Standard Test Methods for Determining the Effects of High Altitude on Packaging Systems by Vacuum Method

Importancia y uso:

4.1 Packaged products transported by meansn of the feeder aircraft network are liable to experience altitudes as high as 5 791 m [19 000 ft].4 When exposed to these high altitude conditions, products or packaging systems, or a combination thereof, may be affected negatively by the resultant pressure differential.

4.2 These test methods are suitable for evaluating the effect of high altitude on packaging systems.

4.3 These test methods are suitable for package or product, or both, development and engineering.

4.4 Other test methods, such as Test Methods D3078, D4991 and D5094, test for leakage of packaging systems by vacuum method and are applicable for testing the effects of high altitude.
