5、 Revised 2017-03 Superseding AS36102A Air Cargo Unit Load Devices Testing Methods RATIONALE Revised to take into account the changes to AS36100 revision B, including introduction of straps tie-down testing on pallets, and provide improved pallet nets testing results comparability. FOREWORD Throughou
6、t this Aerospace Standard, the minimum essential criteria are identified by use of the key word “shall”. Recommended criteria are identified by use of the key word “should” and, while not mandatory, are considered to be of primary importance in providing acceptable ULD testing conditions. Deviation
7、from recommended criteria should only occur after careful consideration and thorough evaluation in testing have shown alternate methods to provide an equivalent level of safety.

DO-160 Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment 2.3 Definitions CONTAINER (AIR CARGO): A rigid structure which inte
29、rfaces directly with the aircraft cargo handling and restraint system and alone performs all the functions of a unit load device. NET (AIR CARGO PALLET): A webbing or rope net for restraining load onto an air cargo pallet. PALLET (AIR CARGO): A unit load device consisting of a flat platform with fla
30、t undersurface of standard dimensions, on which goods are assembled and secured by a net before being loaded as a unit on to the aircraft, and which interfaces directly with the aircraft handling and restraint system. To constitute a certified ULD, a certified pallet shall be equipped with a net, ce
31、rtified according to the relevant regulation. UNIT LOAD DEVICE (ULD): Device for grouping, transferring and restraining cargo for transit. It may consist of a pallet with a net or it may be a container. PANEL: Assembly of components to form a complete side of a ULD, base and roof included. CENTER OF
32、 GRAVITY (CG): Location of the ULD payloads center of mass. The location is defined in AS36100. LIMIT LOAD (LL): The maximum load to be expected in service as a result of an aircrafts certified allowable flight envelope (see Title 14 CFR Part 25, 25.301(a). ULTIMATE LOAD (UL): The limit load multipl
33、ied by a safety factor of 1.5 (see Title 14 CFR Part 25, 25.303). It shall be used for calculation of the ULD test load, based on the ultimate load value defined in AS36100, in each direction of restraint, for the relevant ULD configuration. SAE INTERNATIONAL AS36102B Page 6 of 23 TEST LOAD (TL): Th
34、e combined load to be used for testing a ULD in a given direction of restraint, including: a. Applicable ultimate load. b. Maximum allowable CG offset for the relevant ULD configuration. c. Appropriate environmental degradation factor. ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION FACTOR: A test load factor that shall
35、be the result of an assessment of materials used in the construction of pallets, nets and containers for potential in-service performance degradation resulting from environmental conditions. NUMERIC SIMULATION: Simulation of physical test condition and reaction of ULD employing numerical analysis, c
36、omputational geometry and computer graphics to obtain proof support and design verification, validated by demonstration that parameters, algorithms and analytical methods used provide results of at least equivalent reliability to the outcome of a specified actual test. REFERENCE LOAD ITEM: A rectang
37、ular cargo box with dimensions of 600 x 400 x 250 mm (24 x 16 x 10 inches), loaded in any direction. This size is defined as a minimum common size of cargo items, based on ISO 3394 cross-checked with ISO 3676 and consistent with industry practise. 3. TYPES OF LOADS 3.1 Alternative Load Application 3
38、.1.1 Fixed Loads ULD is loaded with test load before test is initiated. This test does not indicate exactly at which point a possible failure occurs since the ULD either pass or fails, but it is easier to perform in a repeatable manner. For typical load media, see 3.2.1 through 3.2.3. 3.1.2 Increasi
39、ng Loads Increase load gradually until test load has been reached or until failure of ULD. This method gives greater control over when failure occurs, but can be more time consuming. Except for nets testing, load increase should take place in steps, with a minimum of 3 second stabilization between e
40、ach step. Time taken to apply the load should be recorded for inclusion in test report if using increasing loads. For typical load media, see 3.2.3 through 3.2.5. For nets testing, see 4.4. 3.2 Typical Load Media Detailed below are typical load materials used for the purpose of applying specified te
41、st loads onto the ULD panels. A combination of the defined load materials may be used. Any load media shall not restrict panel deflection under test load. Except for nets testing, adequate clearance between adjacent load media should be considered to insure unrestricted movement of the load media. 3
42、.2.1 Flexible load transfer media = 50 kg (110 pounds) Large load media are ideally used when having large test loads and restricted internal ULD volume. They can also be used to minimize manual handling. One or more layers of small load media should be used underneath in order to avoid large concen
43、trated loads. 3.2.4 Air Pressurized Bladders Air pressurized bladders can be used for containers testing when having large loads and limited internal ULD volume. The bladders shall cover the full panel surface. To replicate CG eccentricity, the load shall be applied to a limited area only by positio
44、ning an appropriately sized bladder. The bladder shall be a box type construction that will only expand towards the panel to be tested. This ensures that the test load will be evenly distributed. It shall be considered that the side parts of the bladder will allow enough expansion in order not to re
45、strict the panel deflection under test load. To support the bladder at the side opposite to the panel sheet, a solid panel of the same size as the bladder and an adequate number of struts shall be used. The struts shall be fixed outside the ULD, i.e., at the test fixture. If necessary, clearance hol
46、es in the accordant panel sheets can be used. The necessary air pressure to constitute the required test load is a function of the area of the bladder. For measuring the air pressure, only calibrated and inspected instruments shall be used. See Appendix A for typical test setup and physical test. Ne
47、cessary pressure = Required test load / Bladder footprint. 3.2.5 Hydraulic Systems Hydraulic systems are ideally used for load application limited to specific key interface points. It can also be used when having different forces at the specific key interface replicating the CG eccentricity. An offs
48、et lever arrangement utilizing a single hydraulic source can optionally be used. The force shall not be supported by the ULD, but at the test fixture. For measuring the hydraulic pressure, only calibrated and inspected instruments shall be used. See Appendix B for examples of testing with hydraulic
49、systems. 4.
