Environmental Monitoring of Transportation of 30MM Ammunition in MILVANS fromSavanna Army Depot Activity (SVDA) to Crane Army Ammunition Activity (CAAA) via Highway and Rail

摘要

Two MILVANs loaded with 3OMM ammunition were monitored during transport fromSavanna Army Depot Activity (SVDA) to Crane Army Ammunition Activity (CAAA). The first instrumented MILVAN was transported on a flatbed semitrailer and the second MILVAN was transported by rail. Event Data Recorders (EDRs) from Instrumented Sensor Technology, Inc. were set up to monitor shock/vibration in all three axes as well as temperature and humidity. Monitoring was conducted on 3 June and 5-30 June 1997. The EDR monitoring the MILVAN transported over-the-road experienced 1,231 shock/vibration events and 222 temperature/humidity readings. The EDR monitoring the MILVAN transported by rail experienced 9,081 shock/vibration events and 4,122 temperature/humidity readings.
