Description A protective overpack which provides containment, impact resistance and the mal resistance for its contents.
The containment vessel (cavity) is approximately 76" x 76" x 172" constructed of 3/16" thick and 10-gage mild steel.
Closure of the containment vessel is by a 1/4" tiiick aluminun plate with silicone rubber gasket unich is bolted to the contain":ent vessel.
A pressure fitting with cap on the closure plate provides a means for leak testing.
Tne containment vessel is centered and supported in an outer 3/16" thick steel jacket by approx-imately 32" of polyurethane foam insulation at the end and 10" on the sides.
A removable section or cap consisting of approximately 34" of polyurethane foam insulation encased in steel with a silicone rubber gasket is bolted to the main outer steel jacket.
The overall dimen-sions of the packages are approximately 8' x 8' x 20'.
Vent holes are provided on the sides and ends of the container.
Set into each corner of the outer container are standard 1.S.0. steel castings.
The total weight including weight of the contents is 45,00? pounds.
