The ASTM D7387-2020 standard specifies a vibration test method for intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) for the transportation of liquid hazardous materials. This test is designed to simulate the vibrations that a container may experience during transportation, evaluate its tolerance to vibrations and ability to protect the contents during actual transportation. Frequency of vibrations that may cause failure or leakage of the container can be identified through the test, helping to optimize the container design to improve transportation safety. This method is suitable for IBC from 450 to 3000 liters and complies with relevant regulatory requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation and the United Nations. Testing helps to ensure that the container remains intact during transportation and prevents leakage of contents.
