ASTM E1977-01e1

Standard Specification for Shelter, Tactical, Expandable, One-Side

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 the standard. The SI units given in parentheses are for information only.
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 determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
