ASTM D6537 Standard Practice for Instrument Pack Shock Testing to Determine Package Performance

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D6537 test standard. The purpose of ASTM D6537 is to measure shock responses when a real or simulated package is subjected to impact.

ASTM D6537 Standard Practice for Instrument Pack Shock Testing to Determine Package Performance

This test will measure package performance using acceleration measurement techniques. The results of this test will provide the user with useful information about the package performance. They can determine the ability of the package to withstand the shocks and impact hazards it may encounter during deployment.

Required apparatus for ASTM D6537 are shock or impact apparatus, instrumentation system, accelerometer, and wiring. All apparatus must meet the requirements specified in the standard.

It is important to maintain structural integrity before testing. The packaging should not be damaged when it comes to the test laboratory.

Before testing, the accuracy of the test equipment must be verified by calibration. The package must be conditioned before testing, if applicable.

To start the test, the accelerometer must be mounted at a point that represents the package as a whole. The accelerometer should be mounted so that it is not loose or loses contact with the package. The recommended mounting method is a threaded connection.

However, other methods such as adhesives, cements, magnetic bonds and waxes can also be used. The packaging must be closed and sealed, as for shipping. Then a shock test should be done.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
