DETAIL SPECIFICATION
FINISHES FOR GROUND BASED ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
This specification is approved for use by the Department of the Army and is
available for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Scope. This specification covers requirements for finishes necessary to
protect ground electronic equipment from the deteriorating effects of climatic conditions
encountered in military use.
1.2 Conditions and applicability. When it is felt that the finish requirements of
this document may compromise the performance of the equipment, the designer should
consider other possibilities, such as the use of compatible, inherently corrosion-resistant
materials. For example, heat dissipation requirements of equipment may require special
consideration to provide for optimum thermal conductivity. In such a case, the use of
castings, welded pieces, clad metals, etc., which reduce the number of interfaces may be
satisfactory. A prudent choice of materials in the design stage will result in fewer
finishing, corrosion, and environmental problems.
