Questions and Answers
-
How Does the Automatic Pressure Equalisation Valve Work?
The built-in automatic valve compensates for pressure differences, for example during air travel. Equalising the pressure stops a vacuum or overpressure building up inside the sealed case, which makes the lid easier to open and reduces stress on the case and its contents.
-
What Foam Insert Options Are Available for the Type 3000?
Standard options are pick-and-pluck cubed foam (SI model), padded divider systems (RPD model), or an empty case for custom foam.
-
How Does the B&W Type 3000 Compare to Pelican Cases?
Both are rugged IP67-rated cases. Contact us for a quote on the Type 3000 in the colour and interior you need.
-
What Is the Payload Capacity of the Type 3000 Case?
B&W does not publish a payload figure for the Type 3000. The case itself weighs 1.7 kg and holds 11.7 litres, so it suits handheld instruments and accessories rather than bench equipment.
-
Can Multiple Type 3000 Cases Be Securely Transported Together?
The cases are stackable, which saves space in storage and transit. Two padlock eyelets (Ø 7 mm) add security.
-
How Does the IP67 Rating Compare to Other Waterproof Standards?
IP67 means complete dust exclusion and protection during temporary submersion up to 1 metre for 30 minutes. It is not a strict step above IP65 or IP66: those cover water jets (IP66 powerful jets), while IP67 covers immersion. For a case that is carried outdoors and may be dropped in water, IP67 is the more relevant rating.
-
Which Military and Transport Standards Does the Type 3000 Meet?
B&W states that the case meets the requirements of MIL-STD-810H, STANAG 4280, DEF STAN 81-41 and ATA 300. B&W's 2019 catalogue notes that the test procedure depends on case size.
-
Can the Case Withstand Extreme Temperature Conditions?
Yes. The polypropylene construction keeps its structural integrity from -30°C to +80°C, so it suits Arctic research, desert field work and industrial use.
-
What Electronic Equipment Fits in the B&W Type 3000 Case?
The internal dimensions (330 x 235 x 150 mm) suit handheld oscilloscopes, digital multimeters and similar compact instruments. Custom foam inserts can be configured for specific equipment layouts.
