Description
Summary:The Defense Electronic supply Center (DESC) reported that excessive damage had been experienced during shipment of ML-8094/199 High Voltage Rectifier tubes from the Connecticut based manufacturer to Peterson Field, Colorado. The main objectives of this study were twofold: (1) Determine if the present pack will protect the tube when subjected to rough handling tests as prescribed by MIL-P-116; and (2) Determine if the pack could be modified to afford increased protection to the tube. The results of this study indicated that the present pack will protect the tube during the rough handling tests, but the modified pack will provide protection beyond the failure drop height of 42 inches from the present pack.
