Environmental Monitoring of l20MM Tank Ammunition Transported from Iowa Army Ammunition Plant (IAAAP) to South Korea.

Abstract

Two MILVANs loaded with 10 pallets each of 120mm tank ammunition were instrumented with Event Data Recorders (EDRs) from Instrumented Sensor Technology, Inc. Each unit was capable of recording shock/vibration for the lateral, longitudinal, and vertical axis and temperature/humidity. The MILVANs transportation cycle included travel by truck from Iowa Army Ammunition Plant (IAAAP), Burlington, IA; to Concord, CA; ship from Concord, CA to Chinhae, South Korea; and rail from Chinhae, South Korea to Army Depot 11 (AD-11) at Chon-u/Chonan, South Korea. Environmental monitoring was conducted from 27 June - 19 July 1995. During monitoring, 566 shock/vibration events were experienced that met the triggering criteria programmed in the EDR and 1,354 temperature/humidity readings were collected.
