1、Designation: B660 08B660 15Standard Practices forPackaging/Packing of Aluminum and Magnesium Products1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B660; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revisi
2、on. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 These practices describe methods of packag
3、ing/packing aluminum and magnesium products, in preparation for storage orshipment, both foreign and domestic. Assuming proper and normal handling in transit, these practices are designed to deliver theproducts to their destination in good condition. For DoD redistribution, see Supplementary Require
4、ments.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.1.3 Aluminum and magnesium products must be preserved and packed so as to be
5、adequately protected from possible damageduring shipment and storage. Major damage types are:1.3.1 Mechanical, including bending, crushing, denting, scratching, or gouging during handling and storage; and abrasionsresulting from vibration during transport of the material.1.3.2 Corrosion, or water st
6、ain, resulting from exposure of packed material to water, either externally applied, or as condensatecaused by temperature variations in a humid atmosphere.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user o
7、f this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.2.
