Difference Between Models:
The APE 1299M1 model replaces the Emery,
hydraulic type load cell with a BLH, elec-
tronic type load cell. The BLH load cellrequires a weight processor which is
mounted in a control console with other
electronic components. The APE 1299M1 mod-
el also has the capability to terminate
the pull test when the minimum pull testrequirement has been met. This eliminates
pulling projectiles from the cartridge
case if the minimum requirement is met,therefore the cartridges do not requirere-work.

list shallwith MIL-
Sound engineering practices shall be ob-served in the storage of APE. In additionto other protective measures prescribed inthis appendix, proper support of machinetools base(s) is required to prevent dis-tortion. Skids shall provide proper loadpoints for machine support members andload transfer points shall be maintainedin storage (see para C-11.c.). Equipmentmounted on wooden skids is subject tostresses caused by the warping of skidcomponents in varying humidity environ-ments. These loadingssion machinery andstructural damage maychor bolt holes (whento secure machines tochine has been located

chine bolt hold–down nuts shall be loos-ened a minimum of 1/2–inch from themachine base and the bolt threads pre-served with P–2 preservative. Other machi-ne–to-skid retention devices shall be sim-ilarly adjusted. Machines mounted onaluminum skids do not require unloadingadjustments of the hold–down bolts or oth-er retention configurations.
CAUTION
It is imperative that the ma-
chine-to-skid retention de-vices, whatever the configura-
tion, ARE properly tightenedand secured PRIOR to movement
of equipment.
a. Types of Storage. The term “con-trolled” used herein applies only to thelevels of relative humidity maintained indeterioration–retarding storage climates.
C-11
TM 43-0001-47
C-11. Storage (Cont).
(1) Controlled storage. Types ofcontrolled storage areas are as follows:
(a) Type A. Controlled humidity(CH) storage: Dynamic dehumidification,enclosed building or hutment. Relative hu-midity maintained at 50% or less.
(b) Type B. Heated storage: tem-perature-regulated relative humidity, en-closed building or hutment. Relative hu-midity maintained at 50% or less.
(2) Uncontrolled storage. Storageareas with no relative humidity control.Such spaces may be as follows:
(a) Enclosed buildings.
(b) Outdoors, under cover (shed,lean-to).
(c) Outdoors, no cover structure,or similar protection from the elements.
Outdoor storage is satisfactory for speci-fied APE items, e.g., APE 1937 and APE2074.
b. Skids, Crates and Boxes. Skids,crates and boxes containing APE shall beinspected when received. When required,complete repacking, recrating, or reskid-ding shall be accomplished prior to stor-age or shipment. However, an item onskids, or in a container, neither of whichmeets the requirements of this appendix,shall not be reskidded or placed in a newcontainer provided safe handling and stor-age is assured and carrier requirementsare met by the existing skid or container.
c. Leveling. The leveling require-ments herein are for the primary purposeof assuring that all machine support mem-bers are uniformly loaded to prevent dis-tortion of precision-alined elements. Allequipment having ways or other precision-alined elements over 6 feet long, horizon-tally, shall be maintained in a level po-sition by shimming supporting members asrequired. Leveling of equipment on wooden
skids shall be accomplished by placingshims between the skid and the machinebase when required to assure load transferto the skid, and between the skid and thefloor at the same points if the skid isnot bearing solidly on the floor. Equip-ment on aluminum skids shall be leveled byplacing shims between the skid and thefloor. In the event that equipment isstored without skidding, leveling may beaccomplished by shims between the machinebase and the floor, or by adjusting theleveling screws. If it becomes necessaryto move equipment which requires leveling,the equipment shall be releveled upon re-location (see para C-11.).
d. Aisle Space. Equipment shall bearranged to provide adequate aisle spacefor inspection and to provide adequateroom for the removal of equipment The sizeof removal aisles should be governed bythe size of equipment stored and the faci-lities available for handling. When prac-ticable aisles should be continuous topromote a straight–line traffic pattern.
e. Accessories. Boxed and crated ac-cessories and attachments shall be placedon the skid with the related equipment, ifpossible, and contact of wood with pre-served surfaces avoided. When the aboverequirements are not practicable, boxed andcrated accessories may be block-stackedseparately from the basic item, providedthey are identified to the item on whichthey belong. An appropriate notation shallbe made on the record of the item to indi-cate that such accessories are stored in aparticular location and are identified tothe item.
f. Maintenance, Surveillance, and In-spection. Equipment in storage shall befree of deterioration. This includes theequipment retained in lay–away packages asstandby-in-place, on-site and nearby. Aninspection plan, acceptable to the NICP,shall be established at each storage loca-tion. The plan shall contain provisions toinsure adequacy of equipment preservationin each of the types of storage used (seepara C-11.a.). The plan shall include in-spection of gear cases and other internalmechanisms to insure the items are
C-12
TM 43-0001-47
properly preserved and free of contamina-tion. Sampling inspection shall be per-formed in accordance with MIL-STD-105. In-spection results shall be used indetermining the frequency of inspections.Corrective actions shall be taken immedi-ately when unsatisfactory conditions arefound.
C-12. Electrical and Electronic Equipmentand Components.
Except as otherwise indicated herein, thefollowing applies for all levels of pres-ervation-packaging and packing.
a. General. In addition to the re-quirements contained in MIL–E-17555, thefollowing detailed requirements apply whenpreparing delicate electrical and elec-tronic equipment for shipment. Typical ex-amples, control panels, pendants, automat-ic machine control consoles, X–raymachines, electro-limit gages, compara-tors, machine control units and memoryunits are of such fabrication as to placethem in a separate category with respectto cleaning, preservation-packaging, andpacking. Equipment of this type dependsheavily on the integrity of the electri-cal/electronic systems which demand spe-cial care in disassembly and reassembly.This is particularly true with respect tothe many electrical conductors which in-terconnect separable components. When es-sential to preparation for shipment, han-dling, and storage, components may bedisconnected and removed from the parentmachine. Cable assemblies and conductorbundles shall be carefully removed fromconduits (when applicable) and guidedthrough routing access holes (when exis-tent) during disassembly and reassembly.In-place immobilization is preferable whenthe proper degree of protection cannot beassured. The complexity of the designs andcircuits, particularly of control panels,necessitates processing as assembledunits, using only those methods of clean-ing that will not damage delicate systemscomponents and materials. Solvent flushingshall not be used in the cleaning of elec-trical circuits. Low pressure moisture–free compressed air, vacuum cleaning, orwiping with a lint-free cloth may be used
for cleaning. Further cleaning–preserva-tion is not required.
b. Cushioning, Blocking, and Brac-ing. It is of paramount importance thatadequate cushioning, blocking and bracingbe accomplished in preparing delicateelectronic and electrical equipment forshipment. Vibration which can cause exten-sive damage to internal and external com-ponents, shall be held to a minimum. Cush-ioning, blocking and bracing shall be inaccordance with MIL–STD–1186 and MIL–E-17555. Heavy components shall be ade-quately blocked and braced or removed.Many heavy components do not have adequateinternal support to insure safe delivery.Therefore, consideration shall be given toremoving these items and shipping sepa-rately. Particular attention shall be giv-en to possible removal of heavy items,e.g., transformers and motors, which mightbreak loose and cause damage. When compo-nents are removed from the equipment, dis-connection shall be in accordance withparagraph C–6.i. and the components shallbe marked and identified to assure correctreinstallation. All screws and bolts usedto secure circuits, panels, shelves, etc,shall be tightened to prevent movement ofthe components during transportation andhandling.
c. Electron Tubes. Electron tubesshall be handled in accordance with therequirements of paragraph C-6.n.
d. Packaging. Parts which have beenremoved shall be packaged in accordancewith paragraph 3.3, MIL–E–17555. Packageditems shall be placed in containers con-forming to PPP–B-601, PPP-B-621,PPP-B-636, PPP–B–640, or PPP–C-650. Cabi-net doors shall be locked and secured withbanding conforming to QQ-S-781. Adequatecushioning shall be used to prevent thebanding from scratching or otherwise dam-aging the cabinet.
e. Packing. Each basic unit, togetherwith removed parts packaged in accordancewith paragraph C-12.d. above, shall beplaced in a closed exterior container con-forming to one of the applicable specifi-cations listed in paragraph C-12.d. An
C-13

