
B.10 Calculations.
B.10.1 Calculate the baseline (before use) NVR in NOC by subtracting the initial weight of the filter (step
B.9.2) from the final weight of the filter (step B.9.13) after filtering new-unused NOC. Record the weight difference
in mg. Multiply the weight difference by five, and record as baseline (before use) mg/L NVR in NOC.
B.10.1.1 Perform a baseline analysis for each lot or batch of NOC. The term lot or batch refers to the
manufacturing lot or batch numbers identified on each container of NOC. Where multiple containers have the same
lot or batch number, only one container needs to be sampled. For cleaning applications using multiple containers
with different lot or batch numbers, either the average of the different baselines or the lowest of the different
baselines shall be used when determining final NVR in NOC.
B.10.1.2 When determining baseline NVR in new-unused NOC, step B.9.4 may be deleted, and
unhomogenized NOC may be used in step B.9.7.
B.10.2 Calculate the post-cleaning (after use) parts per million (ppm) above baseline NVR in NOC as follows:
B.10.2.1 Subtract the initial weight of the filter (step B.9.2) from the final weight of the filter (step B.9.13) after
filtering used NOC. Record the weight difference in mg. Multiply the weight difference by five, and record as
post-cleaning (after use) mg/L total NVR in NOC.
B.10.2.2 Subtract the baseline (before use) NVR (from stepB.10.1) from the post-cleaning (after use) total
NVR (from step B.10.2.1). Record the difference as post-cleaning (after use) mg/L above baseline NVR in NOC.
B.10.2.3 Convert mg/L to ppm by dividing mg/L (from step B.10.2.2) by 1.075 (the average density of NOC in
use) and record as ppm above baseline NVR in NOC.

TEST PROCEDURE FOR SOLVENT EXTRACTION OF AN AQUEOUS INORGANIC CLEANER
C.1 SCOPE
C.1.1 Scope. This appendix is a mandatory part of the standard. The information contained herein is intended
for compliance. This appendix provides a procedure for solvent extraction of inorganic aqueous Navy oxygen
cleaner (NOC) or tri-sodium phosphate (TSP) cleaning solution. The solvent extract is subsequently analyzed for
hydrocarbon oil and grease or non-volatile residue.
C.2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
This section is not applicable to this appendix.
C.3 PROCEDURE
C.3.1 Summary of test method. The solvent extraction is performed by serially extracting a 500 mL
homogenized sample of NOC or TSP with three 160 mL volumes of CFC-113 or HCFC-225 if analyzing for non-
volatile residue (NVR) by gravimetric, or serially extracting a 100 mL homogenized sample of NOC or TSP with
three 30 mL volumes of CFC-113 solvent if analyzing for hydrocarbon oil and grease by infrared
spectrophotometry. Extracts analyzed for NVR are subsequently diluted to 500 mL, while extracts analyzed for
hydrocarbon oil and grease by infrared spectrophotometry are subsequently diluted to 100 mL.
C.4 Significance and use.
C.4.1 NOC in accordance with MIL-DTL-24800 and TSP in accordance with O-S-642 are aqueous inorganic
solutions that generally contain less than 1 ppm solvent extractable material. NOC and TSP remove industrial oils
and greases by displacement with the resultant removed insoluble contaminants existing as a suspension. When
mixed with a solvent, the solvent extracts the oil and grease for post hydrocarbon oil and grease or NVR analysis
depending upon the solvent used. Since HFE-7100 has marginal hydrocarbon solvency, it cannot be used for
extraction.
C.4.2 All NAVSEA halogenated solvents are denser than NOC or TSP solutions so the solvent will settle to the
bottom of a separatory funnel during an extraction process.
C.4.3 This test method does not acidify the NOC aqueous sample to a pH of 2 or less like common waste water
analyses. Soluble organic materials that would be detectable when acidifying to a pH of 2 are easily detected as a
stable foam when performing the shake test as specified in 5.13.2.2.
C.4.4 The homogenizing process cleans oil and grease from the sides of the sample container and equally
distributes insoluble oil and grease through the sample as a fine emulsion. This ensures that samples drawn from the
original 500 to 600 mL sample are representative.
C.4.5 During the extraction process, small quantities of aqueous cleaner solution will be captured by the
solvent. The non-volatile inorganic constituents of the captured aqueous cleaner can interfere with subsequent NVR
analyses. This interference can be avoided by establishing a baseline NVR analysis of the aqueous cleaner.
