MIL-STD-1365C
3.1.12 Inert. Lacking in activity, reactivity, or effect.
3.1.13 Load factor. A ratio which considers additional loads or forces above the static weight of an item being handled. Such additional loads or forces may be those dynamically induced by the acceleration during lifting or handling, by friction, suction (such as when a missile is extracted from its canister), or by other sources such as wind or water drag. The load factor is the ratio of the additional forces plus the static weight of the item being handled to the static weight of the item. As an example, if 200 pounds of friction or suction occurs when removing a
1,000-pound missile from a canister, the total force acting on the handling equipment is 1,200 pounds. The load factor is the ratio of the sum of the static weight and friction or suction force (1,200 pounds) divided by the static weight (1,000 pounds), or 1.2. As another example, if the cable of a crane lifting an item accelerates at one-tenth of gravity (0.1 gravity), the handling equipment is subjected to 10 percent greater load than the static weight of the item being lifted. The load factor for this example is 1.1.
3.1.14 Loading equipment. Equipment that is used to load or unload a weapon.
3.1.15 Longitudinal. Pertaining to the lengthwise dimension.
3.1.16 Mobile equipment. Handling equipment that is provided with wheels, tracks, or runners in order to travel over a specified surface, including equipment which requires either human or mechanical power to move. Equipment excluded are fork lift trucks and pallet trucks which are defined by other documents.
3.1.17 Mobility index (MI). A number which results from a consideration of certain vehicle characteristics (see
FM 5-430-00-1 and FM 5-430-00-2).
3.1.18 Munitions. Parts of nuclear and nonnuclear explosives in any case or contrivance prepared to form a charge, complete round, or cartridge for cannon, howitzer, mortar, or small arms; or for any other weapon, torpedo, naval mine, land mine, bomb, depth charge, demolition charge, fuse, detonator, projectile, grenade, guided missile, rocket, and the like; signaling and illuminating pyrotechnic materials; explosive-loaded impulse devices such as explosive bolts, squibs, and catapult charges; and dangerous chemical materials.
3.1.19 Nonmobile equipment. Equipment not meeting the definition of mobile equipment. Such equipment may use mechanical or electrical power to perform its intended function, or may not require power. Examples of the latter are slings, storage or stowage racks, and assembly stands.
3.1.20 Nonstandard part. Any part that does not meet the definition of 3.1.33.
3.1.21 Pitch (tilt). The rising and falling motion of the bow of a ship as the craft oscillates about a transverse axis.
3.1.22 Positive control. Physical restraint from uncontrolled movement in all attitudes. The load does not become disengaged from its handling equipment during any phase of a sequential handling operation, and the operation is under complete control of a human operator or operators while in motion.
3.1.23 Ram (heave). A linear travel of the longitudinal axis in the vertical plane.
3.1.24 Rated load. See "capacity".
3.1.25 Roll. An angular rotation about the center of motion of the athwart ship axis in the vertical plane.
3.1.26 Safe. Freedom from those conditions that can cause injury or death to personnel or damage or loss to equipment or property.
3.1.27 Safe working load. See "capacity".
3.1.28 Safety factor. The ratio of ultimate breaking strength or yield strength of the material from which a piece of handling equipment is fabricated to the working stress which can result when the equipment is subjected to the working load.
3.1.29 Shipment. Movement using equipment commonly available to or usable by common carriers such as railcars, ships, aircraft, barges, or trucks.
