Transport load

This article or the following section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

Transport loads occur in all TUL processes ( transport , handling , storage ). Packaging is developed and manufactured in such a way that it can withstand these loads and protect the packaged goods. These loads can be divided into:

1. mechanical loads, for example shock or pressure loads, penetration of foreign bodies (dust)
2. climatic stresses, for example temperature changes (also associated condensation water)
3. biological stress, for example insects, molds
4. Theft (represents a "transport burden" in current literature)

Determination of transport loads with a drop test

Transport loads are determined through tests in the laboratory or measurements during real transports. Typical tests are environmental simulations .

Climatic stresses can be simulated in a climatic chamber .

Various test methods are used to determine mechanical loads, for example drop tests , inclined planes, vibration test tables, tensile and compression testing machines. Mechanical stresses can also be determined with acceleration sensors during transport.

The term transport load is also used in connection with animal transport .
