Shock is one of the more troublesome of these hazards. Free-fall drop testing, while easy toperform, often understre

United States1resulting from the impact energy dispersing in several axes.44.1.1 Controlled shock input by shock machines provides a convenient method for evaluating the ability of shipping containers,interior packaging

16、 materials, and contents to withstand shocks. Simulated free-fall drop testing of package systems, which havecritical elements, has produced good results where the frequency of the shock pulse is at least three times that of the packagesystems natural frequency.4.2 As in most mechanical shock test p

17、rocedures, fixturing of the package on the shock test machine may have significantinfluence on the test results. Typically, packages will be firmly held on the table by securing some type of cross member(s) acrossthe top of the package. Care should be taken that any pressure resulting from such fixt

18、uring should be minimal, particularly whenthe container being tested is corrugated or some other similar material.4.2.1 In cases where low-acceleration, long-duration responses are anticipated, any fixturing can potentially influence packageditem response and can possibly alter any correlation betwe

19、en this test method and free-fall drop testing. Where such correlationis desired, the package can be tested without it being fixed directly to the table. Note that in such circumstances, the shippingcontainer can vigorously rebound from the table and can, if not otherwise controlled, present a safet

20、y problem for operators. Fixingthe shipping container to the shock machine table is most often recommended for safety and convenience, but accuracy andprecision of this test method should not be compromised by such fixturing.NOTE 2A rigid package system with a natural frequency above 83 Hz requires

21、a shock pulse shorter than the 2-ms (nominal) duration currentlyavailable with many of todays shock machines:fs 51cycle/d s 32!fs 51cycle/0.00232!5250 Hzfp 5fs/3fp 5250 Hz/3583 Hzwhere:ds = shock pulse duration, s,fs = shock pulse frequency, Hz, andfp = package system frequency, which may be determi

22、ned by Test Methods D999.Similarly, a shock machine using an input shock pulse duration of 3 ms would only be effective with package system frequencies below 56 Hz.5. Apparatus5.1 Shock Test Machine:5.1.1 The machine shall consist of a flat horizontal test surface (carriage) of sufficient strength a

23、nd rigidity to remain flat andhorizontal under stress developed during the test. The test surface shall be guided to fall vertically without rotation or translationin other directions.5.1.2 The machine shall incorporate sufficient carriage drop height to produce shock pulses at the carriage as descr

24、ibed in 9.1.Drop height control shall be sufficient to control velocity change reproducibility on the table of 65 %.5.1.3 Means shall be provided to prevent secondary shocks by stopping the motion of the carriage after impact.5.2 Instrumentation:5.2.1 AccelerationAn accelerometer, a signal condition

25、er, and a data storage apparatus are required to record velocity changehistories. The accelerometer shall be rigidly attached to the carriage. The instrumentation system shall have sufficient response topermit measurements to at least 1000 Hz.5.2.2 AccuracyReading to be within 65 % of the actual val

26、ue.5.2.3 Cross-Axis SensitivityLess than 5 % of the actual value.5.2.4 VelocityInstrumentation to measure the shock tables velocity change is required. This may be a device whichelectronically integrates the area under the shock pulse waveform. Alternatively, it can be measured by a photodiode type

27、devicewhich measures the shock table impact and rebound velocity. Calculation which assumes the shock pulse to be a perfect geometricfigure usually is grossly inaccurate and should not be used.6. Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units6.1 The sampling and the number of test specimens depend on the

28、specific purposes and needs of the testing. Sample sizedetermination in accordance with Practice E122 or other established statistical procedures is recommended.6.2 When the protective ability of the package is package systems protection characteristics are to be evaluated, packconstructthe package

30、f actual contents is prohibitive because of excessive cost or danger, a “dummy” load simulating thecontents with respect to dimensions, center of gravity, moment of inertia, product characteristics such as viscosity, etc., may beused with accelerometers or other indicating mechanisms.6.2.2 Regardles

31、s of which procedure is used, close or strap the container, or both, in the same manner that will be used inpreparing it for shipment.6.3 The procedure for identification of the members of the container shall be in accordance with Test Method D5276.7. Calibration and Standardization7.1 The accuracy

32、of the test equipment must be verified to ensure reliable test data.7.2 Verification of calibrations must be performed on a regular basis to ensure compliance with all accuracy requirementsestablished in Section 5. Typically, system verification is performed minimally on an annual basis.7.2.1 In no

33、case shall the time interval between verification of calibration exceed 18 months.7.2.2 Regardless of the time interval since the last verification, testing machines shall be verified immediately after functionalrepairs, relocation, and whenever there is reason to doubt the accuracy.8. Conditioning8

34、.1 It is recommended that atmospheres for conditioning be selected from those in Practice D4332. Unless otherwise specified,fiberboard and other paperboard containers shall be preconditioned and conditioned in accordance with the standard atmospherespecified in Practice D4332 and tested in that atmo

35、sphere where practical.8.1.1 If 8.1 is not practical, tests should be conducted within 15 min of removal from the conditioning atmosphere.9. Procedure9.1 Set up the shock test machine to produce a haversine or half sine pulse waveform with a pulse duration not longer than 3ms (Note 2). The measured

36、velocity change (impact + rebound) of the shock machine table should be equivalent to the impactvelocity for the chosen free-fall drop height, as calculated using the following formulas:VT 5Viwhere:Vi = =2gh ,VT = measured table velocity change,Vi = calculated free fall drop impact velocity,g = acce

37、leration due to gravity, 386.4 in./s2 (9.806 m/s2), andh = equivalent free fall drop height, in. (m).9.1.1 When rebounding-type shock pulse programmers are used, the shock machine drop height is usually substantially differentfrom the equivalent free-fall drop height. Provision shall be made for det

38、ermining the velocity change of the shock machine table.The velocity change may be determined by using a photodiode type velocity meter which measures shock machine table velocitychange (impact plus rebound).An electronic device which measures acceleration versus time may also be used to record the

39、shockwave pulse. Integrating the area under the curve, either electronically or by other means will result in the total velocity change asa result of the impact (see Fig. 1 in Test Methods D3332).9.2 Method AUnrestrained Test:9.2.1 Identify the shipping container members in accordance with Test Meth

Movement of the specimen should be controlled so that a second impact is prevented. Motorcyclebunge cord netting has been successfully

41、 used to prevent test specimens from rebounding from the shock machine table duringimpact.NOTE 3Warning: Use caution to prevent injury to the operator and damage to the unit.
