About this file
This document is a Special Packaging Instruction (SPI) for a Theodolite, Surveying equipment with NSN 5895-01-644-9140. The SPI provides detailed packaging requirements for a military preservation and shipping process, specifying Level A and Level B packaging standards for worldwide shipment, handling, and storage conditions. Key packaging specifications include gross weight of 140 lbs, design fragility G, container dimensions (29x28x22), and strict requirements for wooden packaging materials, which must be constructed from debarked wood and heat-treated to prevent invasive species transmission.
The document includes critical notices about packaging, such as allowing material substitution if it meets MIL-STD-2073 requirements, emphasizing Level A protection for severe shipping conditions like war reserve material and strategic deployments, and mandating specific international phytosanitary standards for wood packaging materials. The final page provides a technical diagram illustrating the recommended overboxing method, with a note explicitly stating that the hard plastic case is not an approved shipping container and must be overboxed as shown in the instruction.
