Title
Standard Test Method for Impact Testing for Shipping Containers and Systems
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Aug 15, 1992
Scope:
This test method covers two procedures for conducting impact
tests on loaded containers or shipping units (pallet loads), as
follows:
Procedure A, to test the ability of a container or
shipping unit to withstand impacts, and
Procedure B, to test the ability of a container or
shipping unit or interior packing, or both, to provide protection
to the contents, when subjected to impacts.
Either of these two procedures may be used to evaluate 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, bags,
sacks, or pails made of various materials or combinations of
materials and for shipping units such as pallet loads or palletized
units.
The procedures described in this test method are particularly
suitable for testing large or heavily loaded containers.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as
standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical
conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and
are not considered standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use. Specific precautionary statements
are given in Note 1 and Section 7.
