Performance Oriented Packaging Testing of Bulk Propellant in New Fiber Drum

摘要

The report contains the testing and test results performed on bulk propellant in New Fiber Drum and the testing and test results performed on M30 bulk cannon propellant packed in a 21-gallon fiber drum. The testing was performed exclusively using live M30 bulk propellant packed into a fiber drum for Performance Oriented Packaging (POP) certification. Live propellant was used in lieu of inert propellant or sand, etc, since this live propellant would more closely represent the actual materials to be packed in this drum. For example, this propellant is representative of all bulk cannon propellant in accordance with MIL-STD-652. Therefore, based upon these tests, it is intended to qualify all bulk cannon propellant per MIL-STD-652 by analogy in this new 21-gallon fiber drum. Tests were performed in accordance with Performance Oriented Packaging test regulations.
