Performance Oriented Packaging Testing of MS-27683-4 Metal Drum for Packing Group II Solid Hazardous Materials

Abstract

The MS 27683-4-H metal drum with appropriate dunnage designed for shipping and storage of various flexible linear shaped charges was tested to ascertain whether this container would meet the requirements of Performance Oriented Packaging (POP) as specified by the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. A base level vibration test was also conducted in accordance with the rulings specified in the Department of Transportation. The objectives were to evaluate the adequacy of the metal drum in protecting explosive materials which are secured with appropriate dunnage.
