Stacking Load Test Rig for Filled Jerry Cans

Dead-weight stacking rig that applies a calculated compressive load to filled HDPE jerry cans for 24 hours at controlled temperature. Used by jerry can makers and chemical packers for UN type approval and design qualification.

Specification

Filled and closed cans are placed on a flat base and loaded with weights equal to the stacked height of the transport pile. After the period, the cans are checked for leakage or permanent deformation. The rig is built for repeatable stacking tests on 5 to 60 litre containers.

Features

• Rigid steel frame with leveled platform
• Loading plate with graduated weight stack
• Adjustable height up to 1000 mm
• Dimensional scale and dial for deformation reading
• Option of temperature enclosure at 40 deg C
