Metallic Materials Properties Development & Standardization

 ~ Formerly MIL-HDBK-5 ~

The MMPDS Handbook

Welcome to the Online Information Resource for the MMPDS Handbook

 

The Metallic Materials Properties Development and Standardization handbook, and its predecessor MIL-HDBK-5, are the preeminent sources for aerospace component design allowables.  This website is your resource for up-to-date documentation and supporting information for these Handbooks. 

 

Included on this site is information on the current and prior releases of the Handbook, specially designed tools for accessing this information, and news and documentation on activity occurring in support of the continued accuracy of this program.  Together this information forms the foundation for the critical design values used today by the most prominent members of the aerospace community.

MMPDS-03 was prepared by Battelle under contract with the FAA Willliam J. Hughes Technical Center. It is covered under U.S. Copyright and is the only current form of the MMPDS Handbook. It renders MMPDS-02, and prior published versions of MMPDS and MIL-HDBK-5 obsolete.
