The logistical and tactical requirements for ammunition packaging/packing systems are varied and complex. In order to design packaging systems to meet these requir
5、ements, material and environmental criteria must be defined to ensure the success of the design and ultimate satisfactory use in the field. This standard interprets the environment that packed ammunition may be subjected to within the ammunition logistic system from time of production to time of exp

The interpretation of the environment is in terms of test simulations O which-may be readily understood and executed during the packaging development period. i Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or netw

22、IHS-,-,-MIL-STD-3904A B3 9999911 0309395 T P MIL-STD-1904A (AR) 1. SCOPE 1.1 Purpose. The intent of this document is to supply potential packaging designers with guidelines on the material, performance, and testing requirements which will lead to a container that can be successfully fielded for Army
23、 use. Obviously these guidelines can be tailored or modified to suit particular requirements for a unique piece of ammunition. However, prior to changing or altering the requirements it is mandatory that complete justification be made for these changes. At the satisfactory conclusion of the environm
24、ental tests listed it can be assumed that the fielded container will perform satisfactorily. 1.2 Scope. This standard establishes container material, performance, and environmental tests for use in development of packaging and packing for ammunition (excluding chemical). For purposes of this documen
25、t, conventional ammunition includes a broad category of Class 1 hazardous material such as small arms, projectiles, propelling charges, fuzes, cartridges (i.e. tank, mortar), primers, detonators, rockets, grenades, mines, simulators, flares, etc. However, it will only apply to packaged ammunition me
26、eting Level A (maximum military protection) packaging classification. It will also cover those packs and items (i.e. propellant) which require fielded Level A protection for long term storage but are not normally fielded as tactical ammunition. O The Level A packaging requirements, in general, excee
27、d the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49 . (49CFR ). Conformance to 49CFR will insure compliance with the Department of Transportation safety and legal requirements for CONUS and international movement whereas this standard should insure the operability and safety of the Depar
28、tment of Defense munitions when subjected to world-wide distribution, storage, handling, transportation, and tactical deployment. 1.3 Application. This standard applies broadly to all those munitions and munitions related materials which must be packaged to a Level A protection. The tests include on
29、ly those conditions which are recurrent in military operations and sufficiently fixed in procedure to permit standardization. Thus, for any special conditions of military operations not covered by this standard, it is the responsibility of the packaging designer to devise and apply the appropriate t
30、ests to cover the non-standard conditions. 1 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-2.1 Governm 2. lent docum MIL-STD-1904A (AR) APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS .ents. 2.1.1 Specifications and standards.

37、tests shall be performed in the sequence shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3 because the information obtained at a particular point in the test sequence may reveal survivability at a point in the logistic chain and because some of the tests may be destructive and prevent further testing. It is intended that
38、 the tests will serve for engineering investigation, design evaluation, design margin determination, or quality control dependent upon the specific technical need. The test procedures cover a wide range of environments and constitute a general criteria for evaluation of the packaging to insure end i
39、tem reliability. These tests should be performed only to packaged ammunition requiring a Level “A“ packaging classification. 5.2 Backaround. The type of container (pack) used to protect ammunition is a function of the protection required by the ammunition. Because of the cost and weight consideratio
40、n, the package should provide only that protection necessary to meet Level “A“ requirements. If as a result of some unique operational requirements, a container is designed which has properties or performs a function that is different from that normally specified for Level A requirements, then the t
41、ests required to prove the unique operational requirements should supplement the tests listed below. The packaging engineer should select all those tests which will adequately determine the ability of the container to protect the item based upon the design of the container (including unique operatio
42、nal requirements) and the logistical and tactical environment expected. 5.3 Test planninq and report. Prior to start of tests, a test plan should be formulated which will detail: number of containers to be tested, tests to be conducted, performance requirements, number of live/inert ammunition items
43、, pre-test data and parameters for determining proper evaluation of the ammunition and pack before and after test, applicable configuration of ammunition and package, and temperature level if other than those given by these tests.

These tests consist of subjecting packaged ammunition to transportation, storage, and handling tests at
47、 specified temperatures to determine the adequacy of the pack to protect the ammunition and to insure its 0 operation and safety. 5.4.1.1 Vibration. The vibration tests are meant to simulate three types of field environment. One test, Ifloose. cargo, is used to determine survivability when packaged
48、ammnition is transported over rough roads in an unrestrained condition. The second test, “secured vibration“, is a random vibration test used to simulate the environment encountered when packaged ammunition is transported in a “tied-down-“ condition carried in representative tactical wheeled and tra
49、cked vehicles from the port staging area to the using unit and in, when appropriate, the specific fighting tactical vehicle (FTV). When ammunition in its packaging configuration is placed in racks in the FTV, a third test, “rack vibration“, is performed to simulate the random vibration that the packaged configuration will experience. 17 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitte
