Page 8 of 14 4.3 SPECIFICATION WCD 3106, ISSUE 10 QUALITY CONFORMANCE INSPECTION Quality conformance inspection consists of a series of tests and inspections that assure that raw materials and manufacturing processes are consistent and result in products that conform to specification requirements. 4.3.1 Inspection Classification a. Vendor Control (V): Requirements for raw materials such as conductor and insulation materials over which the vendor has control and responsibility. b. Process Control (P): Inspections performed on samples taken from the lots of wire or cable. Inspections may be performed on finished wire and cable or after the process which establishes the specified characteristic. The Quality Control Plan establishes the frequency of inspection based on process control data. c. One Hundred Percent (100%): Tests performed on the total length of each wire or cable. Tests may be performed on the finished product or "in process", as applicable. d. Qualification (Q): Tests performed only at the time of initial qualification or requalification. 4.3.2 Nonconforming Inspection Lots All lots found unacceptable under initial quality conformance inspections shall be reviewed and reworked in accordance with established internal procedures. 4.4 TEST METHODS 4.4.1 Bend Test (Post-Environmental) At a temperature maintained between 20 and 25C and using the mandrel and weight specified in the applicable specification sheet, attach one end of a finished wire specimen to the mandrel and the other end to the weight. The mandrel shall be rotated until the full length of the specimen is wrapped around the mandrel and is under the specified tension with adjoining turns in contact. The mandrel shall then be rotated in the reverse direction until the full length of the specimen which was outside during the first wrapping is now next to the mandrel. This procedure shall be repeated until two bends in each direction have been formed in the same section of the specimen. The specimen shall then be examined for cracking of the insulation. 4.4.2 Conductor and Shield Continuity To establish continuity, a maximum of 25 volts DC shall be applied to both ends of the wire or shield of the finished cable through an appropriate indicator, such as an ohmmeter, light or buzzer.

SPECIFICATION WCD 3106, ISSUE 10 4.4.3 Page 9 of 14 Conductor Resistance The DC resistance of the conductor shall be measured in accordance with Method 6021 of FED-STD-228. 4.4.4 Crosslink Verification When required, finished wire specimens, prepared in accordance with 4.4.4.1, shall be conditioned in an air-circulating oven for the time and temperature specified in the applicable specification sheet. The velocity of air passing the specimens (measured at room temperature) shall be between 100 and 200 feet (30 to 61 m) per minute. After conditioning, the oven shall be shut off, the door opened, and the specimens allowed to cool in the oven for at least 1 hour. When cool, the finished wire specimens shall be freed from tension, removed from the mandrel, and straightened. The finished wire specimens shall then be subjected to the bend test (4.4.1) followed by the voltage withstand test (4.4.12). 4.4.4.1 Finished Wire Preparation Two inches (51 mm) of insulation shall be removed from each end of a 24-inch (610-mm) specimen of finished wire. The central portion of the specimen shall then be bent at least halfway around a horizontally positioned smooth stainless steel mandrel of the diameter specified in the applicable specification sheet. To prevent sticking of the specimen to the mandrel, the mandrel shall be covered with polytetrafluoroethylene in the form of either a dispersion coating (preferred) or wrapped tape, provided that the diameter of the mandrel still conforms to the applicable specification sheet. Each end of the conductor shall be loaded with the weight specified in the applicable specification sheet, so that the portion of the insulation between the conductor and mandrel is under compression while the conductor is under tension. For smaller wires, both conductor ends may be tied together and loaded with a single weight that is twice the weight specified in the applicable specification sheet. This specimen, so prepared on the mandrel, shall be conditioned and tested as specified above. 4.4.5 Dielectric Withstand The voltage specified in the applicable specification sheet shall be applied between each component wire and shield, if any, for a period of 1 minute. The test potential shall be supplied from a suitable 2 kVA or larger test transformer. There shall be no dielectric breakdown. 4.4.6 Examination of Product All samples shall be examined carefully to determine conformance to this specification and to the applicable specification sheet with regard to requirements not covered by specific test methods.
