Performance Oriented Packaging Testing of Container, Shipping and Storage, Mk 3 Mods 0, 1, 2, and 3 for Packing Group II Solid Hazardous Materials

Abstract

This Performance Oriented Packaging (POP) test was conducted to ascertain whether the Mk 3 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 load of 20 mm inert linked ammunition weighing 48 kg (105 pounds). This represents the current maximum commodity weight. To compensate for future growth variations in product and/or packaging, 3 kg (7 pounds) were added. Gross weight of the loaded container was 59 kg (130 pounds). The test results indicate that the container has conformed to the POP requirements.
