transportation as a 40 ft tank container; the ISO 40ft dimension tank container frame loads a cryogenic
a container as well as pertaining valves and measuring instruments, and shall be used for container
transport of liquefied natural gas.
Cryogenic tank container design for liquefied gases is a complex task given the applicable standards and regulations and requirements over the tank’s life cycle. This cryogenic container consists of two layers. The outer and the inside layer, namely the inner and outer tanks. Between the two layers, there is a space called a vacuum which functions as a vacuum and air insulation to reduce heat transfer in the tank so transporting this iso tank will remain safe and does not easily get hot if exposed to heat.
The cryogenic container consists of a stainless steel inner vessel and carbon steel outer vessel, and the
the insulation layer consists of vacuum composite insulation so that natural evaporation of the liquefied
natural gas is kept to an absolute minimum and able to provide safe transportation. Also, the necessary
valves and measuring instruments for the operation are compactly installed inside the rear operating
cabinet.
In times of unloading etc., the pressurizing evaporator will use the local ground facilities and a pressure
build coil is not installed.

Why Go for Tank Container?
They have multiple benefits and are
- More productive than utilizing more small drums.
- simple to ship
- simple and brisk load and unload load through rooftop lids and valves.
Using a Tank Container disposes of the dangers of relocating or moving liquids from one vessel to the next. This gives a financially savvy, secure, and very protected suitable method of shipment.
After shipping, the tank container is moved to a cleaning terminal preparing it for the next cargo.
ISO Tank Container
ISO tanks are cost-effective as they can place and effectively transport less than shipload or truckload materials with much less shipping and handling cost. They can generally be stacked in 90mins whereas drums require a few hours.
Moreover, the freight can be easily carried by truck to the railroad, from the train to the transport deck and ISO tanks can also be shipped via air.
Like other container types, ISO tanks can also be stacked. Long Beach Off-Coast Port permits two ISO tanks to be shipped on the well with two more tanks loaded on top. This technique allows thousands of gallons of liquid to be shipped in much less time.
The ISO tank can accommodate around 4 thousand gallons much more than the previous standard-sized methods involving an IBC tank that could only place at around 3 thousand gallons each or 55-gallon drums.
Types and sizes:
All ISO holders require to adjust to guidelines, for example, size, strength, and reliability. ISO tank containers have dimensions and features set according to the principles of the International Organization for Standardization.
The ISO Tank Container permits the shipping of a wide range of items. From edible fluids and non-hazardous liquids to shipping dangerous materials including erosive and explosive materials, toxins, and flammables.
What is the average cost of an ISO Tank container?
You can buy an ISO Tank container for U$21,000.00, however, if worked beneficially for an additional 12 years, can cost you under US$annum.
Types of ISO Tank Containers:
UN assigned the items that are appropriate for transportation inside a tank container with an extra ‘T’ code in the table, and this shows the sort of tank that should be utilized for shipping it.
Based on the usage, the following are the types of ISO Tank containers.
| Container Type | Usage |

T Code System Classifications for ISO Tank Containers
The IMO classifications for ISO Tank Containers have been replaced by the ‘T’ code system.
The T-Code system specifies the test pressure of each type of tank container, its shell thickness, the pressure relief set-up, and the bottom and top outlet arrangement. T-Code instructions apply to dangerous goods in classes 1 and 3 through 9. Class 2.
The T-Code system for tank containers was introduced in 2001. The T-Code system identifies tank containers from T1 through T22 and identifies the type of cargo each container is designed to carry.
ISO tank containers have to be manufactured in accordance with strict international codes for worldwide carriage of liquids whether by land or sea.
Whilst the following isn’t a complete listing of the IMO types, it provides an indication of the original system of classification.
IMO Type 1 – Hazardous Tanks – approved for transportation of substances of Class 1 and Classes 3 through 9 where the liquids have a flashpoint of less than 0°C. Some examples of the types of liquids include explosives, flammable liquids, and corrosive and toxic substances.
IMO Type 2 – Low Hazardous Tanks – approved for transportation of Class 3 substances that have a flashpoint of 0 – 61°C. Some examples of combustible liquids include diesel and cooking oils.
IMO Type 5 – Gas Tanks – approved for transport of non-refrigerated liquefied gases of Class 2.
For reference, IMO stands for International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code.
T Code System for ISO Tank Containers and specifications:

In addition to the above types of ISO tank containers, there are 2 others, namely, a T50 and a T70.
The T50 is a gas tank and has a minimum test pressure of 57.6 bar. Under the IMO system, this was classified IMO5.
The T70 is a cryogenic tank container designed for carrying liquefied gases. Under the IMO system, this was classified IMO7.
How Can use ISO tank Containers to manage our cargo effectively?
These tank containers are tough. Pressure load tests are played out each time a container is unloaded. As the ISO tank containers ship all types of hazardous or non-hazardous materials, they need to be certified and examined.
How to load materials?
You can load and unload a tank container from the top and the base by connecting the hoses to the valves. There are a vent and one valve on the top of a standard tank vessel, and there is a valve at the base.
The ISO frame makes these tank containers dispatched with Long Beach Off-Coast Port delivery choices that incorporate container ships, rail lines, and trucks.
Effective use of ISO Tanks
All in all, tank containers, at any rate, should always be 80% full, to prevent dangerous flooding of fluids during the transit. You can’t fill them more than 95%; otherwise, there will be no space to consider thermal expansion.
They can transport a number of hazardous and non-hazardous materials, including:
- Molasses
- Milk and other dairy items
- Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic Beverages
- Condensed sugars
- Hydrogen Peroxide
- Sulfur Acid/Nitric Acid
- Synthetic compounds/Solvents
- Fluid Food Products
- Warming oil/Vegetable oils
- Gas/Diesel/Liquefied petrol gas
