charge.
• For instruments weighing less than 54 kg (120 lb),
use a double-walled, corrugated cardboard carton of
159 kg (350 lb) test strength.
• The carton must be large enough to allow approxi-
mately 7 cm (3 inches) on all sides of the instrument
for packing material, and strong enough to accommo-
date the weight of the instrument.
• Surround the equipment with approximately 7 cm
(3 inches) of packing material, to protect the instru-
ment and prevent it from moving in the carton. If
packing foam is not available, the best alternative is
S.D-240 Air Cap™ from Sealed Air Corporation
(Commerce, California 90001). Air Cap looks like a
plastic sheet filled with air bubbles. Use the pink (an-
tistatic) Air Cap™ to reduce static electricity. Wrap-
ping the instrument several times in this material will
protect the instrument and prevent it from moving in
the carton.
4 Seal the carton with strong nylon adhesive tape.
5 Mark the carton "FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE".
