FAQ

 

Q: What is the difference between a UN T11 and UN T14 ISO tank container?

A: A T11 tank is designed for bottom-discharge transportation of general hazardous and non-hazardous liquids under an MAWP of 4.0 bar. A T14 tank is designed for high-hazard or severely corrosive liquids (like acids); it features top-only discharge connections with no bottom openings, eliminating potential leak points below the liquid level.

Q: How do I choose between a 24,000 L and a 26,000 L tank container?

A: Selection depends on product specific gravity (density) and maximum gross weight limits (typically 36,000 kg). High-density liquids (e.g., caustic soda or heavy acids) reach maximum weight limits in smaller volumes (17,500 L – 21,000 L). Lighter solvents or edible oils utilize 25,000 L – 26,000 L tanks to optimize freight economics per trip.

Q: Are your tank containers suitable for food-grade liquids?

A: Yes. Food-grade units feature electropolished or mechanically mirror-polished internal surfaces (Ra <= 0.4 um), eliminating crevices where bacteria can harbor. They use food-grade gaskets (PTFE / Silicone certified to FDA regulations) and are fitted with dedicated sanitary valve manifolds.

Q: What heating capabilities are built into these tanks?

A: Standard chemical tanks include 6-run longitudinal steam heating channels welded to the lower shell, providing 4.0 m² of heat transfer area. Electric glycol heating or glycol trace lines are available for heat-sensitive cargoes requiring precise temperature maintenance during transit.

Q: What documentation is delivered with the tank container?

A: Every tank container is shipped with a complete Manufacturer's Data Package (MDP), including:
Third-party inspection certificate (BV, LR, or DNV)
ASME Data Report (if applicable)
Initial 2.5-year and 5-year pressure test certificates
Mill Test Certificates (EN 10204 3.1) for shell plates and main flange materials
NDT (Radiography/Penetrant) inspection reports
Cleanliness / Passivation certificates

Q: What is the standard lead time for OEM or fleet orders?

A: Standard T11 / T14 ISO tank configurations have a manufacturing lead time of 4 to 6 weeks. Customized units with specific internal linings (e.g., PTFE), special valve brands, or custom capacities require 6 to 8 weeks depending on raw material availability and third-party inspection schedules.
