MILITARY
STANDARD
MIL-STD-21O - Climatic Extremes for Military Equipment.
(Copies of standards required by contractors in connection with specific
acquisition functions should be obtained from the contracting activity or as
directed by the contracting officer.)
2.2 Order of precedence In the event of a conflict between the text of
this standard and the reference cited herein, the text of this standard shall
take precedence.
3. DEFINITIONS
3.1 Weather environment. The Weather enviroment, used in this section,
consists of air and water temperature, humidity, wind and precipitation in the
immediate vicinity of the ship.
4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
4.1 The specific interface requirements and constraints established herein
are mandatory and shall be adhered to by SYSCOMS, PMs, contractors and all others
engaged in installation (see “Requirements” of MIL-STD-1399).
5. DETAILED REQUIREMENTS
5.1 Interface characteristics constraints
5.1.1 General considerations Naval ships are designed to operate as
required on any navigable ocean in the world and to perform their assigned
mission under a wide range of weather conditions. These conditions vary with the
time of the year and area of operation. MIL-STD-210 indicates the probable
extreme climatic conditions of the natural environment to which Military equip-
ment may be exposed, and establishes uniform limits of normal design requirements
not to be exceeded for Military equipment. The values presented therein do not
necessarily represent the extremes recorded but are scientific judgement values
of climatic extremes which will not be exceeded more than 10 percent of the time
during the most extreme month. To assist with the logical design and building of
ships which will be capable of reliable, effective operations under anticipated
weather environmental conditions, it has been found necessary to establish
certain empirical limits with regard to weather factors. This section of
KIL-STD-1399 identifies those weather factors which are significant at the
shipboard weather environment interface and establishes empirical limits for
those factors which q ay be of concern in ship/systems/equipment design.
5.1.2 Special circumstances. The majority of Naval ships, systems and
effected equipment are designed to operate when exposed to the weather environ-
mental limits delineated herein. Certain ships may be designed to meet extremes

SECTION 302A
29 February 1988
Note 1. Propulsion plant components taking air from the weather, such as
gas turbine engines, shall be capable of starting and operating
satisfactorily in any weather air
0
ambient temperature between
0
minus 40 degrees0 Fahrenheit ( F)(minus 40 degrees Celsius ( C ) )
and 125°F (51.7 C) with relative humidity of zero to 100 percent.
Note 2. With respect to maximum air temperature, the heating process of
solar radiation and of radiation, conduction and convection in
conjunction with own ship generated heat and possible ancillary
effects of a mooring/berthing arrangement in port may increase air
temperatures at some locations above that of the free air.
