Evaluation of Air Transport Association (ATA-300) Container.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate an Air Transport Association Container, Type ATA-300, for possible use by Oklahoma ALC/DSP to package and ship highly sensitive, high-cost items. During free-fall drop tests, the container performed satisfactorily with regard to shock protection. However, during corner and edge drops, the container fastener sometimes came loose. Also leakage occurred during the pneumatic test on the container. Although this container did not meet Method II requirements of MIL-C-116, additional studies will be performed to determine the suitability of the container under actual field conditions. (Author)
