Study Notes
Intermodal Dry Cargo Container Inspection
- DD Form 2282 Decal: Essential form from MIL-STD-3037 appendix for systematic container inspections.
- Primary Reference: MIL-STD-3037 serves as the main guide for inspectors performing CSC container inspections.
- Common Container Type: End-opening containers are the most widely used for shipping general purpose dry cargo across military branches.
- Flatrack Usage: Designed for large, heavy cargo that cannot fit in traditional containers with fixed sides.
- Side-Opening Containers: Facilitates easier loading and unloading of large items, such as bombs.
- Container Components:
- Crossmembers, Threshold Plate, Top End Rail, Forklift Pocket, and Gooseneck Tunnel are all critical parts of container structure.
- Cam and retainer are components in the container door assembly.
- ISO Identification Markings: Must be displayed prominently on both ends, sides, and top of the container.
Inspection Tools and Procedures
- Measuring Tape: Utilized for checking container alignment.
- Welder's Hammer: Important for assessing weld serviceability and corrosion severity during inspections.
- Container Handler: Equipment used to move containers, lifting them from corner fittings.
- Inspection Checklist Location: Found in MIL-STD-3037, Appendix A for mobile facilities.
Defect Classification and Repair
- IMDG and Non-IMDG Criteria: MIL-STD-3037 includes separate sections for both criteria concerning container defects.
- Remarks Section: Describes defects found during inspection on the checklist.
- Defect Classifications:
- Major defects can significantly impact container service; e.g., "Door sill has 7" splice" classified as an IMDG Major defect.
- Non-IMDG Major defects include issues like "Cracked lower rear roadside corner fitting."
- Allowable Defect Depth:
- Maximum dent depth for IMDG is ¾", whereas for general cargo it is 1-⅜".
- Minor defects, like a 3/16" dent on a panel, are less severe.
Forms and Inspection Schedules
- DA Form 2404: Permanent record of container inspections and conditions.
- Inspection Frequency: Containers inspected in April 2020 would require reinspection by September 2022.
- Last Inspection Date: Example from DD Form 2282 indicates May 2018 as the last inspection date.
- New DD Form 2282 Requirement: Necessary if the existing decal is within 30 days of expiration.
Containerization and Specialized Containers
- Containerization: A method where large quantities of materials are consolidated into standardized containers.
- Open-top Containers: Have removable tarps instead of rigid roofs for more versatile usage.
- Mobile Facilities: Containers equipped with electrical services and utilities for specialized functions.
Container Markings and Guidelines
- Marking Representations: Each container features markings indicating its size and type, e.g., "2210".
- Minor Defects Management: Documented at the inspector's discretion, but might not require immediate repair unless impacting safety or usability.
- Transportation Limitations: Containers with major IMDG defects may only be used for general cargo.
Common Inspection Issues
- Major Issues Preventing Usage: A dent in the door header can prevent side-opening containers from transporting hazardous materials like bombs.
