1、Designation: D 6256/D 6256M 99 (Reapproved 2005)Standard Specification forWood-Cleated Shipping Boxes with Skidded, Load-BearingBases1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6256/D 6256M; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or, in the
2、 case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the fabrication of new wood-cleated boxes with skidded, load
3、-bearing bases. Boxes coveredby this specification are designed for nonregulated domesticand overseas shipment of loads less than 2500 lb 1134 kg andnot greater than 16 ft 4877 mm in length (see 9.1). Regulatedcommodities shipments may require better boxes than thosespecified herein (see 9.2).1.2 Th
4、e performance of wood-cleated boxes with skidded,load-bearing bases is dependent on their fabricated compo-nents; therefore, a variety of types, styles, and classes reflectingvaried performance are specified. This specification, however,does not cover box performance under all atmosphere, han-dling,
5、 shipping and storage conditions.1.3 If the use of other construction methods or techniquesare acceptable and permitted (see 5.1.18), the resulting pack-aging systems shall be of equal or better performance thanwould result from the use of these specified materials andprocedures. The appropriate dis
6、tribution cycle specified inPractice D 4169 can be used to develop comparative proce-dures and criteria.1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theSI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in eachsystem are not e
7、xact equivalents; therefore, each system mustbe used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the standard.See IEEE/ASTM SI 10 for conversion of units.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated
8、 with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of the standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Lumber used in the skids shall be in accordance withthe requirements of 6.1.1 except that Group I Woods shall notbe used. Th
46、e skid dimensions shall be as shown in Table 1, andthose with rectangular cross-sections are intended to be usedflatwise. For boxes whose outside width does not exceed 36 in.914 mm, two skids shall be required. When the outside widthexceeds 36 in. 914 mm, a third skid conforming to Table 1shall be p
47、laced equidistant between and parallel with the outerskids. When specified (see 5.1.5), the lower one-third of eachskid end and the adjacent side panel corner shall be beveled 456 5. Lumber used for load-bearing floor members shall be inaccordance with the requirements of 6.1.1 and shall be selectedin accordance with Table 2.
