TESTING REPORT <br />DATE: 21 May 2014 <br />SUBJECT: Trash carts <br />PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: Rehrig 65 gallon <br />TEST: VOLUMETRIC LOADING CAPACITY <br />TEST DESCRIPTION: To determine the volume of a container <br />MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: The volumetric loading capacity of the container <br />should be measured according to ANSI Z245.30 (paragraph 7.2.4.2.1 and Appendix A). <br />TEST PROCEDURE: <br />1. The volume of the cart is measured using the tank (immersion) method. <br />2. The empty cart is placed inside a tank with sufficient capacity to receive the container to <br />be tested. The container must be level (that is, not inclined). <br />3. Simultaneously fill the tank and the container with water at a standard temperature <br />(59° ± 9° F), <br />4. Measure the volume of water inside the container to an accuracy of f2 percent of the <br />measured capacity of the cart. <br />5. The total volume is to be within tolerances on capacity according to product standard. <br />ANSI specifies: "accuracy of measurement must be +2 percent of the measured capacity <br />of the cart." <br />TEST RESULTS: <br />The cart had a capacity of 64.9 gallons. <br />SUMMARY: The cart volume is within the 2% tolerance of 65 gallons, <br />Appendix 1: Test setup photos. <br />Andrew George <br />Assistant Professor, Manufacturing Engineering Technology <br />Brigham Young University <br />265 CTB, Provo, UT 84602 <br />