C.5 Apparatus.
a. Laboratory homogenizer with 500-1000 watt motor power with a no load speed control of 10,000 to 30,000
revolutions per minute (rpm), and a 20 millimeter diameter saw-tooth generator capable of homogenizing a 1 liter
sample into a 1-5 micrometer emulsion at about 7,500 rpm loaded speed. Suitable homogenizers and generators are
available from Omni International Inc., 6530 Commerce Court, Gainesville, VA (800)776-4431, homogenizer part
number GLH-115 and generator part number G20-195ST; or PRO Scientific, PO Box 448, Monroe, CT (203)452-

a. A 500 to 600 mL NOC or TSP sample shall be collected for hydrocarbon or NVR determination. The
sample bottles used to collect the sample shall have been cleaned as specified in C.8.
b. A 500 mL sample of homogenized NOC or TSP will be used when performing a solvent extraction for post
NVR analysis by gravimetric.
c. A 100 mL sample of homogenized NOC or TSP will be used when performing a solvent extraction for post

D.3 PROCEDURE
D.3.1 Summary of test method. The concentration of non-volatile organic residue in solvent is determined to
be less than, equal to, or greater than the established acceptance criteria by serially evaporating 0.5 mL of solvent in
a specially machined dish and measuring the OSEE of the dish using a Surface Quality Monitor (SQM). The
amount of solvent evaporated is determined by whether or not the baseline is applied. If the baseline is not applied,
acceptance criteria of 5 ppm or less is determined by evaporating 1.5 mL of solvent and comparing to the result of
1.5 mL of 5 ppm standard. If the baseline is applied, acceptance criteria of 5 ppm above baseline is determined by
evaporating 1.5 mL of solvent and comparing to the result of 1.5 mL of unused solvent (baseline), followed by 1.5
mL of 5 ppm standard.
D.4 Significance and use.
D.4.1 The quantitative cleanliness standard for systems cleaned as specified in this standard generally applies
to hydrocarbon non-volatile residues. However, this method does not differentiate between hydrocarbon based
products (such as TEP 2190 oil) and fluorocarbon based products (such as Krytox 240AC grease). Additionally, this
method is not sensitive to small quantities of particulate.

D.4.2 The specially machined dishes concentrate the sample to a small area that is within the focal point of the
ultraviolet light source used by the SQM. The theory of OSEE is that some very clean surfaces, such as stainless
steel, illuminated by an ultraviolet light source will emit electrons from the surface that are measurable in the form
of current. As the surface is contaminated, the electron emission decreases reducing the measured current. An
exception to this rule is that in rare instances, such as some surfactants, the current can increase. Properly machined
and cleaned evaporating dishes will measure similarly. Likewise, properly machined and cleaned evaporating
dishes when uniformly contaminated with a known standard will also measure similarly. Therefore, comparing the
results from a 5 ppm standard (with or without baseline) to the results of effluent or waste solvent can be used to
quantitatively determine a go-no-go acceptance criteria. However, the electron emission is not linear, and therefore,
empirical determination of the exact quantity of non-volatile organic residue cannot be determined by this method.
Also, if the current increases more than an established amount, it is an indication that a contaminant other than oil
and grease is present, which is considered a failure requiring recleaning.
D.4.3 Baseline can be applied as specified in Table X. The acceptance criteria of 5 ppm above baseline is
established by evaporating 1.5 mL of unused solvent (baseline) followed by 1.5 mL of 5 ppm standard. The effluent
or waste solvent is comprised of the unused solvent contaminated with as much as 5 ppm, therefore, only 1.5 mL of
this solvent is needed for the analysis.
D.4.4 This analysis method uses three different laboratory standards: 7.80 mg TEP 2190 oil in one liter of
CFC-113 or HCFC-225 solvent, and 1.75 mg Krytox 240AC grease in one liter of HFE-7100 solvent. Each standard
is applicable only to the solvent used during the actual cleaning process, except HCFC-225G and HCFC-225M can
be used interchangeably as standards, and will hereafter be referred to as HCFC-225. Consistent with previous
practice, all laboratory standards are normalized to the measured response from 5 ppm hydrocarbon oil in solvent.
For the HFE-7100 standard, Krytox 240AC grease was used as the contaminant because of its solvency in HFE-
7100. However, Krytox 240AC grease has a higher sensitivity to OSEE, and therefore requires less contaminant to
produce a measured response equivalent to 5 ppm hydrocarbon oil.
D.5 Apparatus.
