Volume determination of carrier bags and pouches

The method is used to determine the volume of pouches and bags, feasible up to a maximum volume of 100 l. The measuring principle is based on filling the bags with a plastic granulate (bulk density 500 - 600 kg/m³), weighing the bags and calculating the volume.

This test determines the internal volume of flexible pouches and carrier bags up to a capacity of 100 liters. The bag is filled with a standardized plastic granulate of known bulk density, and the volume is calculated based on the weight of the filling material.

The resulting value provides an objective measurement of the actual filling capacity of a packaging format. This data is used to verify product specifications, ensure compliance with standards such as DIN EN 13590, and compare the usable volume of different packaging designs.
