“What is your pricing on ISO Tanks?
This seems to be a question we receive a lot from inquiries overseas. Unfortunately you cannot receive a good answer without a good question. There are many different types of ISO Tanks for differing products. There is however one tank specification which is heavily quoted; the IMO-1 ISO tank container or T11 ISO tank container.
IMO-1 / T11 ISO (hazardous) tanks:
These units are designed for the carriage of:
• Liquids with a flashpoint of less than 0 deg C
• Certain high-hazard toxins or corrosives
• Spontaneously combustible materials
• Cargoes which are dangerous when exposed to moisture
• Oxidising substances
• Liquids with a total containment pressure of not more than the maximum allowable working pressure of the tank
The standard IMO-1 / T11 ISO tank is provided with both a top and bottom outlet.
This tank code will typically have the following specifications:
a) 4 Bar working pressure and a 6 Bar test pressure.
b) Minimum shell thickness of 6mm in mild steel or the equivalent in stainless steel.
c) a bottom discharge valve with a 3” BSP, plus a provision for top.
d) steam heating.
e) 1 PV
f) Tare weight between 3,750 – 4,200kg.
g) Insulation of 50mm.
h) Design temperature – typically 120°C, but could be as low as 93°C.
i) Capacities ranging between 17,500 – 26,000 litres.
j) Within ISO (20ft x 8ft x 8.5ft tall)
This tank type will generally carry more variety of products than any other.
Note: Certain products (i.e. corrosive or unstable) may require the vessel to be constructed from special types of steel or specially lined. Tank design pressure cannot exceed 15 psi, nor can it carry products with vapour pressure at 65 deg C.
