1、 METRIC A-A-52462A July 21, 2009 SUPERSEDING A-A-52462 April 28, 1993 COMMERCIAL ITEM DESCRIPTION CONTAINERS, SHIPPING AND STORAGE: METAL, REUSABLE; FOR ENGINES, TRANSMISSIONS, DIFFERENTIALS, TRANSFERS, AND SIMILAR ASSEMBLIES (METRIC) The General Services Administration has authorized the use of thi
2、s commercial item description (CID) as a replacement for MIL-C-14200C which is cancelled. 1. SCOPE. This CID covers two types of leakproof, pressurized, metal, reusable containers/ boxes (hereinafter referred to as containers). They are used as humidity controlled containers for shipment and storage
3、 of automotive engines, transmissions, differentials, transfers, and similar assemblies. The two types of containers are classified as follows (see 5.2): Type I - Pressurized container. Type II - Controlled breather container. 2. SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS 2.1 Materials. Unless otherwise specified in t
4、he applicable engineering drawing (AED), the materials shall be in accordance with the manufacturers specifications. The use of recovered material made in compliance with regulatory requirements is acceptable providing that all requirements of this CID are met (see 5.4). 2.2 Design and construction.
5、 The design and construction of containers shall be in accordance with the AED (see 5.2). Comments, suggestions, or questions on this document should be addressed to U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command, ATTN: RDTA-EN/STND/TRANS, MS# 268, 6501 E. 11 Mile Road, Warren, MI 48397-5000 or ema

All fluxes, acids, and flux solvents shall be removed prior to preparation for painting. Peening of weld in any pres
8、surized area shall not be permitted. Defective areas of weldments shall be removed and then rewelded. Reworked containers shall conform to all requirements of this CID. 2.4 Performance. The containers shall be capable of meeting all performance requirements when used under simulated shipping and sto
9、rage conditions as specified herein. When specified (see 5.2), the contracting officer may substitute the manufacturers test procedures for any of the performance tests specified herein. 2.4.1 Air leakage. The containers shall be equipped with a method to read and monitor their internal pressure. Ea
10、ch container shall show no evidence of air leakage when pressurized to the following air pressures: Type I - 69 kilopascals (kPa) Type II - 34.5 kPa 2.4.2 Rough handling. Containers when loaded shall be capable of protecting its contents from damage due to shipping and rough handling operations. Thi
11、s shall be evident after the “loaded” container has been subjected to the following drop, impact test, and the leakage test repeated. (Note: Unless otherwise specified (see 5.2) a dummy load of the same size weight and weight distribution of the component line load for which the container is designe
12、d shall be used.) 2.4.2.1 Edgewise drop test. The packed container shall be supported at one end of its base on a wood sill or block, 15 centimeters (cm) in height, and placed at right angles to the skids. The opposite end of the container shall be raised and allowed to drop freely from heights of 3
13、0, 60, and 90 cm successively onto a concrete or metal surface. The test shall be applied to each end of the container. If the size of the container and the location of the center of gravity are such that drop tests cannot be made from all of the prescribed heights, the greatest attainable height sh
14、all be the height for succeeding drops until a total of three drops have been accomplished. 2.4.2.2 Cornerwise drop test. The packed container shall be supported at one corner of its base on a block, 15 cm in height. A block, 30 cm in height, shall be placed under the other corner of the same end of
15、 the container. The lowest point of the opposite end of the container shall then be raised and allowed to fall freely from heights of 30, 60, and 90 cm successively onto a concrete or metal surface. If the size of the container and the center of gravity are such that drop tests cannot be performed f
16、rom all the prescribed heights, the greatest attainable height shall be the height for succeeding drops until a total of three drops have been performed. This test shall be applied on two diagonal corners at the bottom of the container. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking perm

The packed container, erect on its base on a hard level floor, shall be slowly tipped to the side until it falls freely and solely by its own weight to the floor. After righting the container, the test shall be repeated on the op
18、posite side. Cylindrical containers shall be tipped at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the installed item and allowed to fall freely to the floor. 2.4.2.4 Impact test. An impact test shall be applied to each end of the packed container. The container shall be suspended, as a pendulum, at th
19、e end of four or more cables (two cables shall be used for cylindrical containers with two lifting eyes). The cables shall be of sufficient length to prevent any interference or binding. A flat, vertical, stationary masonry or metal barrier, with a thickness of not more than 5 cm of wood between the
20、 barrier and container, shall be provided for the container to strike against. The suspended container shall be raised vertically to a height which will allow the lowest point of the container (while swinging through the arc of the pendulum) to clear the floor. While the suspended container is resti
21、ng lightly against the barrier and prior to pulling back for the impact, the center of balance shall be marked (if not stenciled on the container) as a measuring reference point. This mark shall be placed at the lowest point on the container shell. The suspended container shall be pulled back with a
22、 straight even pull until a height of 46 cm plus the aforementioned floor clearance is reached. This measurement shall be taken from the measuring reference point on the container to the floor. At this point, the container shall be released in a manner to allow a smooth even travel to the barrier. 2
23、.4.2.5 Flatwise drop test. The packed container shall be raised so that its base is parallel to the floor and allowed to fall freely once from a height of 15 cm and once from a height of 30 cm to a concrete or metal surface. 2.4.2.6 Examination and functional test. Containers tested as specified in
24、Rough handling shall be opened and the contents examined for visible signs of movement and damage. When specified (see 5.2), a functional test shall be conducted on the contents if the contents are a “live load”. 2.4.2.7 Finish treatment. Unless otherwise specified (see 5.2), cleaning, pretreating,
25、priming, painting, and exterior paint topcoat color of the containers shall conform to an appropriate CARC paint system selected from Drawing No. 12369000. 2.4.2.8 Identification and marking. Unless otherwise specified in the AED, identification and markings shall be permanent and legible and shall
26、include, as a minimum, the AED container part number and national stock number (NSN), the manufacturers CAGE code and part number, contract number, lifting points, and centers of gravity (see 5.2).
