Significance and Use4.1 This test method is for use in evaluating the capability ofa container or shipping system to withstand sudden sho
10、cks andcrushing forces, such as those generated from rail switchingimpacts or pallet marshalling, or to evaluate the capability of acontainer and its inner packing, or shipping system, to protectits contents during the sudden shocks and crushing forcesresulting from rail switching or pallet marshall
11、ing impacts.This test method may also be used to compare the performanceof different container designs or shipping systems. The testmay also permit observation of the progressive failure of acontainer or shipping system and damage to the contents. SeePractice D 4169 for additional guidance.4.2 This
12、test method is not suitable for reproducing impactresulting from the switching of rail cars using long-travel draftgear or cushioned underframes.

16、00 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.5.1.1.1 No removable hazard shall be fitted.5.1.1.2 In lieu of steel wheels, wheels of polyoxymethylene(Delrin) plastic may be used in order to reduce noise andimprove shock pulse recording.5.1.2 Aprogramming material
17、 or device is required to shapeand control the shock pulse seen by the test specimen(s). Thismaterial or device may be fastened to either the backstop or theimpacting face of the bulkhead. Any material or device may beused, provided that is yields a repeatable, controllable test.Package cushionings
18、of suitable elasticity have been found tobe satisfactory.5.1.3 The carriage shall be fitted with a bulkhead at a90-degree 6 30 min (90 612-degree) angle to the top surfaceof the carriage. The bulkhead shall be fitted so that, uponrelease, either the bulkhead impacts first on the programmingmaterial,
19、 or the carriage and bulkhead impact on the program-ming material at the same time. The bulkhead shall be attachedsecurely to the carriage and shall be sufficiently rigid towithstand impact shocks without significant distortion.5.1.4 When specified, a backload suitable to reproduce thecrushing force
20、s from other products impacting the test unitshall be provided. This will necessitate sufficient carriage andbulkhead strength, as well as rigidity in the backstop, towithstand the additional forces generated without significantdistortion. The face of this backload that contacts the testspecimen sha
21、ll replicate a backload of the same product indimension, area of contact, and resilience.5.1.5 To prevent secondary impacts, the test apparatus shallbe fitted with a means of arresting the motion of the carriageafter the primary impact.5.1.6 Instrumentation shall be provided to determine thevelocity
22、 at impact and the rebound velocity to an accuracy of6 5 %. Additional instrumentation shall be provided to recordthe shock pulse shape, magnitude, and duration. The shockrecording instrumentation shall have a frequency response atleast 20 times the frequency being recorded, a cross-axissensitivity
23、maximum of 5 % of full scale, and an accuracy of 62 % of the actual values as measured.5.1.6.1 Instrumentation sensors shall be placed on the out-side of the carriage bulkhead within 6 in. (150 mm), measuredperpendicularly to the programming material.5.1.6.2 Optional instrumentation may include opti
24、cal ormechanical timing devices for measuring the carriage impactand rebound velocities for determining the total velocitychange. If used, this system shall have a response for eachvelocity measurement accurate to within 6 2.5 % of the actualvalue.5.1.7 Conditioning ApparatusAdequate facilities shal
25、l beprovided for conditioning test specimens at the proper humid-ity and temperature prior to testing, in accordance with thespecification covering the containers or shipping systems to betested.5.1.7.1 ConditioningDepending on the purpose of thetests, containers may be conditioned prior to the prog
26、rammedimpact test by either a different physical test, water immersion,exposure to water spray, or exposure to standard or other fixedconditions of air temperature or humidity. It is recommendedthat special atmospheres for conditioning be selected fromthose given in Practice D 4332. Unless otherwise
27、 specified,fiberboard or paperboard containers shall be conditioned inaccordance with the preconditioning and standard conditioningatmospheres specified in Practice D 4332 (see also PracticeD 4169 for additional guidance).5.1.7.2 Where the moisture content of fiberboard containersis determined, it s
28、hould be determined in accordance withMethod D 644.6. Hazards6.1 This test method may produce severe mechanical re-sponses in the test specimen and apparatus. Operating person-nel must therefore remain alert to potential hazards and takenecessary safety precautions. The test area should be clearedpr
29、ior to each impact. The testing of hazardous materials orproducts may require special precautions that must be ob-served. Safety equipment may be required, and its use must beunderstood before starting the test.7. Sampling7.1 The test specimens and number of samples shall bechosen to permit an adequ
