【国外标准】 Standard Test Method for Compression Resistance of a Container Under Constant Load

4.1 In the distribution system for many products there is a phase wherein the packaged product may be stored for a period of time in a manner such that one or more containers are superimposed one upon the other. Failure can occur in any layer4 (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 3).FIG. 1 Containers Under Constant Load of Dead Weights Imposed by Other ContainersFIG. 2 Container Under Constant Load of Dead WeightsFIG. 3 Containers Under Constant Load in Compression Test Machine With Fixed Platen4.2 This test method subjects a container, empty or filled, to a predetermined static load, and to specified atmospheric conditions, if required.1.1 This test method is designed to determine the resistance of a shipping container to a vertically applied constant load for either a specified time or to failure. The test method may also be used for palletized or unitized load configurations.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific precautionary statements, see Section 6.1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
