"Our Real Strength is Our Soldiers"

"Compared to other countries, our soldiers are

much more dedicated. They can go to any extent

to protect their motherland,"

Opines the former Chief of the Army Staff, Gen

VN Sharma (Retd) in an interview to VK Joshi onthe occasion of Armoured Corps Day.

BODY ARMOUR

Modern body armor is divided into two main categories: Hard

body armor and Soft body armor.

Soft body armor is not made out of soft materials; it is formed

from advanced fibers that can be sewn into vests.

Hard body armor, made out of thick composite, ceramic or metal

plates, defeats high energy bullets.

It is hard enough that a bullet or other weapon is deflected. That

is, the armor material pushes out on the bullet with the same

force (or nearly the same force) with which the bullet pushes in,

so the armor is not penetrated.

REQUIREMENTS FOR BODY ARMOUR

Following features in body armour are essential

Provide adequate protection to wearer from bullets

Trauma should be minimum Less than 25mm/44mm

Comfortable and light weight

Easy to wear and take off

Fabric should not be irritant to skin

Added features like camouflage, water proof, pockets to

store essential items, computer, GPS, batteries etc.

Food Container Plastic

Food Container Plastic has been design to keep foodfresh and hot in cold climatic conditions.

5.5 liters is its capacity and stored quantity of food in a

food container is sufficient for approximately six

people.

The Food Container Plastic can retain food to edible

condition in cold climate of -250C for approximately 5

to 6 hours.

Filled food container has been tested for drop weight

test and concluded that it can be drop by Helicopter in

case where road transport is tedious such as in high

altitude region.

Characteristic Features

Strength:The main (outer) body of Food Container Plastic

5.5 Liters is made up of (HDPE) plastic.

Katordan and lid katordan made up of stainless

steel.

The food container is strong enough and food

can be supplied by dropping filled food container

in high altitude areas.

Its strength is enough so that one can use it as a

stool and sit over it.

8/3/2019 BPJ & FOOD

42/49

Storage Capacity:

The storage volume of Food Container Plastic is 5.5liters.

It has four katordan and lid katordans.

Food can be stored in this Food Container Plastic for

approximately six person of normal diet.

Stainless steel casing can be used as a big glass of

water for storage of water.

The quantity of water can be stored in the stainless

steel casing is about 6 liters.

8/3/2019 BPJ & FOOD

43/49

Thermal Insulation:

Rigid polyurethane foam is filled between inner

and outer wall of the main plastic (HDPE) body of

Food Container Plastic.

This provides higher level thermal insulation to

Food Container Plastic.

This thermal insulation checks the heat out flow

from the stored food in cold climatic condition.

8/3/2019 BPJ & FOOD

Corrosion Resistant:

Stainless steel katordan and lid katordan of Food

Container Plastic has been tested for corrosion

resistance.

The Food Container Plastic is very good against

corrosion even in adverse environmental

conditions.

Cryogenic Resistant:

The main body, stainless steel katordan and lid

katordanof Food Container Plastic shows excellent

behaviour at lower temperature of -250C. the Food

Container Plastic have not shown any contraction,

cracking etc. at this lower temperature.

Light Weight:

The weight of he total assembly of Food ContainerPlastic is 4.5 kg. this is very less as compared to

excellent strength and thermal insulation provided

by the Food Container Plastic.
