ASTM D 3332 Document Information:
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.
