Performance Oriented Packaging Testing of Container, Shipping and Storage, MK 753 Mod 0 for Packing Group 2 Solid Hazardous Materials

Abstract

This Performance Oriented Packaging (POP) test was conducted to ascertain whether the Mk 753 Mod 0 Shipping and Storage Container (DL 621 2925) meets the Packing Group 11 requirements specified by the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49 CFR, Parts 106 through 1 78, dated 1 October 1 992. The packaged commodity used for the test was a simulated Mk 125 Warhead weighing 37. 7 kg (83 pounds). This represents the current maximum commodity weight. To compensate for future growth variations in commodity and/or packaging, 3.6 kg (8 pounds) were added. Gross weight of the loaded container was 64 kg (141 pounds). The test results indicate that the container has conformed to the POP requirements. POP Test of Mk 753 Mod 0 shipping and storage container
