Performance Oriented Packaging Testing of 40,000-Pound Shock Test Charge Booster Container for Packing Group II Solid Hazardous Materials

Abstract

Qualification tests were performed to determine whether the in- service MIL-B-2427 wood box used for shipping and storage of 40,000-pound shock test charge boosters could be utilized to contain properly dunnaged solid type hazardous materials weighing up to a gross weight of 49 kg (108 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, ST/SG/AC.10/1 and the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49 CFR, Parts 107 through 178. The MIL-B-2427 wood box has conformed to the POP performance requirements; i.e., the box successfully retained its contents throughout the specified tests.
