MIL-PRF-572H, PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION: CORDS, YARNS AND MONOFILAMENTS ORGANIC SYNTHETIC FIBER (13-NOV-2015) [SUPERSEDING MIL-C-572G]

MIL-PRF-572H, PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION: CORDS, YARNS AND MONOFILAMENTS ORGANIC SYNTHETIC FIBER (13-NOV-2015) [SUPERSEDING MIL-C-572G]., This specification covers organic synthetic fibers that may be used for insulation, tying, and other applications (see 6.1). Type P material is intended for applications requiring high tenacity, moisture resistance, and recovery. It is employed in lieu of silk in the finer sizes of magnet wire and cable applications. This type of material should not be used out-of-doors. Type PAA material la intended for applications requiring tenacity, modulus, or heat resistance, higher than for any of the types listed above. It may be used in contact with copper in wet or dry environments. Type VC material in monofilament form is intended for application requiring a relatively high tenacity and very high moisture resistance. Type PVCA material Is intended for cordage applications requiring a high degree of elongation and good elastic recovery. Type AR material is intended for applications not requiring high tenacity, but where use may be made of its dyeing properties, sea-water resistance, and thermoplastic properties. Type VCR material is intended for applications requiring good tenacity and ability to take a high degree or twist and where a fair degree of moisture absorption can be tolerated. This material should not be used in contact with copper under humid conditions. Type CTA material is intended for use in applications where high electrical resistivity and high moisture resistance are required. Type PSTR material is intended for use applications requiring extremely high tenacity and recovery and good cold bend properties. This material also has good resistance to aging and abrasion.
