Material: The level shall be fabricated from compatible materials, inherently corrosion resistant or treated to have protection against various forms of corrosion and deterioration that may be encountered in any of the applicable storage and operating environments to which the item may be exposed. Dissimilar metals as defined in MIL-STD-889 shall be electrically insulated from one another to minimize or prevent galvanic corrosion.
Circular level vial: The circular level vial shall have a sensitivity of 20 minutes, plus or minus 10 percent, of arc for 2 milliliter (mm) displacement. The mounted vial shall be adjustable on the bracket of the support at three points. The vial shall be firmly positioned within the mounting.

When a supplier’s normal packaging will satisfy the requirements for military packaging, it may be used.
Military packaging: Each level shall be preserved and packed to protect against physical damage and deterioration in a logistic environment characterized by the following:
1. Multiple handling during transportation and intransit storage.
