Connection principles and operating/test methods
3D storage bags · Storage in a support vessel
Fluid
Scroll horizontally to see the complete flow.
An example using a bag installed inside a support vessel. Confirm transport suitability of the storage configuration separately. Do not pressurize it arbitrarily.
These conceptual views explain flow direction. Actual piping, wiring and physical flow rates require a separate design.
01 — PROCESS
Where does each step fit?
Define the intended use and conditions to identify the required role of each item.
Filling and storage
Apply the approved fill volume and flow rate, venting and pressure conditions, and record storage time and temperature.
Supply and draining
Supply the next process while checking pump flow, bag collapse and blockages in the drain or tubing.
02 — SELECTION
What should be selected and verified?
A 3D bag must match the internal shape and installation arrangement of its support container. Check deployment during filling, fluid loads, the drainage path and transport conditions to ensure stable use in large-volume processes.
Scroll horizontally to review all columns.
| Bag or assembly function | Item to review | Selection evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Compatibility between container and bag | Shape and port alignment | Internal dimensions, supporting surfaces, drain location and installation method |
| Large-volume filling | Fluid load and deployment | Maximum working volume, filling flow rate, film folds and port stress |
| Maintain quality during storage | Film and storage conditions | Fluid-contact materials, effects of gas permeability on the product, time and temperature |
| Manage damage during transport | Transport system | Distinguish static storage, movement within the facility and off-site transport, and define the validation scope |
| Consistent downstream supply | Drain and pump interface | Permitted pressure and vacuum conditions, tubing inner diameter, residual volume and drainage time |
Volume or film name alone is insufficient. Review the actual fluid, contact conditions, equipment compatibility and supplier evidence.
03 — OPERATING CHECKS
Use operating data to identify improvements.
Do not treat the bag as a pressure vessel
Do not apply excessive pressure to the bag using pumps or gas. Follow the bag and assembly manufacturers’ conditions for permitted pressure, vent paths and response to blockages.
Check deployment during filling
Folds in the bag and entrapment in container gaps can create localized loads. Standardize the manufacturer’s installation and deployment procedures and the operator’s checks.
Distinguish storage from transport
A configuration suitable for static indoor storage is not necessarily suitable for transport. Evaluate movement, vibration and drop conditions with the bag filled, together with the external packaging.
04 — QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Can a bag simply be fitted into an existing tank if the size matches?
Check the internal shape, sharp areas, bottom port, bag deployment and drainage method. Use a support container whose compatibility has been confirmed with the supplier.
Can spare capacity in a large bag be used freely?
Distinguish nominal capacity from the approved actual fill range. Determine the working volume using fluid density, installation state, transport requirements and the manufacturer’s specifications.
Can the bag change while the existing support vessel stays?
Compare bag geometry, deployment, approved fill range and drainage against the vessel’s internal drawing, dimensions and port locations. Include storage conditions and whether the filled assembly will be moved. Confirm bag and support compatibility and the permitted use through supplier evidence and actual installation conditions.
05 — APPLICATION REVIEW
Prepare the conditions for a technical discussion.
Share the current configuration and operating conditions to review selection criteria and required evidence. Suitability and supply scope are confirmed for each application.
- Fluid composition and density; contact, extractables and leachables evidence
- Minimum and maximum fill volume and filling or drainage flow
- Support-vessel drawing, internal dimensions, port positions and installation photos
- Storage time, temperature and sterilization; movement or transport when filled
- Bottom port, pump, tubing and residual volume; evaluation or supply timing
Product types and confirmed supply scope are different.
This page explains selection considerations by application. It is not a commitment to supply every type, size or manufacturer’s product shown. Share the manufacturer and product code, or your configuration requirements, to discuss supply availability and outstanding checks.
- Existing product code
- Required volume, ports and tubing
- Equipment and support vessel
- Expected quantity and requested timing