C-12. Electrical and Electronic Equipmentand Components (Cont).
adequate amount of cushioning materialshall be applied to the top, bottom, andall sides of the item to absorb shock andprevent damage.
f. Marking. Marking shall be in ac-cordance with MIL–STD–129; additional pre-cautionary markings, e.g., “Fragile”,“Handle with care”, “This side up”, shallbe applied, as required.
g. Transportation Mode. Due to thehigh susceptibility of delicate electronicand electrical items to damage from vibra-tion and shock, these items should bshipped on specialized equipment availablefrom carriers for the movement of fragileitems . For shipment of specialized equip-ment to a user utilizing industrial levelpacking, the requirements in paragraphC–12.e. above may be relaxed at the dis-cretion of the shipped if evaluation byresponsible government personnel indicatesthat boxing or crating is not required andsafe delivery and handling can be assured.
C-13. Inspection Procedures.
The inspection of equipment shall be per-formed in a manner, and to the degree,that will assure acceptance of only ap-proved methods and materials; requirementsinclude complete inspection records. In-spection shall be performed by qualifiedpersonnel who, by training and experience,are familiar with the design, assembly,and operation of the type of equipment in-volved.
a. Inspection After Disassembly andCleaning. The equipment shall be in-spected to confirm that thorough cleaninghas been accomplished and that all damagedor missing parts have been, or are sched-uled to be, replaced. Disassembly andcleaning shall be accomplished in accor-dance with the requirements contained inparagraphs C–6., C–7., and C–8.
that correct reassembly was accomplishedafter cleaning and that all surfaces re-quiring a preservative have been treatedas required in paragraphs C–6., C-7., andC-8.
c. Inspection of Preservation-Packag-ing, Packing, Skidding, Marking, Shroud-ing, and Loading. Inspection shall beperformed to assure that all accessories,attachments, and components, have beenproperly cleaned, preserved, packaged, orinstalled on the machine on which they areused. When items are not installed on themachine, they shall be packaged in accor-dance with instructions in this standard,identified with the machine on which theyare used, and stored with the parent ma-chine when possible. Packing lists shallbe checked to insure conformance to MIL-STD-129. Inspection of the skidding, pack-ing, shrouding, and loading shall be per-formed to insure conformance to therequirements contained in paragraphs C-9.and C-10.
d. Identification of Containers. Un-less otherwise specified, all containersand packaged material shall be marked inaccordance with MIL-STD-129.
