Packaging (1)

Model No.: S300 (2)

Description The Model No. S300 package is a cylindrical container that is approximately 89 centimeters (35 inches) in overall height and 60 centimeters (23 inches) in overall diameter. The Model No. S300 is comprised of an overpack, pipe component, and a shielding insert. The Model No. S300 is designed to transport a single special form capsule (SFC). The maximum gross weight of the package is 217.7 kilograms (480 lbs).

The overpack design utilizes a standard 55-gallon drum as the outer container. A standard bolted clamping ring secures the drum lid to the drum body. Within the drum body is a rigid polyethylene liner (body and lid). Lid liner and lid are pierced and the drum lid is fitted with a filter vent. Within the liner is cane fiberboard dunnage and a sheet of plywood to provide shock absorption for the pipe component.

The pipe component consists of a stainless steel cylindrical pipe welded to a stainless steel flat cap at the bottom end and a bolted pipe flange at the other end. The pipe component is closed with a stainless steel flat lid attached to the flange with 12 stainless steel bolts. A filter vent is installed in the lid. The flange-to-lid seal is either a butyl or ethylene propylene elastomeric o-ring.
