TOP 01-1-065, TEST OPERATIONS PROCEDURE: ACCELERATED CORROSION DURABILITY (15-OCT-2013)

TOP 01-1-065, TEST OPERATIONS PROCEDURE: ACCELERATED CORROSION DURABILITY (15-OCT-2013)., This TOP prescribes procedures for evaluating the durability of mobile equipment while being subjected to accelerated corrosion. Major factors to be considered when evaluating the effects of corrosion on mobile equipment include the intended operational environment, Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS), and corrosion monitoring methodology. Events used to accelerate corrosion and its effects include salt mist, salt splash, grit splash, high heat/high humidity, and shock and vibration input from various terrain.
