CAPB in IBCs: reconcile net mass, volume and the concentration basis

An IBC’s nominal capacity does not establish the net kilograms of CAPB delivered. Keep the commercial quantity, container tare and concentration basis separate when reconciling the shipment.

Start with the unit in the purchase order

Confirm whether the offer is per net kilogram, per litre under stated conditions or per container with a declared net fill. Record the actual container identification and net quantity evidence. Do not multiply a nominal IBC volume by an assumed density from a different CAPB grade.

The BASF Dehyton PK 45 sheet describes a particular product composition. It cannot supply the net fill or density of an ENVO shipment. Request actual grade and package information for the offer under review.

Keep the reconciliation within its limits

These figures are invented. A volume conversion needs the actual density basis and measurement conditions; it is not justified by the package’s name. Concentration evidence must use the agreed active definition rather than total solids.

Check transfer residue and accepted quantity under the site’s receiving procedure before treating the whole net mass as usable production input. Send ENVO the required commercial unit, package format, concentration definition and destination. A clear order avoids a preventable dispute in which the seller and buyer priced different quantities.
