Our airbags level 1 to 4 are approved by the Association of American Railroads (AAR), in order to be able to solve most of the issues that our customers could face.
We conduct in parallel internal tests based on the AAR test procedures :leak tests and burst tests.
Our automatic production lines allows us to offer consistent quality : products are always produced the same way by machines, with very less opportunity for human mistakes.
How our dunnage airbags are tested ?
Leak Tests
"Ten samples shall be inflated to 2.5 psig in a 12 in. (30.5 cm) void and remain there for 19 days. We record the temperature, relative humidity and barometric pressure at the start and end of the test.
After 19 days pneumatic dunnage must retain a minimum of 1.5 psig (60%)."
(test procedure for AAR 1 airbags)
Burst Tests
"Five random samples from Part A shall be inflated to 8 psig in a 12 in. (30.5 cm) void. All 5 sampled air bags must maintain 8 psig for one minute."
