The project SIGRID investigates and assesses possibilities to enhance the safety and security of
dangerous goods transports through the use of the latest RFID-technology. This technology can be used to
greatly enhance the transparency of the supply chain and aid logistics companies in complying with regulations.
In the context of SIGRID, customized RFID-Sensor-Tags have been developed that monitor dangerous
goods during transport and help to prevent hazards by allowing timely countermeasures. In the case of a dangerous
goods accident, the available information about the type, amount and condition of the dangerous goods
can be used to accurately inform the relief forces. Unavailable or inaccurate information represents a significant
problem for the relief forces. This often leads to a delay in the rescue operation, because relief forces
must be aware of the substances involved to protect themselves effectively against them. SIGRID aims to
close this information gap. To verify the practicability of the underlying concepts, a demonstrator will be
build and tests of realistic scenarios will be conducted.
Nondestructive testing (NDT) methods are applicable in many ways for defect detection as well as optimization of packaging production processes. The visual inspection method is the technique which is mostly used, although neither the customer nor a skilled inspector may be aware of this.
Techniques like ultrasound for wall thickness measurement, the application of x-ray techniques or the use of dye penetrant techniques for crack detection are rather well known to the NDT family. However, acoustic emission techniques can also be helpful for the characterization of packaging materials. In this paper the employment of x-ray computer tomography (CT) for measurement of wall thickness in plastic jerrycans, especially on the edges, and its possible optimization of production processes will be discussed.
A comparison of the CT and ultrasonic examinations of wall thickness and the reliability of this measured data are also important points for the discussion, especially if some safety factors can be derived from the results.
The leakage test is also good for jerrycans, IBCs or other kinds of drums for the transportation and storage of dangerous goods. The disadvantage of this kind of test is that a lack of quality, e.g. wall thickness deterioration, cannot be detected if the wall thickness withstands the internal pressure. Therefore, especially for Quality assurance, the other, previously mentioned techniques are better for a statistical assessment of a batch. This paper is focused on the comparison of different NDT results with special emphasis on the large range of material mechanical properties.
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how the position of a package affects the results in guided and unguided compression tests. Digital image correlation (DIC) shows how localized stresses occur. The positions of the jerricans were moved 1 cm in every direction from the center. The different positions showed how guided and unguided compression applied different loads to thejerrican.
Furthermore, the guided and unguided compressions were compared directly using DIC to show how areas of stress concentrations formed and the localized stress changed. In general, when testing the jerricans with unguided compression, the swivel platen tilted backwards because the rear side of the jerrican was not as stiff as the front side with the lid. Guided and unguided compression tests will give different results because the stress concentrations are different. The position of the jerrican in the stacking test has drastic affects on the outcome of the fest. The stresses between the jerrican bottom and stacking plate were analyzed with a sensor mat and compared the guided and unguided loads.
Guided and unguided compression tests were performed on jerricans and small and large corrugated fiberboard boxes. The different methods produced different results affecting whether the test was passed
or failed.
Jerrycans made from three different types of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) were exposed outdoors, for one Berlin summer season. They were filled with a 55 percent nitric acid solution (HN03), pure water, or air, and half of them were protected from sunlight by an UV absorbing canvas. Thus, the separate effects of UV radiation and nitric acid could be compared to the combined impact. Combined impact was mainly affected by decomposition of nitric acid, resulting in presence of reactive nitrogen oxides, increased oxygen partial pressure, and UV radiation energy, simultaneously in vapour phase.
To investigate the degradation effects after the outdoor exposure, jerrycans were exposed to a so called hydraulic internal pressure test, similar to an approval test for dangerous goods packaging. After combined impact of UV radiation and nitric acid, internal pressure tests showed very fast failures, whereas after separate impacts no remarkable deteriorations were observed, compared to unaged jerrycans.
