Figure 11 2 f11 am 2 full length pallet. Marston mat was extensively used during world war ii by army engineers and seabees construction battalions to build runways and other readily usable surfaces over all kinds of terrain. That is just under 3 feet by 6 feet.

The competition area for a judo match is an 8 to 10 meter square mat. An early in theater use of psp was in constructing a 5 000 foot runway on greenland s bluie west one bw 1 an allied ferry command and u s a a f airfield located on the extreme southwest corner of. The final grading operation must be adequately level so mats when laid do not vary more than l 4inch.
Aircraft crater landing mat runway takeoff. This eventually led to the am2 an aluminum mat measuring about 2 ft by 12 ft that was capable of supporting any military aircraft on soils as weak as 4 cbr. Thirty iso containers can be constructed to form a 1 500 square foot. Although the am2 matting system has proved to be successful for supporting modern aircraft it is difficult to transport by air because of its size and weight.
In the mid 1960s u s. As with the elevator table system the am2 four way system has electric locks on all table and tubestand motions. Generation matting system am x consists of a lightweight foam core sandwiched between composite face sheets. Also included is the accurately counterbalanced orthopedic wallstand.
Navy engineers built on the concept of the xm 19 mat s solid surface and honeycomb core and combined it with the traditional size and shape of previous matting. The critical key performance parameters kpp for am x are a unit weight between 154 7 n m2 3 23 lbs ft2 and 232 7 n m2 4 86 lbs ft2 and a useful life. Am 2 matting consists of 1 1 2 x 2 steel rectangles coated with a epoxy nonskid material available in both 6 and 12 foot lengths and are assembled in a brickwork pattern to form runways taxiways parking and other areas required for aircraft operations and maintenance.
