PKSC 4400 EXAM 2 UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
Question:
TAPPI
Answer:
Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry
Question:
ASTM
Answer:
American Society for Testing and Materials
Question:
ISTA
Answer:
International safety transit association
Question:
EFFDH
Answer:
Equivalent Free Fall Drop Height
Question:
RH
Answer:
relative humidity
Question:
Development/Engineering testing
Answer:
Tests to determine adequacy of protection against hazards during the
development of a package design
Question:
Performance testing
Answer:
combination of tests that are designed to best represent the distribution
environment
Question:
List reasons why testing in the lab might be important
Answer:
controlled environment (isolate a specific hazard or intensity level) repeatable
(compare multiple packages and products equally) watch package and product
pass/fail (determine over packaging or how to redesign, verify design of
protective packaging, shipping containers, and systems)
Question:
Examples of engineering/development testing
, Answer:
determination of a critical drop height with a drop tester, compression testing
a sample to failure, water vapor transmission testing, seal strength testing,
natural frequency determination
Question:
Examples of a performance/distribution testing
Answer:
ISTA 2A: atmospheric testing, compression, vibration, shock; determine
pass/fail
Question:
the 3 types of simulation testing
Answer:
Integrity test, general simulation test, and forced simulation test
Question:
Which simulation test is the most involved and expensive
Answer:
Forced simulation because you have to first ship the current package and
attach an accelerometer to the truck, gather the data, turn the data into inputs
for the machine and then test the product-package system at the levels from
the data gathered.
Question:
Under ASTM D4169, it is required that an assurance level be determined. The
choices of assurance levels are Level I, Level II, or Level III. If I have a very
expensive product, which of these assurance levels would I be most likely to
select?
Answer:
Assurance level 1
Question:
What are the two simulation standards with ASTM
Answer:
D4169 and D7386
Question:
What is the one hazard that all packaged products will encounter?
Answer:
Vibration
Question:
Is ASTM D999 (repetitive shock) a performance or engineering test or both
Answer:
Performance
Question:
What kind of motion is Method A1?
Answer:
Vertical
