Performance Oriented Packaging Testing of Container, Shipping and Storage, MK 732 Mod 0 for Packing Group 2 Solid Hazardous Materials

Abstract

This Performance Oriented Packaging (POP) test was conducted to ascertain whether the Mk 732 Mod 0 Shipping and Storage Container (Drawing 53711-6205246) meets the Packing Group II requirements specified by the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49 CFR, Parts 106 through 178, dated 1 October 1992. The packaged commodity used for the test was simulated weight of steel and sand weighing 7.1 kg (13.5 pounds). This represents the current maximum commodity weight. To compensate for future growth variations in commodity and/or packaging, 1.4 kg (3.0 pounds) were added. Gross weight of the loaded container was 17.0 kg (37.5 pounds). The test results indicate that the container has conformed to the POP requirements.
