Transport testing is carried out in order to establish the serviceability of a package as regards its uniting and protective properties. A complete transport testing comprises several parts.
The testing follows existing transport testing standards, e.g. ASTM, ETSI, IEC, ISTA, NEBS (Bellcore), Innventia Standard and/or the requirements of the customer.

Drop test
Drop test from a pre-defined height onto a flat steel surface. The falls are oriented onto the edges and corners with the lowest strength or less product protective ability. |
|
|
In the small drop tester, small individual products and packages are tested. The drop height is min. 30 cm. |
|
|
Compression test
Load test or compression test is carried out to check the stacking strength of the package in transport and storage |
|
|
Horisontal impact testing
Shunting impacts or horisontal impact testing is carried out to imitate impacts at sudden braking or at the shunting of railway carriages. |
|
|
|
Vibration testing
Vibration testing is carried out during a predefined time and at a random pattern imitating a truck transport. |

Data on the compression tester:
- Designation: Alwetron CT 100
- Load surface: 2,00 x 2,00 m
- Stacking height: max. 1,81 m
- Maximum load: up to 100 kN (corresponds to a weight of 10 tonnes)
- Compression speed: 1–99 mm/min, normally 10 mm/min.
The equipment can also be used for constant loading.
