Army tents

Frame tent M10 has been redesigned by the request of the Central Clothing Department of Ministry of Defence of Russian Federation to be able to hold substantial snow load (#164/7).

 

 

 

These tents are suitable for all year round accommodation of people in field conditions. They can hold the snow load of up to 140 kg/sq.m !!!!! , withstand the wind force of up to 48 kg/sq.m and can be used at temperatures ranging from -50 to +50 Celsius degrees.

This requirement, described in CHиП 2.01.07-85 article, has been set by the Central Clothing Department of Ministry of Defence of Russian Federation in 2008 and all suppliers had to submit «the physical strength of the frame research» report that could be conducted only by a few independent expert third party institutions.

SiF ORT did qualify to this complex task by implementing the following:

- Inclined side walls;

- Enhanced strength of the frame was achieved by implementing a combination of poles with rectangular and round profile pipes

Frame

The frame of the tent consists of poles and connectors. Each pole is equipped with two pins at both ends that go inside the connector ensuring the connection is not loose. When the build up of all frame parts is complete, the structure looks like a set of equal skeleton modules.

Outer cloth

Outer cloth is made of two types of fabric: side walls – heavy duty natural imbue canvas, roof – two different coloured sided PVC. Canvas material has natural fibbers in its base which allows a tent to «breathe» – huge bonus if one is to stay in hot warm place. In temperatures below zero, say -40, it also behaves better than any other synthetic fabric – it doesn’t crack and keeps being elastic.
The PVC roof ensures the tent doesn’t leak. All joints of the roof are properly welded on high frequency current machine, there is no stitching as it becomes one solid piece. One may flip the outer cloth inside out i.e. white PVC roof in summer time and olive green (the back side of the awning) in winter. All elements of the tent such as windows, hooks and other attachments are correctly allocated on both sides of the awning.
To ventilate the tent, one may open up windows that are equipped with mosquito netting or roll up the bottom part of the side wall (there are special hooks sewn to the awning to keep the sidewall in rolled up position)
Each tent has a sleeve at lower left sidewall conner to supply hot or cold air by air conditioner from outside

Inner cloth

Inner cloth serves as insulation for the tent. A space between inner and outer cloth creates a «buffer» that does not allow the temperature inside the tent to heat up or cool down at the same rate as outside. The fabric of the inner cloth is made of 70% natural cotton with ignite proof and germifuge properties.
Additional warm inner cloth is also included in the tent packing bag shall the tent be used in cold weather conditions.

Groundsheet
The groundsheet of the tent is maid of standard olive green PVC and has to be fastened to the inner cloth. There are special pockets (where the «leg-poles» are inserted) sewn to the groundsheet lifting it 15 cm above the ground

Guaranteed life-time of the tent is 24 months of continuos outdoor usage.

Guaranteed storage life-time is 10 years.
