Performance Oriented Packaging Testing of 4C1 Pop Container of Wood Box

Abstract

The U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), was requested to verify that a MIL-B-2427 and PPP-B-621 wood box meets or exceeds the requirements of the United Nations, Recommendation on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. The box was tested at the U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USADACS) by performing a drop test and stacking test. There were five drops performed at a height of 48 inches; flat on top, flat on bottom, on a long side, a short side, and a corner. The stacking test was to simulate a load on the bottom box of a stacking height of 16 feet. The container met the requirements of a 4Cl container of the Performance Oriented Packaging requirement.
