Vibration is encountered during shipping (vehicle vibration, rough roads, etc.) and movement on conveyors. Vibration damage may include fractures, loose wires, bruised fruit, loose screw caps, and surface abrasion.
The ability of a package to withstand these vibrations and to protect the contents can be measured by several laboratory test procedures. Some allow searching for the particular frequencies of vibration that have potential for damage.
Others use specified bands of random vibration to better represent real vibrations measured in field studies of distribution environments.
At Asdvanced Package Testing Laboratories we can provide you specif data and consulting through such relevant tests as:
- ASTM D999 - Standard Test Methods for Vibration Testing of Shipping Containers
- ASTM D3580 -Standard Test Methods for Vibration (Vertical Linear Motion) Test of Products
- ASTM D4728 - Standard Test Method for Random Vibration Testing of Shipping Containers
- ASTM D5112 - Standard Test Method for Vibration (Horizontal Linear Sinusoidal Motion) Test of Products
- ASTM D7387 - Standard Test Method for Vibration Testing of Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) Used for Shipping Liquid Hazardous Materials (Dangerous Goods)
