1.0   Vibration Type I Requirements

 

      The mechanical vibration requirement for all machinery and equipment shall be as specified in MIL-STD-167-1 (SHIPS).  In addition, machinery and equipment shall withstand the effects of the Ship’s vibration without suffering any degradation of safety or capability.  Where MIL-STD-167-1 is referenced herein, the effective edition is that edition dated 1 May 1974.

 

2.0   Vibration Qualification Methods

 

      All machinery and equipment will be vibration qualified by test, identical extension, or similar extension.

 

      2.1   Test, Type I Vibration

 

            2.1.1   Equipment shall be tested to meet the requirements of MIL-STD-167 for Type I Vibration from 4 to 15 Hz.

 

            2.1.2   Equipment shall be vibration tested without the use of resilient mounts.

 

            2.1.3   Items listed in “Qualified Products Lists” (QPL’s) do not necessarily satisfy the vibration requirements contained herein.

 

      2.2   Identical Extension, Type I Vibration

 

            The request for extension shall be submitted in accordance with one of the following procedures.

 

            2.2.1   In cases where an item is certified identical to previously tested and approved item, the extension request shall identify the approved item by assembly drawing number and revision level, shall include a copy of the original test report (plus any post test report), shall identify the facility which conducted the vibration test and shall include the Government correspondence which approved the item for vibration.  In cases where the vibration approval for the item was not granted by the Government, the request for extension shall include a copy of the correspondence which approved the item for vibration.

 

            2.2.2   In cases where the design of an item is certified identical to that of an item previously approved on the basis of vibration extension, the extension request shall include all of the information required by Paragraph 2.2.1 of this specification and shall include a copy of the original extension approval correspondence.  If the original extension approval was granted by the Government, the Government correspondence granting the vibration approval shall be included.

 

            2.2.3   A Certificate of Identicality must be provided to the Buyer from the Seller when requesting an extension in accordance with the requirements of Paragraphs 2.2.1 or 2.2.2.


            2.2.3.1 The Seller shall complete all applicable lines of the Certificate of Identicality provided at the end of this specification.  Where a line is not applicable to the equipment being furnished, “N/A” shall be entered on that line.  An original copy of the Certificate of Identicality, signed by the Seller’s Engineering Manager, shall be provided to the Buyer.

 

      2.3   Similar Extension, Type I Vibration

 

      In cases where the design of an item is similar but not identical to that of a previously vibration tested and approved design, or in cases where the intended variation in service, or installation is significant from a vibration standpoint, the extension request shall include:

 

      a.    Detail drawings of the tested and untested items.

 

      b.    A copy of the approved report of the vibration test upon which the requested extension is based, and a copy of the Government correspondence which approved the original item for vibration.  If

            the item was never approved by the Government, the correspondence of the activity that approved the item must be submitted.

 

      c.    A detailed comparison of the differences in material and design showing that the untested item on its foundation has equal or greater vibration resistance than the tested item on its foundation.

 

      2.4   Extension Requests, Type I Vibration

 

            2.4.1   In those cases where extension from vibration testing is desired, a request shall be submitted to the Buyer for approval.  The request is to be submitted in accordance with the delivery schedule shown on the P.O. or 30 days after any configuration change.

 

            2.4.2   The Seller shall submit to the Buyer two (2) copies of extension requests typed in seller format on 8-1/2” x 11” paper.


3.0   Detail Reporting Requirements

 

      3.1   Test procedures require Buyer approval prior to testing.  Test procedures shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-167-1 and as outlined below:

 

      Preparation Instructions

 

      a.    The Seller shall prepare and submit a test procedure for each test to be conducted on the equipment and subsystems under his cognizance.  Each test procedure shall provide detailed plans, procedures, and requirements for testing the equipment or subsystem.  Spaces shall be provided for recording test results and completion certification.  The procedures shall be prepared containing (but not limited to) the following:

 

            1.  Title.

 

            2.  Identification number, revision and date of test procedure.

 

            3.  Identification of item(s) being tested by assembly drawing and parts list numbers and revision levels.

 

            4.  Test objectives.

 

            5.  Description of test.

 

            6.  Acceptance and rejection criteria.

 

            7.  Test configuration including a sketch or diagram of the test setups showing connection and input and output conditions.

 

            8.  Detailed step-by-step test procedures including explanation of any deviations from applicable standards.

 

            9.  Instrumentation required.

 

            10. Data to be recorded and data sheets.

 

            11. Test equipment required, identified by name, make, and model number.

 

            12. Logistics equipment required.

 

            13. Facilities.

 

            14. Operating conditions of equipment during the test.

 

      b.    If changes occur, the revised test procedure shall be submitted to the Buyer for approval.

 

      c.    Test procedures are to be submitted to the Buyer in accordance with the delivery schedule shown on the P.O.

 

      d.    Two (2) final copies of the approved test procedure shall be submitted to the Buyer prior to testing.

 

      e.    Buyer shall be notified at least 21 working days prior to the actual test date.

      3.2   Test reports shall be prepared in accordance with MIL-STD-167-1 and as outlined below:

 

      a.    The report shall contain details of the test including but not limited to, the following:

 

            1.  Test setup fixtures and special mounting, including clear photographs or sketches of each setup.

            2.  Instrumentation and calibration dates.

            3.  Required test levels.

            4.  Mode of operation.

            5.  Limiting parameters such as the number of orders of vibration for rotating equipment.

 

      b     The report shall contain inspection procedures to ensure that a satisfactory unit was tested and to determine failures, if any, that were caused as a result of testing.

 

      c.    The report shall describe test induced failures, if any, and corrective actions to the equipment prior to retest, if required.

 

      d.    The report shall demonstrate that the item was subjected to the prescribed test levels for the appropriate length of time as specified in MIL-STD-167-1.

 

      e.    The report or report supplements shall document any subsequent vibration testing, if required.  This subsequent testing would be caused by equipment or instrumentation malfunction or equipment modification resulting from test failures.

 

      f.    The modifications and the subsequent vibration testing if required, that demonstrate compliance with the purchase order requirements shall be described in detail.

 

      g.    The report shall be in the Seller’s format on 8-1/2” x 11” sheets. 

            Two (2) copies are to be submitted to the Buyer for each test.

 

      h.    Reports shall be submitted to the Buyer in accordance with the delivery schedule shown on the P.O.
