ASTM D999 -Standard Testing Instruments

The standard test methods for vibration testing of shipping containers and packaged products to simulate transportation and storage environments are presented in ASTM D999. The standard evaluates how vibration affects package strength, product stability, cushioning materials, seals, and container durability during transit. Presto Group's advanced vibration testing machines provide the ability to perform packaging performance testing that is accurate and reproducible according to ASTM D999.

 

ASTM D999

Significance

ASTM D999 is particularly useful for helping manufacturers understand the susceptibility of their packages prior to being sent to market so that less product damage and loss result from transit. The standard simulates real-world vibration situation experienced during transportation and storage, which are crucial to derive the performance data needed to design packaging with optimal cushioning material, to select cushioning material for product packaging and to verify seal integrity in packaging industry, electronics industry, pharmaceutical industry, automotive and consumer goods industry, packaging & logistic industry, etc.

Scope
 
ASTM D999 is used for testing and assessing shipping containers and packaged products under conditions of controlled laboratory vibration simulating transit and storage conditions. It has authority over test equipment, test vibration conditions, specimen preparation, and conditions to be evaluated for measuring the strength of packages, cushioning performance, and structural durability. The standard is applicable to sectors that would like to validate the vibration performance standardization of their product and packaging protection to guarantee protection in supply chain and industry distribution operations.
