CAP SCREW

Technical Data Package

This document outlines the technical requirements and specifications for the "CAP SCREW" item (NIIN: LPTDP0085). It serves as a comprehensive guide for manufacturers and suppliers to ensure the production of material that meets stringent quality and performance standards, particularly for critical shipboard systems where failure could have severe consequences.

• Material Specifications: Adherence to MIL-DTL-1222 is primary, with specific details on style, grade, condition, size, length, thread series, and class of fit.

• Manufacturing & Design: Must meet MIL-DTL-1222 requirements, with specific guidance on heat treatment, coating, and fastener types.

• Quality Assurance: Mandates a quality system compliant with ISO-9001, ISO-10012, ANSI-Z540.3, and ISO-17025, or alternatives like MIL-I-45208 and MIL-STD-45662. Includes requirements for inspection, testing, and traceability.

• Traceability & Certification: Strict requirements for material traceability from source to finished component, including signed certifications for chemical and mechanical properties.

• Special Emphasis Material: Designated as "SPECIAL EMPHASIS material (Level I, Scope of Certification, or Quality Assured)" requiring enhanced control procedures.

• The document references various standards and specifications (e.g., ANSI, ISO, MIL-DTL, MIL-STD, QQ-N) that form part of the contract.

• Contract type, period of performance, and estimated value are not detailed in this document.

• Specific Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) items are detailed, including Inspection and Test Plans, Certification Data for Special Emphasis Material, and Test Certifications.

• Submission of certifications and test reports is required prior to shipment and acceptance.

• Not specified in this document.

• The document emphasizes the critical nature of the material and the potential consequences of failure.

• It details procedures for waivers, deviations, and engineering change proposals (ECPs).

• Includes definitions for various quality assurance and technical terms.

Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Vendor Acknowledgement of K-Monel Heat Review" and outlines concerns regarding specific heats of K-Monel material (NiCuAl alloy) that may not meet mechanical property requirements per QQ-N-286. A process change in 1994 by Special Metals Corporation resulted in non-homogeneous aluminum content in the toe of the ingot, potentially leading to yield strengths below the specified minimums. Eighty suspect heats are identified in Table I.

Vendors are instructed to review their inventory of K-Monel material against the suspect heat numbers listed. They are prohibited from providing raw stock or finished products made from these suspect heats. If suspect heats are intended for use, the contracting officer must be contacted for adjudication. The document also references QQ-N-286, Nickel Copper-Aluminum (K-monel) raw stock requirements and lists approved laboratories for slow strain rate tests.