30、ate determination of representativeperformance. Practice E 122 is recommended.7.2 In the absence of any sampling plan, at least threerepresentative specimens should be selected for performanceevaluation.8. Test Specimens8.1 When the protective capability of a container or ship-ping system is to be e
31、valuated, it is preferable to pack thecontainer with the actual contents for which it was designed(Note 1). When the integrity of a container or shipping systemis to be evaluated, pack the container or shipping system witheither the actual contents or a load simulating the contents.Regardless of whi
32、ch procedure is used, close the container orshipping system in the same manner that will be used inpreparing it for shipment.NOTE 1Where the use of actual contents is not feasible because ofexcessive cost or danger, a dummy load simulating the contents withrespect to dimensions, center of gravity, m
33、oment of inertia, density, flowcharacteristics, etc. may be used.9. Procedure9.1 Prior to initiating the test, write a test plan that includesthe following information.9.1.1 State the number of impacts the test unit will receive(Note 2).NOTE 2The number of impacts to which a product will be subjecte
34、din transit may range from 1 to more than 15. The velocity changes mayrange from 1 to 10 mph (1.6 to 16.1 kph). The duration of the impactshocks is dependent on both the draft gear of the rail cars used to transportthe product and the draft gear of impacting or impacted rail cars. Forstandard draft
35、gears, this will range from 30 to 50 milliseconds. Theacceleration levels observed are normally a function of the velocitychange and pulse duration. The accelerations corresponding to the abovedurations are in the range of 15 g (147 m/s2). Because rail car switchingimpacts may occur many times durin
36、g a shipment, it is recommended thata test consist of a number of lower level impacts or an incremental seriesof increasing impact magnitude, rather than a single large magnitudeD 5277 92 (2008)2impact. This type of testing also provides better information by bracketingthe failure between two impact
37、 levels.9.1.2 State the velocity change for each impact.9.1.3 State the pulse duration of the impact shock.9.1.4 State the mass, configuration, and friction character-istics of the backload, if used (Note 3).NOTE 3The backload weight/friction requirement is not well defineddue to insufficient enviro
38、nmental measurement of lading force levels.Through preliminary testing, backload pressures ranging from 0.3 to 1.0psi (2 to 7 kPa) on the container impacting surface have created damagelevels normally observed in the distribution environment. These pressuresare based on a coefficient of friction of
39、0.5. See Appendix X1 foradditional information.9.1.5 State whether conditioning is required and the condi-tioning to be used, if any, including the preconditioning andconditioning atmosphere required.9.1.6 Use a suitable test procedure for pallet marshallingimpact tests; one is set out in Method D 4
40、003.9.2 After the test parameters have been established, placedummy weights equivalent to the test unit specimen on thecarriage at the center position of the specimen mountingsurface, with the face or edge that is to receive the impactpositioned firmly against the upright bulkhead. Use a duplicatesp
41、ecimen, if available. Then backload the dummy weight withthe backload weights, where specified, to represent the back-load conditions specified in the test plan. Impact the carriagefrom various pullback distances into the selected programmerto achieve the desired velocity changes (impact plus reboun
42、dvelocity). Record these pullback distances.NOTE 4The type of programmer material or device used shall beselected on the basis of the shock pulse, waveform, and duration desired.9.2.1 This pretesting is not required if the testing parametersare known from previous experience.9.3 Replace the dummy lo
43、ad with the test specimen andplace it on the center of the carriage, with the face or edge thatis to receive the impact positioned firmly against the uprightbulkhead. Backload the test specimen with additional productor the dummy weight.9.4 Test the containers that have been conditioned in thecondit
44、ioned atmosphere or immediately upon removal fromthat atmosphere.9.5 Pull the carriage back the distance necessary to achievethe desired velocity change (impact plus rebound velocity) fora single impact. Measure to determine both the velocity changeof the carriage and the acceleration time profile o
45、f the carriagebulkhead.9.6 The packaging, shipping system, and product may beinspected for damage after each impact.9.7 Subject the test unit to the number of impacts, and atvelocity changes, specified in the test plan, or until failureoccurs. Each axis of concern can be evaluated as specified in9.2
