DESCRIPTION:Tank containers must be at least 80%% full to avoid the dangerous surge of liquids in transit. On the other hand, they should not, as a rule, be more than 95%% full, or there will not be enough volume space for thermal expansion. The extent of thermal expansion can be calculated for each load based on the following formula:
-
ΔV = Va · γ · ΔT;
-
Ve = Va (1 + γ · ΔT);
-
ΔV: change in volume;
-
Va: volume at initial temperature a;
-
Ve: final volume at temperature e;
-
γ: coefficient of cubic (thermal) expansion;
-
ΔT: temperature difference in degrees Kelvin.
Tank-containers intended for the transport of foodstuffs must be labeled "Potable Liquids only".
Some hazardous materials must be transported in tank containers with no entry or exit openings below the surface of the liquid.
Tank containers are generally designed for an operating pressure of up to 3 bar (above atmospheric). The test pressure used is 4.5 bar (above atmospheric).
If the cargo requires temperature-controlled transport, tank containers can be equipped with insulation or heating. The cargo temperature can be precisely controlled using temperature sensors.
USE:Tank containers are used for liquid cargoes such as:
-
Food: fruit juices, spirits, sweet oils;
-
Chemicals: Hazardous materials such as fuels, toxic substances, corrosion protection agents.
