2.1.3 Sandbag Tie String.

The length of the tie string shall not be less than 24 inches. The ends of the tie string shall be heat-sealed or knotted to prevent unraveling. The tie string shall be located on one side of the bag (at seam or folded bag edge), not less than 4 inches nor more than 5 inches from the top edge of the bag.

3.1.2 Drop Test

Fill the sandbag with 44 pounds (± ½lb) (approximately 760 cubic inches) of clean, dry sand and knot the tie string firmly about the choke. Adjust the contents of the bag to form a shape about 4 inches by 10 inches by 20 inches before each drop. Drop the bag (free fall) from a height of 48 inches on one face, on one side seam or the folded area where the seam would normally be located on a tubular bag, and on the butt onto a hard, unyielding surface such as stone or concrete of sufficient mass to absorb the shock without deflection. Every fourth sandbag tested shall be dropped (free fall) on the tied (choke) end in lieu of the butt drop. After each drop, the sandbag shall be examined for visible evidence of damage such as tears, punctures, broken yarns or thread, or exposure of the contents by any means other than sifting.
