MILITARY STANDARD
VISUAL INSPECTION STANDARDS
FOR
20MM AMMUNITION AND
COMPONENTS
MIL-STD-651
FOREWORD
This standard was prepared under the direction of the Department of Defense, United
States Army Materiel Command, to be used to supplement detail specifications for 20MM ammunition and components. It replaces those parts of ORD-SIP-S315, 1 January 1952, which
cover 20MM ammunition.
This publication serves to create a military standard which evaluates and illustrates a practical majority of visual defects, assembled as a result of extensive surveys covering 20MM
ammunition and component manufacturing facilities in this country.
In general, the format retains most of the features of ORD-SIP-S315. New features include listings and illustrations of defects relative to 20MM ammunition components and subassemblies. Electric primers and primer components used in 20MM ammunition are not
included.
Component sectioning and photographic enlargement have been employed to better
illustrate some cavity defects, and certain defects of small components. Appropriate visual
inspection aids are recommended for use whenever they are helpful to cavity inspection, to
determine the presence of metal etching in stained areas, or to assist personnel in grading
"borderline" defects for penalty.
In the interest of economy, certain defects which are common to two or more models or
types of ammunition or components are referenced for comparison to a common basic illustration.

components at the various manufacturing facilities.
(b) Serve as an instruction manual in
the training of personnel engaged in
the manufacture and inspection of
20mm ammunition and components.
1. SCOPE AND PURPOSE

1.1 Scope . This standard provides a comparatve basis for judging and evaluating
visual defects in 20mm ammunition and components, M50 and M90 Series, and shall be
used as a supplement to pertinent detail specifications.
(c) Provide a basis for inspection and

evaluation of 20mm ammunition or
components subjected to extremes of
environmental storage, linking or
delinknig operations, or removal
from aircraft for reuse after a mission.
1.2 Purpose . The purpose of this standard

it to-
(a) Provide a standard basis for the inspection of 20mm ammunition and
MIL-STD-651
or life expectancy of the end item. Defects so
identified are Critical, Major, or Minor, as
classified for penalty against the lot by pertinent detail specifications.
2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
2.1 Standards.
MIL-STD-105 -Sampling Procedures
and Tables for Inspection by Attributes
3.2.3 Stain. A visible discoloration or contamination of certain metal surfaces or coatings as a result of exposure to acid, salt, or
alkali base products, moisture, and oxygen.
Any discernible degree of etching appearing
in a stained area will be reclassified and penalized as corrosion.
2.2 Handbooks.
ORD-M608-11 -Procedures and Tables
for Continuous Sampling by Attributes
3.2.4 Foreign matter. A discernible contamination or surface condition more specifically identifiable as oil, grease, dirt, chips,
stain, corrosion, or other substance alien to
the unfinished or finished item. Unless otherwise indicated, the term "foreign matter" applies equally to the exterior and interior
surfaces of cavity type components, where
only exterior surfaces are illustrated.
3. DEFINITIONS
3.1 General. Definitions of Standard MILSTD-105 or Handbook ORD-M608-11, as
pertinent, are applicable.
3.2 Specific. For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall apply:
3.2.1 Acceptable defect. A condition which,
though not desirable from an appearance
standpoint, may be permitted for reasons of
economy. Photographic illustrations of this
condition are intended to depict the minimum
degree of defect acceptable without penalty
to the lot.
4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
4.1 General. The descriptions and definitions of defects established in this standard
are of those commonly occurring. Unlisted defects which are found during the acceptance
inspection of a presented lot shall be reported.
If, in the opinion of the Government inspector, such defects affect product quality, complete information, recommendations and
request for disposition shall be submitted
through proper channels.
3.2.2 Nonacceptable defect. A condition

indicative of substandard workmanship or
material; possessing a real or potential hazard to personnel or equipment, or presenting
a hazard to normal assembling, functioning,
MIL-STD-651
referencing, the defect lists and defect photographs are grouped as follows :
