Fill quantities and fill height of BBA90
BBA90 holds 0.89 m³ by calculation and carries 1,000 kg at safety factor 5:1. The table shows the weight of the full bag and the permitted fill height. The guide values apply to typical bulk materials, not to asbestos waste.
| Items | Material (guide value) | Bulk density t/m³ | Weight at full volume | max. fill height | Fill level |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BBA90 | Rubble, mixed | 1,40 | 1,245 kg | 88 cm of 110 cm | 80 % |
| BBA90 | Sand, dry | 1,50 | 1,335 kg | 82 cm of 110 cm | 75 % |
| BBA90 | Soil, excavated material | 1,60 | 1,425 kg | 77 cm of 110 cm | 70 % |
Guide values as in the Fill Limit Calculator; the measured bulk density of your material is what counts. With dry sand, BBA90 reaches the load capacity at 82 cm fill height.
Quantity planning with BBA90
How many BBA90 do you need for a given quantity of material? The table uses the nominal volume of 0.89 m³ and 350 pieces per pallet. With sand (1.50 t/m³), the load capacity of 1,000 kg limits the fill quantity per bag to 0.67 m³.
| Items | Material quantity | Bags at full volume | Pallets | Bags for sand at the load capacity limit | Pallets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BBA90 | 10 m³ | 12 | 1 | 15 | 1 |
| BBA90 | 25 m³ | 29 | 1 | 38 | 1 |
| BBA90 | 50 m³ | 57 | 1 | 75 | 1 |
| BBA90 | 100 m³ | 113 | 1 | 150 | 1 |
Worked example for 100 m³ of material
How many BBA90 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 1,000 kg is reached earlier.
- Rubble, mixed (1.40 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 140 t. One BBA90 takes 0.71 m³ or 1,000 kg; the load capacity of 1,000 kg sets the limit. You need 140 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
- Sand, dry (1.50 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 150 t. One BBA90 takes 0.67 m³ or 1,000 kg; the load capacity of 1,000 kg sets the limit. You need 150 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
- Soil, excavated material (1.60 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 160 t. One BBA90 takes 0.63 m³ or 1,000 kg; the load capacity of 1,000 kg sets the limit. You need 160 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
Handling of BBA90
- BBA90 has four lifting loops. With BBA90, always attach all four; crane and forklift are possible.
- The skirt of BBA90 is tied shut after filling. This keeps dust in.
- BBA90 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, BBA90 weighs up to 1,000 kg. Lifting equipment, lifting accessories and ground must be rated for this.
- BBA90 carries the asbestos warning print in seven languages. Leave it visible and clarify type of packaging and maximum weight with your acceptance point in advance.
- The standard reference TRGS 519 in the data sheet of BBA90 is not an approval; the acceptance is clarified by your waste disposal company, see Asbestos and mineral wool.
- A pallet holds 350 pieces of BBA90 (7 bundles of 50 pieces). Store unused bags in their original packaging.
Open details for BBA90
For BBA90 the data sheet gives one value unclearly or not at all: the fabric weight in g/m². It says “on request” there. We confirm the value in writing before your order. Plan lifting equipment, filling and number of pallets only with it, and ask via the enquiry form.
