MIL-STD-1553 is a standard defining a local area network (LAN) originally developed for and widely used on military aircraft. This digital, command-response, time-division multiplexing network protocol is also used in many other military and commercial applications where fast, positive control is required.

Mil is the standard thickness, 4 Mil is double that, something like a freezer bag thickness and a 6 Mil bag is an extra heavy bag.

OBD II turns the MIL on when a failure occurs which could cause vehicle emissions to exceed 1.5 times their designed standard. The MIL also illuminates when a problem is detected in a component that is used as part of the diagnostic strategy for any other monitored system or component. The purpose of the MIL is to alert the driver to the malfunction so service can be performed in a timely manner.

While geomembranes come in various mil thicknesses, it can be misleading to assume that "thicker is always better" as thickness does not directly correlate across products to puncture and abrasion resistance. Liner thicknesses are determined by the project engineer based on project site specific conditions. The presence of a geotextile also can greatly affect properties (such as puncture resistance).

For rectangular wire, the formula is as follows: Width X Height X 1.273x106. For round wire, it is based upon the gauge.

Yes. We are currently on the QPL MIL-T-7928, under designation series MS17143-XX, MS20659-XXX, MS21004-XX and MS25036-XXX. Some of these parts are listed in the back of the Sta-Kon catalog. Contact Tech Support for more information.

Mil refers to the thickness of the bag. The important thing here is to know what thickness is right for your application: The cost is affected by the mil thickness - the lower the mil, the lower the cost. Again, 1.5 mil to 2 mil are standard for most applications

Mil-Dot is a 50 year old technology. The system requires a substantial investment in time to become proficient. Usually 3 to 5 months of training. At extended ranges very few mil dot users can engage targets successfully. The balance relay on guesswork. Horus is the technology of the 21st century. An individual with a triple digit IQ can learn the system in just a few hours. An individual with a double digit IQ can learn the system in one to two days.

MIL-SPEC 810 is a rating system developed to determine how well a radio will withstand the rigors of cold, heat, dropping and vibration (among other things). The designations C, D, E, and F indicate the most advanced level of certification applicable to the radio with "F" being the most recent rating. Additional information is available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIL-STD-810.

The 4/6 & 7/3 refer to the composition of the laminate, particularly the number of parts polyester versus the number of parts polyethylene. The first number indicates the parts polyester and the second number indicates the polyethylene or adhesive. The polyester provides more clarity and rigidity; thus the 7/3 material is the better grade.
