Example:
Customer wants to ship 2,200 lbs. of alfalfa seed per container.

LEGEND
EH	Empty Height
FH	Fill Height
LBS.	Pounds

What size container do you need?

2,200 lbs / 48 lbs. per ft³
(Bulk Density of Alfalfa Seed per ft³ = 48 lbs.).
Therefore a 46 ft³ Super Sack^® container is needed.

Next you need to determine the FH and the EH.

46 ft³ / .92(factor - see chart below) = 50" FH (+4" = 54" EH)

Your size specification would be:

35" x 35" x 54" (50" Filled Height) with a 45" Diameter, and 2,200 lbs. product capacity.

Formulas:

Diameter:	Factor:
36"	.588
45"	.92
48"	1.064
50"	1.128
55"	1.362
22"	.229

Fill Height of FIBC:
Ft³ / Factor = FH"

Empty Height of FIBC:
FH" + 4" = EH"

Cubic Feet of FIBC:
FH x Factor = Ft³

Cubic Feet Capacity of FIBC:
Ultimate Weight of FIBC / Bulk Density of Product = Ft³

Diameter of FIBC:
Side Panel Width x Number of Panels / 3.1416 = Dia.

Note: A four-panel FIBC will round out after being filled.
Sizing calculations are based on a cylinder form.
