A solid preformed item specifically designed to produce the required propulsion effect in nonairbreathing reaction propulsion devices. It consists of all of the ingredients necessary for sustained combustion. It may be a heterogeneous mixture of an oxidizing agent and a fuel, or it may be a chemical composition which provides its own oxidizer.
Indicates there is no data in the hmirs and the nsn is in a fsc not generally suspected of containing hazardous materials.
Item does not contain precious metal.
Represents items with no adp components
The item does not have a nuclear hardened feature or any other critical feature such as tolerance, fit restriction or application.
HMIC: Hazardous Material Indicator Code. Identifies a hazardous item.
PMIC: Precious Metal Indicator Code. Identifies items that have precious metals as part of their content. precious metals are those metals generally considered to be uncommon, highly valuable, and relatively superior in certain properties such as resistance to corrosion and electrical conductivity.
ESD: Electrostatic Discharge. Indicates if an item is susceptible to electrostatic discharge or electromagnetic interference damage. electrostatic discharge damage occurs when an accumulation of static electricity generated by the relative motion or separation of materials is released to another item by direct contact. electromagnetic interference damage occurs when an item comes into proximity with an electrostatic or magnetic field.
ENAC: Enviromental Attribute Code. Identifies items with environmentally preferred characteristics.
CRITL: Criticality Indicator Code. Indicates an item is technically critical by tolerance, fit, application, nuclear hardness properties, or other characteristics.
OPI: Optional Procedure Indicator Code. A one position alpha code that indicates the allowable deviations from the prescribed requirements.
SPI No.: Special packaging instructions number.
LVL A/B/C: Indicates the type of shipping container required for level A, B, or C maximum packing protection.
SPC Mkg: A two position code that identifies the special markings applied to the container, which is part of the total pack to protect the contained item during preservation, packing, storage, transit and removal from the pack.
MOP: Method of Preservation. Preventive measures to protect from deterioration resulting from exposure to atmospheric conditions during storage and shipment.
CUSH: Resilient material or devices used to absorb and dissipate energy from shock and vibration to adequately protect the contents and packaging components from physical damage during handling, shipment, and storage.
PRES MAT: Preservation Material. Identifies the material used to prevent or inhibit corrosion or deterioration of an item.
THK: Thickness of cushioning. Minimum thickness of material used to cushion the item.
TOS: Type of Storage. Type of storage space and environment conditions to be maintained for an item during storage and shipment.
