Summary

Description

The Military Packaging laboratory is divided into 2 primary qualification testing areas:material and containers. Key materials testing capabilities and equipment located at Lakehurst include: Electrostatic Decay Surface Resistivity Triboelectric Charge Generation Electromagnetic Interference Watervapor Transmission Rate Oxygen Transmission Rate Tensile & Compression (Breaking, Elongation, Puncture, Bursting & Tear) Contact Corrosivity Vapor Inhibitor Ability. Key container testing capabilities and equipment include: Shock Vibration Superimposed Loading Leak Hoisting Handling Asset List: Static Decay Control Unit, Faraday Cage, Environmental Chamber: Tests for a material's ability to dissipate a 5000 volt charge within 2 seconds Resistivity Probe, Digital Teraohmmeter, Environmental Chamber:Tests for the electrical resistance of barrier materials and cushioning materials EMI Chamber, Signal Generator, Spectrum Analyzer, Antennae:Tests for a material's ability to provide a 25dB minimum attenuation a 1 - 10 GHz range Shielded Bag Test Fixture, Electrostatic Charge Generator, Digital Oscilloscope: Tests for a material's ability to attenuate 97% of a discharged pulse of 1000 volts MOCON OXTRAN 2/21: Detects and measures extremely small amounts of oxygen as it passes through barrier materials (films) MOCON PERMATRAN-W 3/31:Tests for extremely low transmission of water vapor through barrier materials under certain conditions of temperature, humidity, and flow rates
