Title
Standard Test Methods for Vibration Testing of Shipping Containers
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Oct 1, 2007
Scope:
These test methods cover vibration tests of filled shipping
containers. Such tests may be used to assess the performance of a
container, with its interior packing and means of closure, both in
terms of its strength and of the protection it provides its
contents when it is subjected to vibration such as it experiences
in transportation. These procedures are suitable for testing
containers of any form, material, kind, design of interior packing,
means of closure, and any size and weight. They are not intended
for determining the response of products to vibration for product
design purposes, nor are they intended for tests of products in
their operational configuration as other more suitable procedures
are available for these purposes.2,3
The following methods appear:
Method A1—Repetitive Shock Test (Vertical Motion).
Method A2—Repetitive Shock Test (Rotary Motion).
Method B—Single Container Resonance Test.
Method C—Palletized Load, Unitized Load, or Vertical
Stack Resonance Test.
These test methods fulfill the requirements of International
Organization for Standardization standards ISO 8318 and ISO 2247.
The ISO standards may not meet the requirements for these
methods.
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 Section 6.
