- ¹ These cycles were obtained from AR 70-38, 1 August 1979 (see paragraph 6.1, reference c), and essentially conform to those in MIL-HDBK-310 and NATO STANAG 4370, AECTP 230 (paragraph 6.1, references a and b). These values represent typical conditions throughout a typical day in this climatic category. "Induced Conditions" are air temperature levels to which materiel may be exposed during storage or transit situations that are aggravated by solar loading, or during non-operating situations but in an operational configuration and not containerized.
- ² Humidity control during high temperature testing is generally not necessary. Use these values only in special cases where, for instance, it is known that high levels of temperature and low humidity may adversely affect your items.
- ³ Data were originally recorded in °F and converted to °C. Hence, table data conversion may not be consistent.
