1. GENERAL, SCOPE, INTERFACE AND APPLICABILITY


1.1 General, This section is an integral part of MIL-STD-1399. When the
interface between the weather environment and ship/systems/equipment is under
consideration this section and the standard must be viewed as a single document.
The procedures established by MIL-STD-1399 are mandatory.
1.2 Scope, This section establishes interface requirements for shipboard
systems/equipment which are exposed to or affected by the weather to ensure
compatibility between such systems/equipment and the weather environment.
1. 3 Interface. The interface Which is the concern of this section and the
basic characteristic and constraint categories involved at this interface are
shown symbolically on figure 1 (see “Definitions” of KIL-STD-1399):

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

of heat or cold when so specified. Specific systems/equipment whose performance


will be significantly degraded by occasional excursions beyond these limits may
also be designed to tolerate such circumstances.
5.2 Interface characteristics, The interface characteristics of the
weather environment are given in table I. Values given are empirical limits f o r
design purposes.

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.

5.3 Interface constraints. The interface characteristics of the weather


environment impose certain constraints on the design of ships/systems/equipment
which are exposed to or affected by this environment. These constraints are
described in 5.3.1 through 5.3.7.

5.3.1 Compatibility. The design of ship structure and systems/equipment


which are exposed to or affected by the weather environment shall be compatible
with the interface characteristics given in 5.2. It shall be assumed that any
reasonable combination of these characteristics can occur simultaneously.
5.3.2 Air conditioning and ventiation. Air conditioning and ventilation
systems shall be designed to produce 0 the required
0
compartment ambient conditions
0
with a weather air temperature of 90 F (32.2 C) (dry bulb) and 81°F (27.2 C) (wet
bulb) .
5 . 3 . 3 H e a t i n g Heating systems shall be designed to produce the required
compartment
0
temperature conditions with a weather air temperature of 10°F (minus
12.2 C).

5.3.4 Wing Loading Ship structure and exposed systems/equipment shall


2
be
designed to withstand a wind loading of 30 pounds per square foot (lb/ft ). For
ship structure this applies to the projected area with no reduction for vertical
members because of heel.
5.3.5 Snow and ice2 loading Ship structure shall be designed for snow and
ice loading of 7.5 lb/ft . Exposed systems/equipment shall be 2designed to start
and operate properly when covered with an ice load of 4.5 lb/ft .
5.3.6 W a v e s l a p . Ship supporting structureand foundations shall be
designed for a load transmitted as a result of a wave slap of 500 pounds per
square inch acting on the projected area of that portion of equipment and
machinery, mounted on the weather deck that is located beneath a line establish-
ing for the hydrostatic head specified for weather deck design.
5.3.7 Special ship configurations. When ships are specified CO be designed
for cold weather operations (ice-strengthened ships) or for Arctic operations,
the additional design criteria specified in 5.3.7.1 and 5.3.7.2 shall apply.

(a) Heating systems shall be designed to produce the required compart-


ment air temperature conditions on the basis of a weather air
temperature of minus 20”F (minus 28.9”C).
(b) Systems/equipment installed in exposed locations shall be designed
to operate satisfactorily
0
at a minimum air temperature of minus
40°F (minus 40 C) with a concurrent wind velocity of 70 knots.
5.3.7.2 Arctic operation.
(a) Heating systems shall be designed to produce the required compart-
ment air temperature conditions on the0 basis of a weather air
temperature of minus 50°F (minus 45.6 C).
(b) Systems/equipment installed in exposed locations shall be designed
to 0 operate satisfactorily at a minimum air temperature of minus
6 5 F (minus 53.9°C) with a concurrent wind velocity of 100 knots.

(c) Topside installations shall be designed to withstand the following


fluctuating conditions:
(1) Wind - 100 knots which may reverse direction in a few
minutes; change from 0 to 70 knots or 70 to 0 knots in 4
minutes. 0 0
(2) Temperature - Change of 50 F (27.7 C) in 1 hour.
(3) Relative humidity - Change of 50 percent in 4 hours or 80
percent in 7 hours,
5 . 3 . 8 Tropicalal consideration. Certain systems/equipment may be intolerant
of even occasional excursions of temperature above the limits prescribed in table
I (also see 5.1.1) which could be encountered under some tropical operating
s i t u a t i o n s . In such circumstance the design criteria applied to the particular
system/equipment shall be modified accordingly.
6. NOTES
6.1 D e v i a t i o n s .
6.1.1 Conditions. In achieving the purpose of this section it is recog-
nized that circumstances may arise where there must be some flexibility in the
mandatory application of euviromental design constraints. During the early
stage of shipboard systems, equipment, or structure which are exposed to or
affected by the weather environment it may become apparent that significant
advantages in the overall design/operation can be achieved by deviating from the
standard characteristics specified herein. In such instance, the provisions of
the “Deviations” of MIL-STD-1399 should be followed.
6.1.2 Deviation procedure. When invoking deviations to this section,
correspondence and similar information should be submitted by the contracting
activity to the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA 552) progran manager.
