Title
Standard Test Methods for Mechanical-Shock Fragility of Products, Using Shock Machines

ASTM International

Publication Date:
Apr 10, 1999

Scope:

These test methods cover determination of the shock fragility of products. This fragility information may be used in designing shipping containers for transporting the products. It may also be used to improve product ruggedness. Unit or consumer packages, which are transported within an outer container, are considered to be the product for the purposes of these test methods. Two test methods are outlined, as follows:

Test Method A is used first, to determine the product's critical velocity change.

Test Method B is used second, to determine the product's critical acceleration.

The values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

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. For specific precautionary statements, see Section 6.
