5.3 Testing.
5.3.1 Load Capacity Test. Bags selected for the Load Capacity test shall be placed on a smooth horizontal surface and spread open as wide as possible to facilitate inserting the test load. When cans constitute the test load, they shall be free from burrs or sharp edges. Cans shall be gently placed in the bag, 1 at time, by hand, and shall be distributed throughout the bottom portion of the bag. Stacking is not required, but bunching up of the test load shall be avoided. After adding the test load, the bag shall be grasped or clamped within 30 cm (12 inches) from the floor. The bag shall be held in this position for not less than 60 seconds. Any spillage of the test load constitutes failure of the test. Any tear in the bag more than 3 cm (1 inch) long constitutes failure of the test. If 1 more of the 5 bags selected for this test fails, the lot shall be rejected.
5.3.2 Seal Continuity Test. Bags shall be placed in a clean container with smooth sides while adding the water. A volume of water at 210 + 30 C (700 + 50 F) weighing 50 + 1% of the load capacity specified in the contract shall be poured into the bag. (Water at 210 C weighs 998 grams per liter.) The bag shall be grasped or clamped within 30 cm (12 inches) of the top, removed from the container and raised by hand or mechanical means until the bottom of the bag is not less than 30 cm (12 inches) from the floor. The bags shall be held in this position for 60 seconds. Any leakage constitutes failure of the test. If 1 or more of the 5 bags selected for this test fails, the lot shall be rejected.
