3、pe1.1 These test methods determine the effects of pressure differential when packaged products are transported via certain modesof transport, such as feeder aircraft or ground over high mountain passes. The results of these tests are intended to be used forqualitative purposes.1.2 The values stated

4、in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.3 Th

Apparatus5.1 Vacuum ChamberAny suitable chamber capable of withstanding approximately one atmosphere pressure differential fittedwith a flat-vacuum-tight cover or equivalent chamber providing the same functional capabilities, such as an altitude chamber.5.2 Vacuum Gage,

17、 Inlet Tube from a Source of Vacuum and Outlet Tube to the Atmosphere, shall be sealed to the chamber. Theinlet and outlet tubes shall be equipped with hand operated valves. The vacuum gauge shall be laboratory quality with a full-scalerange of 0 to 100 kPa 0 to 30 in. Hg with minimum graduation no

18、greater than 2 kPa 1 in. Hg and accuracy to within 2 %.5.3 The Chamber, shall be large enough to contain the test specimen, as well as allow for the expansion of the product orpackage, or both.6. Sampling6.1 The test specimens and number of samples shall be chosen to permit an adequate determination

19、 of representativeperformance (see Practice E122).6.2 In the absence of any sampling plan, at least three representative specimens should be selected for performance evaluation.7. Test Specimen7.1 Atest specimen shall consist of an assembled packaging system, representative of a production run packa

Interpretation of Results10.1 If a distribution packaging system was tested and the closure, shipping container, internal packaging and product are intactand free of damage, then the packaging system should be

29、reassembled for testing in accordance with an industry acceptedpackaged-product performance test, such as Practice D4169. This will help determine if the pressure differential had an affect onthe performance of the packaging system. It is recommended to test a new test specimen with the same package
