There shall be no defects, imperfections, or omissions which would tend to impair the protection afforded by the package as a whole. 2.3 All orders should be shipped complete in one shipment. Detailed packing lists shall be issued showing weights and dimensions and exact contents of each case. All paperwork shall be completed in accordance with instructions in this specification.
3.0
MATERIAL, DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF WOODEN BOXES AND PALLETS 3.1 Lumber shall be sound and well seasoned to a moisture content of not less than ten (10) percent nor more than twenty (20) percent of its oven dry weight and be of nominal dimensions. Material shall be Douglas fir or equal for boxes and Class C woods for pallets. Pieces shall be free from all defects that may materially weaken them or interfere with nailing. Knots shall be sound and not in excess of 1/3 the width of the board. Knots shall be so located as not to cause weaknesses. All nails used in boxes and crates shall be cement coated wire box nails.

3.2.12 All internal framework shall be of 2" lumber and shall have diagonal bracing commensurate with the size of the container. 3.2.13 Crates shall be constructed of nominal lumber indicated for sheathed crates. Crates shall be diagonally braced on all faces and suitable for lumber hooks, slings and forklifts. Skids shall be installed where total weight exceeds 200 pounds. A fully sheathed box is preferred for material and equipment weighing over 1,000 pounds, though in instances where open crate construction is applicable, specification for skidded, framed boxes shall be followed insofar as skid framing, waterproofing and marking are concerned. Crate must be constructed to support its own gross weight when supported by grab-hooks at the top, slings around the end or base, or forklift forks, and to withstand crushing action when pushed or moved by drag lines. 3.2.14 Metal strapping shall be unannealed steel applied with a stretching tool and secured with crimped steel seals. Metal strap must be cut evenly at seal with no sharp edge. Strap must be applied one-sixth the distance from each end of box. Straps used shall be at least 3/4" x 0.028" H.D. for crates less than 100 pounds, and 1-1/4" x 0.035" H.D. for crates over 100 pounds. The same rule shall apply for corner straps. Straps shall be held in place by the use of edge protectors. 3.2.15 Heavy items shall be immobilized with wood braces. Fragile items shall be cushioned. Material packed in large boxes shall be layered between plywood sheets to maintain load integrity during transit. 3.3 PALLETS 3.3.1 Standard pallets shall be Class C wood construction 48" x 48" unless material to be palletized requires additional length.

3.3.2 Pallets shall be double face, double wing, non-reversible type with two way entry. Both top and bottom deckboards or plywood decks protrude 4" beyond stringers for bar sling loading aboard ship. 3.3.3 Pallets shall have three (3) Class C wood stringers of uniform height, providing not less than 3-1/2" opening between top and bottom deckboards. 3.3.4 All deckboards shall be parallel and fastened to stringers at 90o angles. Edge boards of top and bottom decks should not be less than 6" nominal width. Remainder of the deckboards may be random 4" to 8" width. All deckboards shall be nominal 1" lumber of uniform thickness. Maximum spacing between deckboards shall be no more than 2". 3.3.5 Three (3) kinds of fastenings are acceptable: Bolts and nuts, drive screws (helically threaded nails), and annular ring nails. A. When bolts and nuts are used, the nut bearing surface of the pallet will be faced with a combination of flat and lock washers. Teenuts are recommended, which permit elimination of flat and lock washers, although it is necessary to apply torque washers under commercial carriage bolt heads. Counterboring of deckboards is necessary. Outside edge deckboards shall have at least two (2) bolt and nut combinations at each end, and at least one (1) bolt and nut at center bearing points. Random width deckboards should have at least one (1) bolt and nut combination at each bearing point. The correct size of teenut or equivalent for various pallet loads is as follows: To 2500 pounds - 1/4" x 20 To 4000 pounds - 5/16" x 16 Over 4000 pounds - 3/8" x 16 B. For deckboards not over 1" thick, use cement coated 2-1/2" 8D flat head, diamond point drive screws or cement coated No. 10 wire gauge 2-1/2" diamond point annular ring nails. Deckboards shall be nailed at all bearing points. For 3-1/2" to 5-3/8" width of deckboard, use two (2) of either type of nail.

PRESERVATION 4.1 Articles fabricated of metals will be exposed to severe environments of moisture, sand, and heat. Process all metals subject to corrosion with a rust preventative suitable for the purpose intended. Iron and steel articles not having highly finished surfaces shall be protected by the application of a suitable thin film preservative (hard drying, cold application) if the nature of the item permits removal of the preservative with a petroleum base solvent. 4.2 Steel articles having highly finished surfaces of simple design shall be protected by the application of a suitable heavy preservative (hot dip). Articles such as bearings, impellers, and similar expensive materials shall be coated with transparent plastic dip seal or equivalent prior to packing to prevent damage due to rough handling, rust, and corrosion. Dip seal is available at A.J. Rod Company, Inc., 5011 Navigation Blvd., Houston, Texas 77011.

Crates shall be diagonally braced on all faces and suitable for lumber hooks, slings and forklifts. Skids shall be installed where total weight exceeds 200 pounds. A fully sheathed box is preferred for material and equipment weighing over 1,000 pounds, though in instances where open crate construction is applicable, specification for skidded, framed boxes shall be followed insofar as skid framing, waterproofing and marking are concerned. Crate must be constructed to support its own gross weight when supported by grab-hooks at the top, slings around the end or base, or forklift forks, and to withstand crushing action when pushed or moved by drag lines. 3.2.14 Metal strapping shall be unannealed steel applied with a stretching tool and secured with crimped steel seals. Metal strap must be cut evenly at seal with no sharp edge. Strap must be applied one-sixth the distance from each end of box.

When bolts and nuts are used, the nut bearing surface of the pallet will be faced with a combination of flat and lock washers. Teenuts are recommended, which permit elimination of flat and lock washers, although it is necessary to apply torque washers under commercial carriage bolt heads. Counterboring of deckboards is necessary. Outside edge deckboards shall have at least two (2) bolt and nut combinations at each end, and at least one (1) bolt and nut at center bearing points. Random width deckboards should have at least one (1) bolt and nut combination at each bearing point.