D.5.1 The following is needed to perform OSEE analysis. Apparatus needed to prepare the 5 ppm laboratory
standard is not listed, but needs to be adequate to prepare the standard as specified in D.9.
a. A Surface Quality Monitor (SQM), Model SQM 200 with sensor 60262, with 0.25-inch diameter aperture
installed, for measuring residue on the evaporating dish by OSEE. The instrument can be purchased from Photo
Emission Tech., Inc., (805) 499-7667. Note that “Surface Quality Monitor” is a trade name. However, since it is
the only instrument of its kind capable of performing this type of analysis and is patented, the trade name is
commonly used.
b. Evaporating dishes manufactured per Figure 4. With a vibro-etch tool or equivalent, mark the side of each
dish with a letter or number to uniquely identify each dish.

FIGURE 4. Cross-sectional view of evaporating dish.
c. A hot plate adjustable to about 90 and 100 °F with an accuracy of ±5 °F. Note that many hot plates are not
adjustable to these low temperatures, they don’t provide adequate accuracy, and adjustable plates with digital
temperature readout are costly. An acceptable hot plate is Corning catalog number 440918 available from
laboratory supply houses such as Fisher Scientific. This hot plate has a remote control that provides the required
adjustability. Rather than a digital readout of temperature, it provides a digital readout of the heat setting to the
nearest 0.1, with a maximum setting of 10. Many hot plates are only adjustable in increments of 1, with a maximum
setting of 10.
d. A washing bottle used for spraying solvent for final cleaning of glassware and displacing water from the
evaporating dishes. The bottles must not extract organics and must be compatible with the solvent, such as Teflon
or glass. An acceptable washing bottle is VWR Scientific catalog number 16651-880.
e. Glass pipet with a capacity of 0.5 mL for measuring laboratory standard. Suitable pipets are available from
laboratory supply houses such as Fisher Scientific or VWR Scientific.
f. Pipet filler/dispenser. Fisher Scientific catalog number 13-683B is acceptable.
g. Glass beaker with a capacity of 10 mL for transferring laboratory standard to evaporating dishes. The
small size is necessary to minimize solvent evaporation. Other suitable beakers are available from laboratory supply
houses such as Fisher Scientific or VWR Scientific.
h. Non-abrasive, heavy-duty, reinforced paper towels for cleaning evaporating dishes. Kimberly-Clark P/N
34865 available from Fisher Scientific catalog number 06-666-14A is acceptable. If available, stock number 7920-
00-823-9773 per A-A-1432, Type IV, is acceptable.
i. A clean container for mixing detergent for cleaning evaporating dishes. An appropriate size is about 5½
inches square and 3 inches deep with an open top. This size allows use of minimum cleaner and adequate access for
cleaning by hand. Any commercially available type is acceptable.
j. A thermometer capable of reading a surface temperature of 90 and 100±2 °F.

k. Equipment for performing maintenance on the SQM. For checking the ultraviolet lamp intensity, a
research radiometer, model IL1400 and a detector at 185 nm, model SEL185 both available from International Light
(978) 465-5923, and additionally, an adapter, part number 10528, available from Photo Emission Tech., Inc. (805)
499-7667. For checking the sensor electronics, a calibration load model #60054 available from Photo Emission
Tech, Inc. (805) 499-7667.
D.6 Reagents.
D.6.1 The following are required to prepare 5 ppm laboratory standards in a chemistry laboratory:
a. New, unused NAVSEA approved halogenated solvent that will be used as the cleaning solvent is required
to prepare laboratory standards (i.e., if HFE-7100 will be used as the cleaning solvent, then HFE-7100 must be used
to prepare the laboratory standard).
b. MS2190-TEP, MIL-PRF-17331, if preparing the HCFC-225 or CFC-113 laboratory standards.
c. Krytox Grease DuPont 240AC, MIL-PRF-27617 if preparing the HFE-7100 laboratory standards.
D.6.2 The following are required to perform OSEE analysis of solvent:
a. Sparkleen available from Fisher Scientific, catalog number 04-3204 (3.25 pounds per box). Prepare the
Sparkleen cleaning solution in a container (D.5.1(i)) by diluting with tap water per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Use of other cleaners is not allowed. Disposal shall be in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
b. Tap water.
c. New, unused NAVSEA approved halogenated solvent as specified in 4.4 is needed to final clean glassware
and rinse evaporating dishes. New, unused NAVSEA approved halogenated solvent is also required to prepare
laboratory standards.
D.7 Samples. The following samples are required for analysis:
a. If baseline applies, a sample of new-unused solvent of not less than 20 mL shall be collected from each
container or drum of each lot or batch.
b. A sample of solvent used as a final cleaning solvent shall be not less than 20 mL in a glass bottle with a
screw cap having a Teflon liner.
D.8 Preparation and maintenance of apparatus.
D.8.1 Setting hot plate temperature.
