Standard Specification for Desk, Log, Marine, Steel, with Cabinet

ABSTRACT
This specification covers the construction of marine log desks of steel construction with cabinets that are to be provided with two adjustable shelves. Sheet metal shall be of commercial quality and the metal components shall be joined by welding or gluing with a structural adhesive to prevent racking of chest during handling. Spotwelds shall be spaced at a specific distance wherein visible spotwelds higher than the general surface of the adjacent metal shall be ground flush while visible spotweld depressions shall be spot filled and sanded flush. To prevent buckling or oil-canning, side panels shall be stiffened suitably. Sound deadening shall be vermin proof and shall be applied to back and inner face of sides of chest. A furniture base shall also be provided to secure the log desk to deck.
SCOPE
