- Abstract
- The Indian Head Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head, MD, evaluated age-related performance deterioration of the Fire Extinguisher Cartridge, P/N 894846. All units fired within specification limits. We recommend increasing the Army total life limit from 144 months to the Navy's current 156 months. An increase in the current 60-month installed life limit cannot be justified because of the lack of installed time data. We also recommend that, during installation, care be taken when tightening the anchor nut of the center post.
