4.5 Methods of inspection.
4.5.1 Wicking of sewing thread (cup test). The tent shall be tested in each of the three areas as follows:
at the peak, ridge or joining seam abutting the peaks or ridge; at an intersection of a horizontal and
vertical seam such as at an intersection of a side wall and roof; and on a roof panel seam. Suspend the
seamed section of the test fabric in the center of a 6 ± 1/8 inch diameter hoop and form a depression
with the seamed fabric in the hoop to a depth of 1 + ¼ inch. Slowly pour 500 mL of water at 77°F ±
4°F into the cupped area (depression) and observe the under surface of the fabric for water penetration.
Any wicking of water along the sewing thread, identified by a discoloration or darkening of the thread
within five minutes after water is poured, shall constitute a test failure. Water leakage through the needle
holes or between the plies of the lapped seamed fabric shall not be considered a failure.
5. PACKAGING
*5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the
contract or order (see 6.2). When actual packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD personnel,
these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain requisite packaging
requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's packaging
activity within the Military Department or Defense Agency, or within the Military Department's System
Command. Packaging data retrieval is available from the managing Military Department's or Defense
Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging
activity.
