Bounce Testing

This test simulates the constant agitation experienced by packaging during truck transport. EA can duplicate transportation conditions by vibrating a package or palletized load up to 500 lbs.

Often times, containers carrying military and civilian hardware (such as:  medical supplies, electronics, weaponry, communication devices) travel for extended periods of time and must be transported off-road.  All of these items must maintain functionality upon arrival at their destinations.

MIL-STD-810 and ISTA Procedures 1A and 1B offer package test procedures for packages subjected to repeated vibration (bouncing) for a distance of up to 150 miles (240 km), while unrestrained and repeatedly colliding with other cargo and the walls and floor of a four-sided compartment.
