References:
(a)
Packaging (1) Model No.:
6679 l
(2) Description A protective overpack which provides containment, impact resistance and thermal resistance for its contents.
The containment vessel (cavity) is approximately 76" x 76" x 85" constructed of 3/16" thick and 10-gage mild steel. Closure of the containment vessel is by 1/4" thick aluminum plate with silicone rubber gasket which is bolted to the containment vessel. A pressure fitting with cap on the closure plate provides a means for leak testing. The containment vessel is centered and supported in an outer 3/16" thick steel jacket by approximately 17" of polyurethane foam insulation at the end and 10" on the sides.
A removable section or cap consisting of approximately 18" of polyurethane foam insulation encased in steel with a silicone rubber gasket is bolted to the main outer steel jacket.
The overall dimensions of the packages are,approximately 96" x 96" x 120".
Vent holes are provided on the sides and ends of the container.
Set into each corner of the outer container are standard I.S.0. steel castings. The maximum total weight including weight of the contents is 45,000 pounds.
