Performance Oriented Packaging Testing of Container, Shipping and Storage, Mk 211 Mod 0 and Mk 567 Mod 0 for Packing Group II Solid Hazardous Materials
Abstract
This Performance Oriented Packaging (POP) test was conducted to ascertain whether the Mk 211 Mod 3 Shipping and Storage Container 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 inert warhead section weighing 65 kg (143 pounds). This represents the current maximum commodity weight. To compensate for future growth variations in product and/or packaging, 13 kg (28 pounds) were added. Gross weight of the loaded container was 118 kg (260 pounds). The test results indicate that the container has conformed to the POP requirements. In addition, due to their similarities in design, size, and weight, this test is considered representative of qualification testing for the Mk 567 Mod 0 Shipping and Storage Containers as per the variation in Title 49 CFR 107, Sec. 178.601 h. POP Test of Mk 211 Mod 3 and Mk 567 Mod 0 Shipping and Storage Container.
