Abstract

Qualification tests were performed to determine whether the in- service MK 5 Mod 1 3-Inch Cartridge Tank (Dwg 300428) could be utilized to contain properly dunnaged solid type hazardous materials weighing up to a gross weight of 15.9 kg (35 pounds). The tests were conducted in accordance with Performance Oriented Packaging (POP) requirements specified by the United Nations Recommendations on the Transportation of Dangerous Goods and the Department of Transportation's Title 49 CFR and the Final Rulings published in the Federal Register, Vol. 55 on 21 Dec 90. The tank has conformed to the POP performance requirements; i.e., the tank successfully retained its contents throughout the specified tests.
