Distribution Exam 2 Jeopardy

This type of test is an individual test to determine adequacy of protection against a selected hazard during the development of a package design.

engineering

This is a type of test that includes series of tests that simulate the expected distribution hazards

performance

Finding the water vapor transmission rate is an example of this type of test

engineering

When the criteria for a test is pass/fail, then it is likely that this type of test is being performed.

performance

This type of simulation test use data from the actual distribution environment and also the most expensive.

focused simulation

This is the ratio that should not be exceed when using time compressed vibration data

5:1 (field to test)

For ASTM D4728, this type of vibration is represented in this standard which is the best representative of what is seen in the distribution environment in terms of vibration.

random

Results in this direction are typically used in a PSD plot because it has the most intense energy even though there may be certain frequencies in which there is more intense energy in other directions.

vertical

This type of vibration test consists of dwelling at the 2 or 3 most intense magnification frequencies for a determined period of time

resonance test

Rotary motion repetitive shock vibration and vertical repetitive shock vibration are considered to be the same but can actually produce different results so they are known as this.

non-equivalent equivalents

This is the most common test method for testing shock hazards on small packages.

free fall drop

EFFDH stands for

equivalent free fall drop height

When using a constant drop height when performing a free fall drop, this is an example of this type of test.

performance

In ASTM 5276, there are several equipment options that can be used to perform a free fall drop. If testing a larger package between 150-300 pounds, this piece of equipment will likely be used

falling platen

In ASTM 880, incline impact is used to test unit loads at varying velocities. There are 2 procedures listed within this test method and procedure A is testing this only

container

ASTM D4577 is a constant load test and this test is used when we are interested in the this over time.

deflection

For ASTM 642, there are 2 different test modes. One of these test modes is to compress to failure and this would be considered this type of test.

engineering/development

In ASTM D642, there are 2 options for platen settings. This setting is used if we want to test the weakest corner or have non-traditional shaped container

floating platen

The percent RH that is used for standard conditions according to ASTM 4332 is this.

50% +/- 2%

These are the 2 types of compression that can be experienced and therefore can also be tested

static and dynamic
