For FIBC bulk bags, the cyclic testing often focuses on drops, abrasions, spills, falls, impacts and other cases where the bag needs to stand up to repeat use throughout its lifetime. Cyclic load tests also happen for FIBC bags, ensuring they won’t tear, rip or deform under different loads in different environments.
Specific tests will have a variety of different criteria. For example, a load test must — generally — adhere to two main criteria:
The FIBC bag must withstand the load test at a minimum required setting before a failure occurs — with the setting determined by bag type and projected use.
The FIBC bag can have no leakage of contents or breakage of the lifting devices — like handles — to the extent that the lifting device cannot support the load.
Cyclic top lift requires the bags to go through 30 cycles @ 2X SWL (Safe Working Load) with a final cycle @ 5x SWL for final approval
