Download or read book Performance Evaluation of Star Pack Exterior Shipping Containers written by Matthew A. Venetos and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Star' pack design, currently used in the Air Force Fast Pack Program, utilizes a special exterior shipping container which is of a proprietory design. The purpose of this project was to compare this container design with commonly used standard containers with respect to handling, transportation, and stacking characteristics as well as cost. No significant differences in performance were noted amongst the three styles of containers evaluated. However, the metal stay edge used with the proprietory container design was identified as a potential hazard to handling personnel since the metal stays tended to form sharp, jagged edges when the containers were subjected to performance testing which included both drop tests and vibration tests. Based on the results of the test evaluation and potential cost savings of $32,000/per annum, the regular slotted container was recommended as a replacement for the currently used half telescope container with metal stay edge reinforcement.

Download or read book Performance Evaluation of Shipping Containers for the GBU 15 Guided Bomb System and the AIM 9J 1 Canards written by Joseph J. Berardino and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of the four containers used for the GBU-15 TV guided bomb system were subjected to vibration and superimposed load tests to simulate conditions experienced during transport and storage respectively. In addition, the dynamic performance of the containers was evaluated using one or more mechanical or rough handling tests, including free-fall drop, edgewise rotational drop, and pendulum impact. The containers were checked for pressure retention before and after completion of the tests. All tests were conducted in conformance with Federal Test Method Standard 101B. Subsequent functional tests conducted on each GBU-15 item indicated they were fully operational. Evaluation of the M548 ammunition can for the AIM 9J-1 canards was limited to vibration and free-fall drop tests. The canards were undamaged after test. (Author).

Download or read book Performance Testing of Fiberboard Shipping Containers written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid and corrugated fiberboard is available in a range of grades and finishes. This investigation centered on the potential use of less expensive, more available, and more environmental friendly fiberboard in the construction of boxes used for the packing of Military rations. Meal, Ready to Eat (MRE) rations were used for this investigation. Boxes were constructed from different fiberboards and then packed with rations. These boxes were then subjected to testing in accordance with ASTM 4169-96: Standard Practice for Performance Testing of Shipping Containers and Systems. Distribution Cycle 18 (Government Shipments) and Assurance Level 1 (highest intensity/most severe) were selected as test parameters. Evaluation of the test results leads to the recommendation that the use of solid fiberboard be discontinued as corrugated fiberboard has been proven acceptable for the packing of all MREs. It is also recommended that a regular slotted container (RSC) box design with inner fiberboard inserts be adopted for packing of MREs. A redesign of the MRE box to accommodate more meals, achieving an optimum container weight with resultant cost savings, should also be considered.

Download or read book Cartons Crates and Corrugated Board Second Edition written by Diana Twede and published by DEStech Publications, Inc. This book was released on 2014-12-22 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New expanded second edition with key technical, regulatory and marketing developments from the past 10 years in the packaging industryCovers the materials, processes, and design of virtually all paper and fiberboard packaging for end-products, displays, storage and distributionNew information on European and global standards, selection criteria for paperboard, as well as emerging sustainability initiativesExplains recent tests, measurements and costs with ready-to-use calculations Ten years ago, the first edition of Cartons, Crates and Corrugated Board quickly became the standard reference book for wood- and paper-based packaging. Endorsed by TAPPI and other professional societies and used as a textbook worldwide, the book has now been extensively revised and updated by a team formed by the original authors and two additional authors. While preserving the critical performance and design data of the previous edition, this second expanded edition offers new information on the technologies, tests and regulations impacting the paper and corrugated industries worldwide, with a special focus on Europe and Japan. New information has been added on tests and novel designs for folded cartons, as well as expanded discussions of paperboard selection for specific applications, emerging barrier packaging, food contact and migration, and the dynamics and opportunities of corrugated in distribution systems. Recent developments on recycling and sustainability are also highlighted.

Download or read book The Box written by Marc Levinson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1956, a refitted oil tanker carried fifty-eight shipping containers from Newark to Houston. From that modest beginning, container shipping developed into a huge industry that made the boom in global trade possible. The Box tells the dramatic story of the container's creation, the decade of struggle before it was widely adopted, and the sweeping economic consequences of the sharp fall in transportation costs that containerization brought about. But the container didn't just happen. Its adoption required huge sums of money, both from private investors and from ports that aspired to be on the leading edge of a new technology. It required years of high-stakes bargaining with two of the titans of organized labor, Harry Bridges and Teddy Gleason, as well as delicate negotiations on standards that made it possible for almost any container to travel on any truck or train or ship. Ultimately, it took McLean's success in supplying U.S. forces in Vietnam to persuade the world of the container's potential. Drawing on previously neglected sources, economist Marc Levinson shows how the container transformed economic geography, devastating traditional ports such as New York and London and fueling the growth of previously obscure ones, such as Oakland. By making shipping so cheap that industry could locate factories far from its customers, the container paved the way for Asia to become the world's workshop and brought consumers a previously unimaginable variety of low-cost products from around the globe. Published in hardcover on the fiftieth anniversary of the first container voyage, this is the first comprehensive history of the shipping container. Now with a new chapter, The Box tells the dramatic story of how the drive and imagination of an iconoclastic entrepreneur turned containerization from an impractical idea into a phenomenon that transformed economic geography, slashed transportation costs, and made the boom in global trade possible.

Download or read book Shipping Container written by Craig Martin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. The shipping container is all around: whizzing by on the highway, trundling past on rails, unloading behind a big box store even as you shop there, clanking on the docks just out of sight.... 90% of the goods and materials that move around the globe do so in shipping containers. It is an absolutely ubiquitous object, even if most of us have no direct contact with it. But what is this thing? Where has it been, and where is it going? Craig Martin's book illuminates the “development of containerization”-including design history, standardization, aesthetics, and a surprising speculative discussion of the futurity of shipping containers. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
