MIL-C-5541 vs. MIL-STD-5541

March 31, 2009

Hello,
I need to call out a chromate conversion on a drawing. I see that MIL-C-5541 and MIL-STD-5541 both refer to chromate conversion. Which do I use in my drawing note?

Thank you.

Hi, Bob. I'm not sure there actually is a 'Mil-Std-5541' with just exactly that title, but I'd say MIL-DTL-5541 [⇦ this spec on DLA] would be best for your drawing note.

Regards,
