Robust Soft Textile Transfer Case for Contaminated Materials with Non-Rigid End Terminations
Abstract
The present invention applies to the field of containers used in the transport of biologically or chemically contaminated hazardous contents. Current international standards impose strict requirements on the air transport of biologically and chemically hazardous materials. Existing container solutions are designed for small samples rather than larger contents. The maximum stress and stress distributions in larger containers vary considerably based on the size, shape and wall thickness of the container. While safe shipping requirements are attainable for small scale containers at a given internal pressure; largerscale containers encounter significantly higher stresses at the same internal pressure due to the increased volume of the container.
