Fill quantities and fill height of BB901
BB901 holds 0.89 m³ by calculation and carries 1,250 kg at safety factor 5:1. The table shows the weight of the full bag and the permitted fill height.
| Items | Material (guide value) | Bulk density t/m³ | Weight at full volume | max. fill height | Fill level |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BB901 | Sand, dry | 1,50 | 1,335 kg | 103 cm of 110 cm | 94 % |
| BB901 | Gravel, chippings | 1,60 | 1,425 kg | 96 cm of 110 cm | 88 % |
| BB901 | Rubble, mixed | 1,40 | 1,245 kg | full height, 110 cm | 100 % |
| BB901 | Soil, excavated material | 1,60 | 1,425 kg | 96 cm of 110 cm | 88 % |
| BB901 | Cement, loose | 1,20 | 1,070 kg | full height, 110 cm | 100 % |
Guide values as in the Fill Limit Calculator; the measured bulk density of your material is what counts. With dry sand, BB901 reaches the load capacity at 103 cm fill height.
Quantity planning with BB901
How many BB901 do you need for a given quantity of material? The table uses the nominal volume of 0.89 m³ and 300 pieces per pallet. With sand (1.50 t/m³), the load capacity of 1,250 kg limits the fill quantity per bag to 0.83 m³.
| Items | Material quantity | Bags at full volume | Pallets | Bags for sand at the load capacity limit | Pallets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BB901 | 10 m³ | 12 | 1 | 12 | 1 |
| BB901 | 25 m³ | 29 | 1 | 30 | 1 |
| BB901 | 50 m³ | 57 | 1 | 60 | 1 |
| BB901 | 100 m³ | 113 | 1 | 120 | 1 |
Worked example for 100 m³ of material
How many BB901 are needed depends on the density: with light material the volume of 0.89 m³ fills the bag; with heavy material the load capacity of 1,250 kg is reached earlier.
- Sand, dry (1.50 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 150 t. One BB901 takes 0.83 m³ or 1,250 kg; the load capacity of 1,250 kg sets the limit. You need 120 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
- Gravel, chippings (1.60 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 160 t. One BB901 takes 0.78 m³ or 1,250 kg; the load capacity of 1,250 kg sets the limit. You need 128 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
- Rubble, mixed (1.40 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 140 t. One BB901 takes 0.89 m³ or 1,245 kg; the volume of 0.89 m³ sets the limit. You need 113 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
- Soil, excavated material (1.60 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 160 t. One BB901 takes 0.78 m³ or 1,250 kg; the load capacity of 1,250 kg sets the limit. You need 128 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
- Cement, loose (1.20 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 120 t. One BB901 takes 0.89 m³ or 1,070 kg; the volume of 0.89 m³ sets the limit. You need 113 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
Handling of BB901
- BB901 has four lifting loops. With BB901, always attach all four; crane and forklift are possible.
- The skirt of BB901 is tied shut after filling. This keeps dust in.
- BB901 is coated. According to the data sheet the fabric protects against the ingress of moisture and is suitable for rain and outdoor storage. UV light still weakens it.
- When filled, BB901 weighs up to 1,250 kg. Lifting equipment, lifting accessories and ground must be rated for this.
- A pallet holds 300 pieces of BB901 (6 bundles of 50 pieces). Store unused bags in their original packaging.