D.8.1.1 For the hot plate of D.5.1 (c), adjust the rheostat and measure the surface temperature of the hot plate
using the thermometer of D.5.1 (j). Continue adjusting until the desired temperature (85 to 90 °F for CFC-113 or
HCFC-225 or 90 to 100 °F for HFE-7100) is attained and stays below the maximum specified temperature for 10
minutes. Note the digital readout for each of these temperatures (e.g., 0.2 may equate to 90 °F and 0.3 may equate to
100 °F). For subsequent use of this hot plate, the hot plate can be set using the digital readout and measurement of
temperature is not necessary. The hot plate shall be checked every 3 months.
D.8.2 Set up SQM.
D.8.2.1 Turn the power to the control unit OFF. Inspect the sensor to confirm that the manufacturer installed a
0.25-inch diameter aperture. The aperture is needed so that only the horizontal surface at the center of the dish in the
evaporating area is measured.
CAUTION 1: During installation, the person installing the aperture MUST be grounded. Electrostatic
discharge can damage the sensor electronics. At a minimum, wear a properly grounded conductive wrist strap. Also
during installation, handle the apertures with the tweezers provided to prevent contamination that can seriously
degrade sensor performance.
If it was not installed, following the manufacturer’s instructions, install the 0.25-inch diameter aperture on the
sensor.

APPENDIX D
w/ Change 1
D.8.2.2 With the dish next to (not directly under) the sensor, set the sensor so that it is slightly below the top of
the evaporating dish. This setting will provide minimum movement of the sensor when sliding the dish under it.
The micrometer reading is not important and can be changed provided that the sensor is set slightly below the top of
the evaporating dish so that it will sit flush on the dish when taking a reading. For information, the micrometer on
the stand can be used to set the sensor at a specified distance from the bottom of the stand. The purpose of this is to
provide a means of attaining a consistent standoff distance from the sample being measured. The sensor can be
moved up from this point, but when moved back down, it will end up at this point. The application in this appendix
is different in that when taking a reading, the sensor is moved up, the dish is placed under the sensor, and the sensor
is placed directly on the dish. Setting the sensor directly on the dish provides consistent standoff distances for each
reading and allows the dish to be aligned with the sensor.
D.8.2.3 Install all connections per the manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE 1: Erratic readings may be attributed to a fluctuating power supply, such as a cycling hot plate in the
same receptacle. This should be avoided if possible.
Turn the power ON. Once the power switch is turned ON, it takes approximately 15 seconds before the
software boots up and the display comes to life and it takes 15 minutes for the control unit to warm up. To adjust
the control unit settings, the SELECT button is used to cycle the display, and the UP and DOWN buttons are used to
change the settings. An explanation of each item and the required setting is as follows:
1. SIGNAL: This is the initial power-on screen. The display should show a number with the word “signal”
beneath it. If the words “GND SAMPLE” appear, the sample is not properly grounded. For this analysis, since the
evaporating dish is placed on the sensor stand, plugging the sensor stand into the monitor will properly ground the
sample (i.e., the evaporating dish). Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for making this connection. The signal
is the real-time reading and does not represent the peak. This mode is not used while taking measurements for this
procedure.
2. PEAK: The peak detect mode will search for the maximum OSEE signal and display it. This is the mode
used for taking measurements throughout this procedure. Each reading taken per this manual is a peak reading. The
units on the display are “centi-volts”. Because this unit of measure is not common, the term “counts” will be used,
and is commonly used by the manufacturer.
3. LOW GATE: The low gate setting can be adjusted to indicate when a reading is below established
acceptance criteria. When the reading is below the low gate setting, the display will show the counts and the
message “OUT LOW”. This setting is not required or used in this procedure. Using the UP/DOWN buttons, set the
low gate to 0 count to inactivate it and avoid confusion.
4. HIGH GATE: The high gate setting can be adjusted to indicate when a reading is above established
acceptance criteria. When the reading is above the high gate setting, the display will show the counts and the
message “OUT HIGH”. This setting is not required or used in this procedure. Using the UP/DOWN buttons, set the
high gate to 1000 counts to inactivate it and avoid confusion.
5. GAIN: The gain amplifies the signal, which can be interpreted as a multiplier for the output. There are two
gain settings available, one on the sensor and the other on the control unit.
a. Sensor Gain. On the sensor, the gain setting is indicated by the number (on the outer ring of the rotary
switch) opposite the dot (on the inner ring of the rotary switch). The available settings, from lowest to highest, are
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0. Using the tool provided, set the sensor gain to 4. No further adjustments of the sensor
gain will be made throughout this procedure.
b. Control Unit Gain. On the control unit, the available gain settings are 1, 2, 4, and 8. Using the UP/DOWN
buttons, set the gain to 4. This is a starting point and will be adjusted at the control unit as needed for the
evaporating dish. Each increase in gain will double the output, and each decrease will halve the output.
