Impact Barriers: RAM BAG ‘A’ FRAME PAS 68-2007. 1500-48

PAS 68:2007. Dynamic impact test.

The impact conditions of the test were met with a total test mass of 1500 kg at a speed of 48km/h and at an angle of 90° to the line of the impact face.

When conducting the test, 4 Ram Bags were used. The bags were interconnected using 12 No: bolts threaded through webbing loops made from straps surrounding the bags. Each bag was of a triangular cross-section with walls 335mm thick and then filled with water. The test vehicle hit the centre of the 4-unit Ram Bag as designed and on impact, the centre two bags ruptured, thus spraying the vehicle with water. The structure then gave way allowing the vehicle to come to a halt without major damage.

After a period of about 5-10 minutes, the vehicle could be removed from the Ram Bags, as it could not be removed prior to the water draining from the remaining two bags. Penetration was zero and no debris was ejected. A following vehicle could not have passed through.

Impact Barriers: RAM BAG UNIT PAS 68-2007. 3500-48

PAS 68:2007. Dynamic impact test:

The impact conditions of the test were met with a total test mass of 3500 kg at a speed of 48km/h and at an angle of 90° to the line of the impact face.

The test was conducted with 4 sets of panels comprising of 5 water-filled panels in each set and secured with reinforced fabric webbing.

Impact Results

As designed, the vehicle impacted the ram panels, and rapidly came to a standstill once the centre two groups of panels burst, and released all the water.

All bags vented water through the top pressure relief valves as the vehicle was slowing down. There was zero penetration by the vehicle, although the panels had moved a maximum of three metres from the datum line with zero dispersal of debris.
