Overall Configuration - Racked container - a suspect container that has visual distortion

to the extent that it would prevent proper alignment of handling equipment, mounting on

chassis or insertion into ship cells. The over-all outside dimensions must be within the

following tolerances:

Over-all

height 8' 0" (2438 MM) + - .19" (5MM)

Over-all

height 8' 6" (2591MM) + .19" (5 MM)

Over-all

width 8' 0" (2438MM) + - .19" (5MM)

Over-all

length 19' 10.5" (6058MM) + 0-.25" (6 MM) (20 foot long container)

Over-all

length 40' 0' (12192 MM) + 0-.38 (10MM) (40 foot long container)

Allowable tolerances of diagonal distances between opposite corner fittings, when measured

between center of the apertures of the corner fittings, are: End (D5 or 06) + 0-.38"

(10MM), Top, bottom, side (D1, D2, D3, or D4) + 0"" .38" (10MM). Side or end panels that

are bowed inward to severely affect the normal interior cube utilization.
