Incline impact test for shipping containers - approved Standard 1973

Book ·
OSTI ID:6830509
This method covers the following procedures for making incline impact tests on loaded shipping containers: Procedure A, to determine the ability of a container to withstand impact stresses; and Procedure B, to determine the ability of a container or interior packing, or both, to provide protection to the contents, when subjected to impact stresses. Either procedure may be used to obtain average results permitting a comparison of different designs of containers of the same size and carrying the same load. These procedures are suitable for testing various types of containers such as boxes, crates, barrels, drums, kegs, or pails made of metal, wood, fiberboard, or combinations of these materials.
