Zusammenfassung:The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USADACS), Validation Engineering Division (SIOAC-DEV), was tasked by U. S. Army Natick Research, Development and Engineering Center (NRDEC) to evaluate the benefits of various solar radiation protection methods for ISO shipping containers. Protection methods tested consisted of the following: ceramic coatings from Florida Institute of Technology (FIT), NRDEC container cover; NRDEC double-thickness tarpaulin; a container cover from Fit's-Right Canvas and Supply; enamel white paint; and tan paint. A SeaVent container was also tested against these protection methods to assess potential benefits of a container with vents. The objective of the environmental monitoring was to determine which methods provided the best protection against temperature elevation caused by exposure to solar radiation.