6. TIME DELAY: This is a standard feature on newer instruments. Time delay is the amount of time that
elapses before a reading is taken (readings are taken in manual mode using ENTER button or automatic mode using
Threshold for Peak as described below). Time delay can be set from 1 to 120 seconds. Using the UP/DOWN
buttons, set the time delay to 1.
64
MIL-STD-1330D(SH)
APPENDIX D
w/ Change 1
7. THRESHOLD FOR PEAK: It displays the Threshold for Peak setting. Using the UP/DOWN buttons, set
the Threshold for Peak to 1000 counts. The Threshold for Peak automatically triggers a peak search when the signal
is cycled below this value. For instance, suppose that the Threshold for Peak is set at 30 counts, and that an
evaporating dish is measured at 600 counts. When the dish is taken away from the sensor, the signal needs to
decrease below 30 counts to initiate a search for a new reading. As long as it goes below 30 counts, when another
dish is placed under the sensor, the unit will automatically search for a new peak. If it does not drop below 30
counts, a search for a new peak will not be initiated. Using the automatic mode can cause erroneous results for the
use specified in this appendix. This is because the automatic peak search occurs very quickly and the dish or sensor
may not be in place when the peak search is initiated. To force use in the manual mode, the Threshold for Peak is
set at 1000 counts. This will essentially inactivate the automatic feature and a peak search will begin when the
ENTER button is pressed.
8. SAVE CURRENT PARAMETERS: This screen will only be displayed if any of the preceding parameters
were changed. Press the ENTER button to save changes.
D.8.3 Maintenance of SQM. Check the SQM UV lamp intensity, sensor electronics, and control unit
electronics every six months using the following procedure and equipment listed in D.5.1(k), or by sending the
entire unit (control unit and sensor) to the manufacturer. Log all results in data sheets 1 and 2. If the manufacturer
performs the check, obtain the data and log in data sheets 1 and 2. Annotate any corrective action required in the
Remarks column.
D.8.3.1 Sensor electronics.
D.8.3.1.1 Turn the SQM control unit ON. Allow 15 minutes to warm up. Confirm the monitor is in SIGNAL
mode.
D.8.3.1.2 Set the gain settings on the sensor and control unit to the settings used last time acceptance criteria
were established for dishes.
CAUTION 2: When removing the sensor, do not touch the aperture on the end of the sensor. Contamination
can seriously degrade performance.
WARNING 1: Do not look directly into the ultraviolet light source at the end of the sensor because it can cause
eye damage.
D.8.3.1.3 Remove the screws holding the sensor in the stand and remove the sensor.
D.8.3.1.4 Place the Calibration Load (D.5.1(k)) at the end of the sensor. In order to read the calibration load, it
needs to be held steady to yield stable readings. After the reading stabilizes, log the reading in data sheet 1.
D.8.3.1.5 Using the tool provided, increase the sensor gain by one unit from the setting of D.8.3.1.2 and repeat
D.8.3.1.4.
D.8.3.1.6 Using the tool provided, decrease the sensor gain by one unit from the setting of D.8.3.1.2 and repeat
D.8.3.1.4.
D.8.3.1.7 Referring to data sheet 1, for each set of gain settings, compare the first and last reading. If the
reading drops by more than 5 percent, send the entire unit to the manufacturer for servicing. Note the first reading
establishes the acceptance criteria and there is nothing to compare to. Also note that if the gain settings used for
establishing acceptance criteria changed from the last time this calibration was accomplished, there will not be data
to compare to for all of the readings; this is acceptable. When it gets returned from the manufacturer, repeat
D.8.3.1.1 through D.8.3.1.7. This becomes the first reading.
D.8.3.1.8 Restore the gain settings on the sensor and control unit to the settings noted in D.8.3.1.2. Reinstall
the sensor using the screws removed in D.8.3.1.3 and set the sensor per D.8.2.2.
D.8.3.2 UV lamp intensity.
D.8.3.2.1 Turn the SQM control unit ON. Allow 15 minutes to warm up.

D.8.3.2.2 Connect the detector to the radiometer. The orientation of the electrical connection makes no
difference. Turn the radiometer ON. With the cap installed on the detector for the radiometer, press the ZERO key.
When turned off, batteries retain the zero reading in the memory. If the memory is lost, repeat this step.
