(Specification)Standard Specification for Shelter, Tactical, Expandable, One-Side
Standard Specification for Shelter, Tactical, Expandable, One-Side
ABSTRACT
This specification covers a rigid wall, one-side expandable shelter constructed of aluminum-faced, nonmetallic honeycomb sandwich panels. Design and construction requirements of the expandable shelter shall conform to the requirements on the drawings, all subsidiary drawings and parts lists. Also, design and construction requirements for panels, inserts, payload, corner fittings, exterior lighting, and shelter electrical systems shall be met. The following test shall be conducted for each panel: electrical continuity test, water leakage test, performance test, paint adhesion test, packaging examination, thermal shock test, panel interchange test, insert proof load test, floor load test, roof load test, door load test, step test, airtightness test, low temperature test, high temperature test, humidity test, aging test, blackout test, panel watertightness test, insert working load test, rail transportability test, impact resistance test, drop test, towing test, fluorescent light temperature test, solar load test, operational test, lifting test, six high stacking test, longitudinal restraint test, racking test, lashing test, end wall strength test, sidewall strength test, lifting from fork lift pockets test, heat transfer test, panel delamination test, thickness test, and electrical system test.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers a rigid wall, one-side expandable shelter constructed of aluminum-faced, nonmetallic honeycomb sandwich panels, and meeting the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Cargo Container specification in the transport mode. Nominal dimensions when closed (container mode) are: height 8 ft, width 8 ft, and length 20 ft (2.4 by 2.4 by 6.1 m) Approximate dimensions, when expanded (shelter mode) are: height 8 ft, width 15 ft, and length 20 ft (2.4 by 4.6 by 6.1 m).
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 The following precautionary statement pertains to the test method portion only. Section 7, of this specification; This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determines the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
