1.1 本试验方法涵盖对船运集装箱（例如箱子和圆桶）或组件或两者的压缩试验。装运集装箱可在有或无内含物的情况下进行测试。该程序可用于测量容器抵抗施加在其表面、对角边缘或角落的外部压缩载荷的能力。本试验方法包括对多个集装箱或单位负载的试验，以及对单个装运集装箱、组件、材料或其组合的试验。 1.2 施加荷载的试验方法可用于将给定容器设计的特性与标准进行比较，或比较不同结构的容器的特性。 1.3 本试验方法与TAPPI T 804有关。本试验方法满足国际标准化组织（ISO）试验方法12048的要求。ISO标准可能不符合本试验方法的要求。 1.4 可使用装载有内容物的容器和内部包装（如果内容物分担负载）进行试验。 1.5 以英寸-磅为单位的数值应视为标准值。括号中给出的值是到国际单位制的数学转换，仅供参考，不被视为标准值。 1.6 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.7 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1 抗压性是用于评估运输集装箱、组件和单位负载在存储和分配期间承受压缩力的能力的属性之一（参见 注1 ). 注1: 恒定负载试验参考试验方法 D4577 . 4.2 抗压强度可通过固定- 或旋转平板式试验机。然而，需要使用固定头压缩机对试样进行边到边和角到角的定向（参见 注释2 ). 此外，通常仅在从上到下的方向上测试单元负载。 注2: 固定压盘机通常会导致瓦楞纸箱试样在其最强点失效，而旋转压盘机会导致瓦楞纸箱试样在其最弱点失效。 5. 允许旋转的压板移动到容器的最薄弱点。

1.1 This test method covers compression tests on shipping containers (for example, boxes and drums) or components, or both. Shipping containers may be tested with or without contents. The procedure may be used for measuring the ability of the container to resist external compressive loads applied to its faces, to diagonally opposite edges, or to corners. This test method covers testing of multiple containers or unit loads, in addition to individual shipping containers, components, materials, or combination thereof. 1.2 The test method of applying load may be used to compare the characteristics of a given design of container with a standard, or to compare the characteristics of containers differing in construction. 1.3 This test method is related to TAPPI T 804. This test method fulfills the requirements of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Test Method 12048. The ISO standards may not meet the requirements for this test method. 1.4 The test may be conducted with the container loaded with contents and interior packaging in cases where the contents share the load. 1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 Compressive resistance is one of the properties used to evaluate the ability of shipping containers, components, and unit loads to successfully survive the compressive forces they are subjected to during storage and distribution (see Note 1 ). Note 1: For constant load test refer to Test Method D4577 . 4.2 Compressive resistance may be determined with either fixed- or swiveled-platen-type testing machines. However, a fixed-head compression machine is required to perform edge-to-edge and corner-to-corner orientations on test specimens (see Note 2 ). Also, unit loads are generally tested only in the top-to-bottom orientation. Note 2: Fixed-platen machines generally cause corrugated box specimens to fail at their strongest point, while swivel-platen machines cause corrugated box specimens to fail at their weakest point. 5 The swiveled platen is allowed to move to the weakest point of the container.