D.8.3.2.3 Loosen the screws holding the sensor in the stand so that the sensor can slide relative to the mounting
bracket. Remove the cap from the detector. Place the adapter (D.5.1(k)) on the end of the sensor, and place the
detector beneath the adapter. Slide the sensor down so that everything rests on the stand.
D.8.3.2.4 Press the SIGNAL key on the radiometer to measure the UV light intensity and log in data sheet 2.
Move the detector away from the adapter, then again place it beneath the adapter to take a repeated reading. Take a
total of 10 readings and log in data sheet 2. Add the readings and divide the total by 10 to calculate the average and
log in data sheet 2. A variance in readings of 5 percent is possible because it is difficult to consistently measure
ultraviolet light intensity. As the UV light intensity decreases over time, the light emitted from the surface, and all
of the readings, will drop accordingly. Comparison of the established acceptance criteria for a dish and the UV light
intensity can account for a drop in the established acceptance criteria. Over several years, the gain settings may
need to be adjusted to account for this decrease in readings. The UV light intensity should decrease linearly by a
maximum of 30 percent over a period of 5000 hours. If it exhibits a greater decrease in less hours or exhibits a rapid
drop in UV lamp intensity, contact NAVSEA for direction.
D.8.3.2.5 Turn the radiometer OFF. Replace the cap on the detector. Disconnect the detector from the
radiometer. Tighten the screws holding the sensor and set the sensor per D.8.2.2.
D.8.3.3 Control unit electronics.
D.8.3.3.1 Turn the SQM OFF and unplug the sensor from the rear of the control unit.
NOTE 2: After turning the SQM OFF, it takes about 15 to 30 seconds for it to boot down properly. If it is
turned ON before it is booted down properly, the display will not come on. If this occurs, turn it off, wait about 30
seconds, then turn it on again.
D.8.3.3.2 Wait about 30 seconds, then turn the SQM ON. There will be an error message stating “CONNECT
SENSOR-TURN POWER OFF 1ST”. Press the ENTER key to eliminate this error message. Set the GAIN on the
control unit to 1. Allow 15 minutes to warm up.
D.8.3.3.3 Observe the reading and log in data sheet 2. If the reading is 5 or less, no action is required. If the
reading is more than 5, send the control unit to the manufacturer for adjustment and calibration.
D.8.3.3.4 Restore the gain settings on the control unit to the setting noted in D.10.1.5.
D.8.3.3.5 Turn the SQM OFF and plug the sensor in the rear of the control unit. Wait about 30 seconds, then
turn the SQM ON.
D.8.4 Safety precautions.
D.8.4.1 When handling CFC-113, HCFC-225, or HFE-7100, the safety precautions specified by the material
safety data sheet (MSDS) and 4.4.1.2 shall be followed.
D.8.4.2 When handling Sparkleen, follow the safety precautions specified by the material safety data sheet
(MSDS).
D.8.5 Cleaning of equipment.
D.8.5.1 Rinse the pipet and washing bottle with unused solvent. Clean the beaker with Sparkleen (soaking for
one hour, then agitating by shaking has been shown to be effective), rinse with water several times, and final clean
with unused solvent.

D.9.1 Preparation. All laboratory standards shall be prepared, analyzed, and packaged by a certified laboratory.
Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility laboratory is certified and can provide the
standards. Using the solvent specified by the user that will be used as the cleaning solvent, the preparation and
analysis requirements for the standard are given in Table D-I. Large quantities of standard can be prepared,
provided that the proportion of oil to solvent is as specified. Transfer the standard to 20 mL vials suitable for
shipping and long-term storage. Vials from Fisher Scientific catalog number 05-719-110 are acceptable. Attach a
sticker and mark the solvent level on each vial with a pen. Each container of laboratory standard shall be marked or
tagged with a batch number traceable to the laboratory results. Store in a cool, dry, dark place until shipped.
D.9.2 Use of standard. Multiple containers with the same batch number are considered the same standard for
comparison purposes. Considering that each container holds around 20 mL, ensure that if multiple containers are
used for comparison, they are requested at the same time and are of the same batch. Store containers in a cool, dry,
dark place where they can not tip over and break, such as a designated storage locker or refrigerator.

are summarized in Table D-II. The clean dish and 5 ppm acceptance criteria shall be established for a new dish,
every six months after performing equipment maintenance specified in D.8, and whenever the need is identified
during routine analysis (Section D.11). Normal aging of a dish and the sensor will require periodic determination of
dish acceptance criteria. If baseline applies, the 5 ppm acceptance criteria is required for each batch or lot of
solvent.

D.10.1 Clean dish acceptance criteria.
