14. ABSTRACT
This TOP provides guidance for conducting sand and dust tests using an outdoor test facility. Outdoor facilities are
required when a chamber test is not feasible due to test article size and/or chamber size limitations. Two procedures
are described. One approximates the sand test guidance outlined in Military Standard (MIL-STD)-810G. The second
method is offered as an alternative and attempts to meet both sand and dust test requirements in one test; i.e., sand
and dust are mixed at concentrations approximating MIL-STD-810 test levels. This document describes some of the
instrumentation, test equipment, and data collection and processing procedures.
