MIL-DTL-83797C
4.7.14 Burst pressure (see 3.5.14). Hoses, when subjected to the burst pressure test, shall meet the
requirements of 3.5.14. Burst shall be tested in accordance with ASTM D380. The following details shall
apply:
a. Two un-aged hose assembly samples shall be subjected to the burst pressure specified in
b. Length: In accordance with ASTM D380.
c. Test fluid shall be water or oil in accordance with MIL-PRF-7808, or hydraulic fluid in
accordance with MIL-PRF-5606, MIL-PRF-87257, or MIL-PRF-83282.
d. The rate of pressure rise shall be 25,000 psi +0/-10,000 psi (17.2 MPa +0/-69 MPa) per minute.
e. The type of failure and pressure at which the samples burst or otherwise fail shall be recorded.
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the
contract or order (see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD or in-house contractor
personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain packaging
requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's packaging activity
within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or within the Military Service's System Commands.
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.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature which may be helpful, but is not
mandatory).
6.1 Intended use.. The hose covered by this specification is military unique due to its ability to
operate satisfactorily at pressures up to 1000 psi in a temperature range of -65 °F to 250 °F (-54°C to
121°C) and meet the interoperability and compatibility requirements while encountering rapid ambient
temperature fluctuations. The hose is intended for use in aircraft fuel and oil systems. This hose is not
recommended for vacuum, unless an internal support coil is used, or hydraulic impulse applications.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents must specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this specification.
b. Applicable PIN (see 1.2).
c. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
d. Shelf life requirements (see 6.2.1).