NOTE 3: If a dish has been in long-term storage in excess of one year, it may be necessary to remove a thin
corrosion layer. This can be accomplished by applying a small amount of polish with a cotton or foam-tipped swab
and rubbing gently for 1 minute. The recommended polish is available from Buehler, 1-800-283-4537, Buehler
Master Polish Suspension, catalog #40-6375-032.
D.10.1.1 Turn the SQM control unit ON. After 15 seconds when the system boots up, set the mode to PEAK.
Allow 15 minutes to warm up. Check that the control unit gain setting is at 4 for a new dish, or the previous gain
setting recorded on data sheet 3.
D.10.1.2 Using Sparkleen cleaning solution (D.6.2(a)) in a container (D.5.1(i)), THOROUGHLY clean the
evaporating dish by scrubbing by hand using a paper towel (D.5.1(h)) for about one minute. Rinse
THOROUGHLY, for about 20 to 30 seconds, under running tap water. Shake off excess water.
NOTE 4: Do not touch the inside surface after cleaning and do not dry the inside surface with a towel or cloth.
D.10.1.3 Using the washing bottle (D.5.1(d)) filled with CFC-113, HCFC-225, or HFE-7100, tilt the dish and
spray it with solvent to displace the water droplets off of the dish, particularly from the flat area at the bottom of the
evaporating area. Droplets remaining near the top edge are acceptable. The solvent shall be directed into a “solvent
waste” container.
D.10.1.4 Place the dish on a hot plate set per D.8.1.1. Keep the dish on the hot plate until no solvent or water
droplets remain on the surfaces where evaporation occurs. On the flat top edge and bottom, any residual water can
be wiped with a clean cloth.
NOTE 5: Accomplish the following actions as quickly as possible to minimize the time the dish is exposed to
the UV light. Since the monitor is not sensitive to the temperatures specified in this procedure, there is no need to
allow the dish to cool before taking a reading.
D.10.1.5 Slide the dish under the SQM sensor. Place the sensor directly on the top edge of the dish. Align the
dish so that the outside of the dish aligns with the outside of the sensor. Press the ENTER key on the SQM and
observe the reading. Remove the dish. Log the reading on data sheet 3. Place the dish back on the hot plate.
a. If the reading is greater than 1000 counts (off scale), reduce the gain setting on the control unit. Do not
reduce the gain below 2. A gain setting less than 2 indicates a possible problem with the equipment. Check the
equipment by performing D.8.3.
b. If the reading is less than 500 counts, increase the gain setting on the control unit. A gain setting that needs
to be greater than 8 generally indicates a dirty dish or a problem with the equipment. Clean dish per D.10.1.2. If
this does not correct the problem, check the equipment by performing D.8.3.
c. Log the control unit gain setting on data sheet 3.
D.10.1.6 After 3 minutes has elapsed, repeat D.10.1.5 (reading #2).
D.10.1.7 Repeat steps D.10.1.2 to D.10.1.6 (cleaning #2) until two consecutive readings from D.10.1.6, using
the same control unit gain, are within the following acceptable range: the difference between the readings shall be
less than 100 counts.
D.10.1.8 The average of the two acceptable readings shall be recorded in data sheet 3 as the Clean Dish
Acceptance Criteria.
D.10.2 5 ppm acceptance criteria without baseline.
Allow 15 minutes to warm up. Check that the control unit gain setting is as specified in data sheet 3 for the dish

D.10.2.7 Check that the dish baseline cleanliness (reading #2) is within 100 counts of the baseline cleanliness
acceptance criteria recorded in data sheet 3 for the specific dish being used for the analysis. Readings outside this
range indicate a problem with dish cleanliness. Repeat steps D.10.2.2 through D.10.2.6 to check dish cleanliness.
NOTE 8: The solvent used for preparing the laboratory standard needs to be the same as the cleaning solvent
(i.e., if HFE-7100 will be used as the cleaning solvent, then HFE-7100 must be used to prepare the standard).
NOTE 9: Never transfer calibration standard from the laboratory standard to the dish using the pipet to prevent
contamination of the standard.
NOTE 10: If the standard inadvertently reaches the dispenser, the dispenser will contaminate the contents of
the pipet. If this occurs, dump the contents of the pipet into the waste solvent storage flask and fill the pipet several
times above the 0.5 mL mark with unused solvent to clean the pipet.
WARNING 2: Thermal decomposition of solvent can cause harmful vapors. As a check, feel the hot plate with
bare hand to confirm it is only “warm to the touch” prior to evaporating solvent in the dish. If it is hot, determine
the cause and correct the problem before proceeding.
