TM 38-260
(a)  The number of items of IPE and OPE to be inspected per year shall be such size to include a total
inventory over a 5 year period (assume static condition for each year's sample).
(b)  Items of IPE and OPE shall be scheduled for periodic inspections every 5 years. The inspection shall
include all types of items not previously inspected within the last 5 years.
(c)  Preservatives shall be removed to the extent necessary to determine if rust or corrosion is present on
the items or parts thereof. This includes boxes or containerized items.
(d)  If inspection reveals the condition of the item and its accessories/parts are satisfactory, preservatives
of the same type removed shall be applied to the bare metal areas immediately after the inspection has been completed.
(e)  In the event the periodic inspection indicates the condition of the item of IPE, OPE, attachments, or
accessories is unsatisfactory, a detailed inspection of that item shall be performed immediately.
(f)  If there is evidence of continuing deterioration, a special study shall be made to determine the
corrective action to be taken to eliminate unsatisfactory conditions. The special study will include determining corrective
action in regard to conditions causing the discrepancy, determining the extent of damage and the corrective action
required, and initiating the corrective action.
(3)  CH-detailed inspection. There is no requirement for detailed inspection of items of IPE and OPE in storage
during the first 10 years unless conditions outlined in (2) above exist.

the total inventory among all types of items. If results ,u-c unsatisfactory, a special study shall be made to correct
unsatisfactory conditions.
(b)  Detailed inspection includes the removal of all preservative materials, oils, and greases from each
selected item to definitely determine if there is any evidence of rust or corrosion. All kinds of contamination shall be
removed.
(c)  Immediately after the inspection has been completed, all items of IPE and their components,
attachments, and accessories shall be preserved for storage with the same level of protection that was applied prior to
