4.5.6 Candlepower test.  The flare assemblies shall be 
supported in a suitable fixture with the ignition end up, and fired 
by removing the pull pin.  The candlepower determination shall be 
made in accordance with the procedures and equipment specified on 
dwgs. 9201268, 9201390 and 9201136 using the average candella 
reading taken during a consecutive burning time period of fifty-five 
(55) seconds, min. (Destructive Test) 
4.5.7 Safety clip assembly spring test.  The safety clip 
assembly shall be placed on the test gage and allowed to remain 
there for the required time.  At the end of the test period, the 
clip assembly shall be removed from the test gage and the distance 
between the ends checked for compliance with the dwg. requirement. 
The equipment used for this test shall be as specified in 4.4.4. 
(Non-Destructive Test ) 
4.5.8 Torque test of spring.  The springs shall be distorted 
the required amounts and the distortion forces recorded for 
compliance with the dwg. requirements.  The test equipment used 
shall be as specified in 4.4.4.  Springs subjected to these tests 
shall not be returned to tune lot. 
(Destructive Test) 
4.5.9 Determination of composition 
4.5.9.1 Intermediate charge and first composition. 
In lieu of 
making an analysis of each batch of intermediate charge or first 
fire composition, as applicable, a batch record shall be prepared 
for each batch produced for production use.  This batch record shall 
be used to demonstrate the actual amounts of each ingredient used to 
make the batch as specified on the applicable drawing.  In addition 
to recording composition of the batch, the batch record shall also 
be used to record and control curing time for mixtures as necessary 
prior to loading.  A batch of composition shall be the amount of 
composition used during a single work shift by a single employee or 
crew.  The batch may contain one or more mixes. When more than one 
mix is used in a batch, the exact proportion of ingredients shall be 
measured into each mix. 
4.5.9.2 Illuminant and ignition composition.  The illuminant 
and ignition composition shall be analyzed as follows to determine 
compliance with applicable drawing requirements. 
Preparation of standard.  Using stock magnesium solution prepare 
the standard using the following procedure:  Weight accurately 1.0 
gram of high purity magnesium to the nearest .0001 gram and dissolve 
in a minimum volume of nitric acid duluted one to one with distilled 
water.  Cool and dilute to one liter. 
(One milliliter of solution 
equals 1,000 micrograms of magnesium.)
