Performance Oriented Packaging Testing of Container, Shipping and Storage, for Rocket Motor, RATO, Mk 125 Mod 2 for Packing Group II Solid Hazardous Materials

Abstract

This Performance Oriented Packaging (POP) test was conducted to ascertain whether the Shipping and Storage Container for Mk 125 Mod 2 RATO rocket Motor meets the Packing Group II requirements specified by the United Nations Recommendation on the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Document, ST/SG/AC.10/1, Revision 6, Chapters 4 and 9 and the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49 CFR, Parts 107 through 178, dated 1 October 1991. The packaged commodity used for the test was a simulated load of sand weighing 10 kg (22 pounds). This represents the current maximum commodity weight. To compensate for future growth variations in product and/or packaging, 1 kg (2 pounds) were added. Gross weight of the loaded container was 16 kg (35 pounds). The test results indicate that the container has conformed to the POP requirements.
