Seahorse Case Tests

Watertight Integrity Test

All cases were tested under water. Cases were submerged below the top-bottom union line for 60 hours. No signs of moisture were found inside the cases.

In a second test the cases were submerged in four (4) feet of water for three (3) hours with no signs of moisture inside the case.

Impact Test
This test was performed by dropping a 4.5 lb cylindrical piece of steel onto the center of the top and then onto the bottom of each case from a height of 6’.  The test was performed three times on each surface. No material failure or cracks were found.

Handle Test
Repetitive impact test.  15 lbs of weight was added to each case.  Cases were then hung by their handle and given “jolt” tests.  Every 6 seconds, for 48 hours the cycle machine lifted and dropped each case. Neither the handle, the handle pin nor the case itself showed any signs of stress. 

Weight test. Cases were loaded with 75 lbs of steel, and hung by their handle for 60 hours. No stress marks were found in handle, pin, latches, hinges or any component of the case.
