4.5.3 Cover fit. After the final drop test and leak test of 4.5.2, the drum shall be opened and then reclosed and again checked for leaks
in accordance with 4.5.1 using 4 PSI pressure (see 3.6).
4.5.4 Handle test. The drum, loaded to the minimum weight specified in Table III, shall be lifted by handle and suspended for a
minimum of five minutes (see 3.4.4).
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the contract or order (see 6.2). When
packaging of material is to be performed by DoD or in-house contractor personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible
packaging activity to ascertain packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's
packaging activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or within the military service's system commands. Packaging data
retrieval is available from the managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by
contracting the responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. The metal drums of this specification are intended to be used for storage and shipment of military materials. Drums
with diameters of 10.50, 11.25, 13.81, 14.00, 15.38 and 16 inches are required to withstand internal pressure of 15.0 pounds per square inch
(PSI). Drums of these diameters are intended to be used as overpacks for liquid or semiliquid hazardous materials which are packaged in
containers which do rot meet the 15 PSI internal pressure requirements for transportation by military aircraft. All other size drums are
suitable for all other methods of preservation where a rigid container is specified.
