The document outlines unitization procedures for bulk explosives packed in fiberboard boxes, specifying methods to safely load and secure 36 boxes on a standard 40" x 48" pallet. It details the palletization process, including the alignment, tensioning, and sealing of horizontal and tiedown straps to ensure stability during transport. The document highlights the importance of adhering to dimensions, weight tolerance, and the use of filler assemblies when fewer than 36 boxes are loaded. Additional notes concern the treatment of wood, adherence to military specifications, and detailed material requirements, such as types of strapping and staples. Furthermore, the revision as of December 2012 updated the drawing format and added variations in box sizes. This procedural drawing serves as a guideline for the U.S. Army to maintain safety and efficiency in handling explosives, demonstrating compliance with applicable regulations and enhancing operational standards for the transport of hazardous materials.

The document outlines the specifications and regulations for the packaging design of a reusable, collapsible fiberboard box intended for high explosives storage by the U.S. Army at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ. It includes detailed instructions on the material properties, dimensions, and mechanical characteristics of the box, emphasizing weather resistance in accordance with specific ASTM standards. The design features collapsible and reusable elements, ensuring compliance with military packaging standards, and specifies requirements for inspection and reuse criteria. The document includes marking instructions for proper shipment and identification, detailing necessary information such as the part number, gross and net weights, and hazardous shipping classifications. Additionally, various high explosives are referenced, each with its shipping name and identification number, ensuring safety during handling. The document serves as a technical guideline for manufacturers and contractors involved in packaging explosives, reflecting the government's commitment to safety, regulatory compliance, and effective logistics management in the defense sector.

The document serves as a detailed specification for Trinitrotoluene (TNT), specifically MIL-DTL-248D, approved for use by Department of Defense agencies. It outlines the scope, classification, and requirements for TNT types I, II, and III, which differ in form and intended applications, primarily in military ammunition. The specification includes rigorous testing standards, quality assurance provisions, and conforming inspection protocols to ensure the explosive meets safety and performance benchmarks. It details specific physical and chemical requirements, including solidification points, moisture content, and granulation, alongside the necessary packaging standards. This ensures TNT is properly packed for safe transport. The document emphasizes that inspection equipment must be government-approved and outlines classifications for evaluating TNT quality. This specification is pivotal for procurement and quality assurance in military explosive materials, reinforcing the need for rigorous compliance to meet safety standards and effectiveness in operational contexts.