D.10.2.8 For the standard prepared in D.9, if it is used for the first time that day, confirm that the solvent level
is at the last mark on the standard. If it is not, obtain another standard. Shake the standard vigorously for no less
than 15 seconds. Remove the cap from the laboratory standard. Pour approximately 2 to 3 mL of the laboratory
standard into the 10 mL beaker. Immediately replace the cap on the standard to minimize evaporative losses. Fill
the pipet with 0.5 mL of solution by rotating the filler/dispenser knob. With the dish on the hot plate, transfer this
0.5 mL of solution to the evaporating dish by rotating the knob in the opposite direction. Allow the solvent to
completely evaporate.
D.10.2.9 Repeat D.10.2.8 for a total of 3 doses (1.5 mL total) for other than instruments, or 3 doses (1.5 mL

For naval activities, the use of CFC-113 is restricted to those authorized by NAVSEA to access the mission
critical reserve maintained by the Defense Logistics Agency or reserves maintained by Naval Shipyards.
Refer to Navy ODS Advisories 95-01 and 96-01 for additional information. CFC-113 procured for gauge
cleaning shall be equivalent to MIL-C-81302, Type I. CFC-113 procured for oxygen-nitrogen producer
cleaning and field wipe shall be equivalent to MIL-C-81302, Type I or II. Recycled CFC-113 shall be
equivalent to MIL-C-81302, Type I, with the following exceptions: moisture content shall be 35 ppm
maximum; organic cleanliness shall be less than 5 ppm determined as specified in 5.13.2; and particulate
cleanliness shall be as specified in 5.13.3.2.
3/
Domestic availability of HCFC-141b is extremely limited based on the production phase-out, and there is no
mission critical reserve. If available, HCFC-141b in accordance with A-A-50427 can be used for cleaning
gauges and oxygen-nitrogen producers. To comply with environmental regulations, and since approved
alternatives exist, HCFC-141b should not be used for field wipe. Be advised that HCFC-141b is reported to
have upper and lower explosion limits of 17.7 and 7.6 percent, respectively. When purging or drying
equipment cleaned with HCFC-141b, ensure purging is performed with nitrogen and is directed to a well
ventilated area free of any ignition sources. Recognize that HCFC-141b at the lower explosive level is toxic
representing an immediate hazard to life. HCFC-141b in accordance with A-A-50427 has been satisfactory
tested for compatibility with gaseous and liquid oxygen demonstrating no ignition or flash point.
4/
HCFC-225 in accordance with A-A-59743 has been satisfactory tested for compatibility with gaseous and
liquid oxygen demonstrating no ignition or flash points, and is available as either HCFC-225G or HCFC-
225M. The recommended 8-hour time weighted average exposure for HCFC-225G is 400 ppm and for
HCFC-225M is 100 ppm. The recommended short term (30-minute) exposure limit for HCFC-225G is 900
ppm and for HCFC-225M is 180 ppm. HCFC-225G in accordance with A-A-59743 is approved for cleaning
gauges, oxygen-nitrogen producers and for field wipe. HCFC-225M in accordance with A-A-59743 is
approved for oxygen-nitrogen producers when appropriate ventilation and other engineering controls can
minimize personnel exposure. HCFC-225M in accordance with A-A-59743 should not be used shipboard, for
gauges or for field wipe because of the low allowable exposure limit.

TABLE E-I. NAVSEA approved halogenated solvents. Continued.
NOTES:
5/
HFE-7100 in accordance with A-A-59150 is approved for use to clean gages and instruments. Since HFE-
7100 has marginal hydrocarbon soil removal performance, it shall not be used as a precleaner. An acceptable
precleaner is HFE-71DE, which is a blend of HFE-7100 and 1,2 TransDichloroethylene (TDCE). This solvent
has soil removal performance similar to CFC-113. However, HFE-71DE is not compatible with gaseous or
liquid oxygen, and is more toxic than CFC-113, having a vendor recommended allowable exposure limit of
200 ppm. Therefore, HFE-71DE shall only be used as a precleaner. The performance of HFE-7100 as a wipe
solvent is dependent on the type of soil being removed. HFE-7100 is an excellent wipe solvent for
halogenated oils and greases. HFE-7100 is a poor solvent for hydrocarbon oils and greases including silicone.
6/
For critical applications, a NAVSEA approved halogenated solvent may only be used for field wipe with local
engineering approval.
7/
The only non-metallic materials listed are those common to oxygen systems. For other materials, consult the
manufacturer, local engineering, or NAVSEA. Where specific information is lacking, perform compatibility
testing as specified in A.3.1 of Appendix A.
