(a) Packaging 8 I

(1) Model No.: Half Super Tiger .I (2) Description A protective overpack which provides containment, impact I 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 ga:ket which in bolted to the containment vessel. A pressure fitting with cap on the closure plate provides a means for leak testing. The con-tainment 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 i

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.

steci castings. The maximum total weight including weight of the contents is 45,000 pounds.
