Types of FIBCs
By Static Electricity
Type A
Type A bags have no special safety precautions and are unsuitable for use in any potentially flammable environment.
Type B
Type B in which the FIBC wall fabric has a breakdown voltage of less than 4 kV in order to prevent the occurrence of propagating brush discharges. These can be used in the presence of potentially flammable dust atmospheres provided its ignition energy is greater than ca. 3 mJ.
Type C
Type C, which are constructed using a wall fabric, that has a resistance to earth from any location on the FIBC, including the slings, of less than 108 W. Such FIBCs, provided they are adequately grounded during use, are suitable for use in the presence of any potentially flammable atmosphere, either dust and gas or vapor.
Type D
Type D, involves the use of a woven polypropylene fabric containing interwoven special threads. In recent laboratory tests it was no longer possible to ignite a flammable propane air atmosphere with discharges from the FIBC fabric itself.
