The certificate shall contain: a. Product description b. Description of the test equipment involved and the metrology information c. Manufacturer's name, address, and telephone number d. Manufacturer's lot number e. Product's date of manufacture f. Test company name, address, and telephone number g. Testing date h. Test technician's name and title i. All characteristic test values, paragraph 4.7 Unit of Issue - EA (Each) EXCEPTIONS TO 5100-501a: Page 2, paragraph 3.1.1, add the following to the end of the paragraph: "During the term of the contract the contractor shall be required to notify the contracting officer in writing when a component, or the component supplier changes in any way; and when a manufacturing location changes. The contracting officer may at any time require the contractor to submit a new first article sample when substantive changes occur during the term of the contract." Page 5, add the following new paragraphs (3.13, 3.14) and Figure 6: "3.13. No Load Free Rotation. The hook shall freely rotate when unloaded. Free rotation is defined as holding the swivel body horizontally, fully opening the jaw of the hook, rotating the swivel body at 10 rpm or less, and having the hook remain within a 135 degrees of vertical throughout multiple revolutions (See figure 6). This shall be done in both directions. See paragraph 6.9." 3.14. Rotation Under Load. The hook shall rotate freely under the rated load. Free rotation under load is defined as requiring no greater than 9 ft-lbs of torque to rotate the hook for one full revolution in each direction. See paragraph 4.10. for testing method. Paragraph 4.3.2, First Article, delete the contents and substitute the following: "The contractor shall make available to the Government items from which first articles may be selected. The Government will select 2 or 3 articles for inspection based on the number of items in the lot."

Hook Rotation Test Under Load. The following test is one method of meeting the requirement of paragraph 3.14, but other suitable methods may exist. Link two swivels together (hook to hook) with their gates closed. Place the connected swivels into a tensile tester whose capacity is at least 6,000 lbs. Attach a tool to one of the hooks, such that the tool will allow the application of torque on the bearings of swivels. Load the swivels to 6,000 lbs +/- 50 lbs. Attach a force meter (weight scale) to the torque application tool in such a manner as to be able to readily read the torque applied to cause rotation (attachment is suggested at 12 inches from the pivot point). Rotate the swivels in each direction for one full revolution, while monitoring the scale. The torque value shall not exceed 18 ft-lbs. Note: Since two swivels are involved it is assumed that the friction force is equal in both swivels. Hence the measured value may be up to twice the requirement of paragraph 3.14." Page 10, add the following new paragraph: "6.9. No Load Free Rotation. This test is a quality measure of the assembly process and not a bearing test."
