Vibration Test

The FIBC is placed on the ground and a 100 mm knife score, completely penetrating the wall of the

wide face, is made at a 45∞ angle to the principal axis of the FIBC, halfway between the bottom

surface and the top level of the contents.

The FIBC is then subjected to a uniformly superimposed load, equivalent to twice the maximum

permissible load, by using the hydraulic cylinder described in the top lift Test and a pressure plate

covering the top of the FIBC. This load is maintained for a least five minutes.

After removal of the load, the FIBC is lifted clear of the floor, in the manner by which it is designed,

and is held suspended for a period of five minutes.

The FIBC is inspected in accordance with the criteria for passing the test.
