Due to the high damping mechanical properties of fiberboard materials, corrugated fiberboard boxes are widely used as transport packagings of dangerous goods. Since there is risk of vertical impact within the distribution system, drop tests are performed as design type tests to assess a package’s ability to withstand damage. In this context, however, little is known regarding the transient mechanical response of a filled fiberboard box. The reason is that the nature of the packaging material presents challenges in identifying the deformation mechanisms experimentally. The aim of this work is to provide a framework for predicting the damage resistance of complete, filled corrugated fiberboard boxes which are ready for transportation. Therein, drop test finite-element simulations are used and validated by experimental results. These numerical calculation models are a valuable tool for virtual product development and contribute to the optimization of the design cycle.
Gemäß den internationalen Gefahrgutvorschriften müssen Säcke und flexible Großpackmittel (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container - FIBC) für feste Gefahrgüter staubdicht sein.
In der Praxis der stichpunktartigen Kontrollen von Gefahrguttransporten durch die Autobahnpolizei Münster werden jedoch immer wieder Austritte von pulverförmigen oder körnigen Gefahrgütern aus eigentlich intakten Säcken und FIBC detektiert.
Es wird ein Überblick über die im Jahr 2019 festgestellten Gefahrgutaustritte aus diesen Arten von Gefahrgutverpackungen gegeben. Darauf aufbauend wird eine systematische Einordnung hinsichtlich betroffener Bauarten und eine Diskussion möglicher Lösungsansätze vorgenommen.
The International Dangerous Goods Regulations prescribe the immersion under water method (“bubble test”) as standard method for the leakproofness test of dangerous goods packagings. But this test procedure acts as a test method for leak localisation, not for quantitative leakage rates measurement. Additionally, the sensitivity in detecting leaks of small diameters is restricted, depending on the test liquid and the test pressure. The bubble test is not suitable for a comparison with quantitative limit leakage rates based on realistic transport conditions. This is especially important when estimating the risk of the formation of an explosive atmosphere during the intercontinental carriage of dangerous goods packagings in freight containers. To compare measured leakage rates with limit leakage rates, a quantitative leak testing procedure is required. Therefore a new approach for dangerous goods packagings is implemented: The pressure technique by accumulation using Helium as a tracer gas. This work presents the test equipment necessary for the quantitative measurement of Helium leakage rates through closures of different kinds of dangerous goods packagings. The essential steps to achieve good repeatable results are: A controlled Helium filling process to reach a defined test pressure in the test sample, a sufficient homogenisation of the Helium-air-mixture inside the test sample and the ensuring of a constant pressure level of the test sample during the test. The Helium loss rate of the accumulation chamber has to be measured separately to receive a correction factor for the measured leakage rates. Different constructional measures are introduced to prevent a disturbing influence of the Helium leakage rate of the filling valves on the measurement results. Methods to estimate the disturbing effect of Helium permeation through permeable parts of the test sample are also presented. As a supporting method for the experimental investigations the Helium sniffer test can be applied. This practical application-oriented advice can enable other users to establish a pressure technique by accumulation for their own technical field.
Bei der Dichtheitsprüfung von Intermediate Bulk Containern (IBC) für gefährliche Güter ist gemäß den Gefahrgutvorschriften ein Prüfüberdruck von 0,2 bar anzuwenden. Hierbei ist die Verwendung von Prüfschäumen zulässig. In der Praxis kann es jedoch zu irreversiblen Verformungen des Prüflings kommen. Durch eine Reduzierung des Prüfüberdrucks auf nur 0,1 bar kann dies vermieden werden. Im Folgenden werden experimentelle Untersuchungen der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) vorgestellt, um die Gleichwertigkeit dieses Verfahrens mit den Gefahrgutvorschriften nachzuweisen.
