Water-Resistant Container Testing: A846-500 Container Design
The purpose of this report is to detail the results of water ingress testing conducted on the A846-500 container design and discuss these results against the water-resistant container requirements of TA55-AP-522 and PA-RD-01009. The A846-500 is a proposed commercially off the shelf inner container option for material storage inside of a glovebox and/or as an approved non-hermetically sealed inner of an approved packaging configuration inside of an approved outer container as listed in PA-RD-01022. The A845-500 is shaped similar to a soda bottle (wide cylindrical base with a narrow, tapered neck at the top), made of 316L stainless steel, and utilizes a knurled, threaded lid with a silicone gasket for closure and containment.
