Abstract

A system includes a rigid container configured to receive a dry cargo and a flexible container configured to receive a bulk liquid. The flexible container is configured to be disposed within the rigid container when the flexible container contains the bulk liquid. The flexible container includes a set of container portions and a set of restriction portions. Each container portion has a first cross-sectional area and each restriction portion defines a second cross-sectional area less than the first cross-sectional area. Each restriction portion is disposed between a pair of adjacent container portions and is configured to restrict a flow of the bulk liquid therebetween. The restricting of the flow of the bulk liquid between the container portions is configured to limit load shifting associated with the flexible container when disposed in the rigid container.

Abstract

A flexible container includes a container body and a flexible cover. The container body defines an interior volume and includes a side wall that defines an opening. The opening is configured to receive a bulk material therethrough such that the bulk material can be disposed within an interior volume of the container body. The flexible cover can be coupled to the side wall about the opening. The cover is configured to fluidically isolate the interior volume from a volume substantially outside of the flexible container.
