MIL-DTL-24487B (SH)
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use.
6.1.1 Class 1 tile. Class 1 tile is intended to be installed in accordance with the procedures of
MIL-STD-2148 to damp vibrations in steel plates 0.5 inch (1.3 cm) thick or less. The grooved face of the tile is
bonded with epoxy resin to the steel plate. The grooved face enables the tile to conform easily to a curved surface.
This tile may be used in flooded spaces. If installed in submarine ballast tanks, the tile is restrained with a glass
reinforced plastic sheet, CRES studs, nuts, and washers, in accordance with MIL-STD-2148.
6.1.2 Class 2 tile. Class 2 tile is intended to be installed in accordance with the procedures of
MIL-STD-2148damp vibrations in a steel plate greater than 0.5 inch (1.3 cm) thick, but less than 0.75 inch (1.9 cm)
thick. The grooved face of the tile is bonded with epoxy resin to the steel plate. The grooved face enables the tile
to conform easily to a curved surface. This tile is normally constrained by a 0.125 inch (0.32 cm) thick aluminum
sheet bonded to the tile with the epoxy adhesive. The tile is not acquired with the aluminum sheet already bonded
to it. This assembly is not used in flooded spaces unless the aluminum constraining layer is removed. The tile and
aluminum constraining layers are installed in accordance with MIL-STD-2148.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this specification
b. Class of tile required (see 1.2)
c. First article inspection, when required (see 3.1)
d. Plan size if tile, if other than specified (see 3.4)
e. Inspection conditions, if other than specified (see 4.1.1)
f. Number of specimens to first article (see 4.2.1 (a.))
g. Packaging requirements (see 5.1)
h. Is Material Safety Data Sheet required? (see 6.7)
i. Toxicity conformance (see 3.2.1 and 6.5)
j. Is off-gas testing required? (see 3.2.2 and 6.6)
6.3 Suggested formulations for tiles. Tile prepared from the following formulations have been found to
meet the requirements of this specification. This information is offered only as a suggestion; the contractor is not
obligated to use these formulations. Use of these formulations will not relieve the contractor from having his
product tested against the requirements of this specification. Certain ingredients appear as proprietary names since
these were the specific ingredients used in the development of the tiles for this specification. It is not intended to
limit the choice of the commercial source of an ingredient or to infer that one source is better than another.
