Q1
How often should the appearance of the tank container be checked?
Regularly check the appearance of the tank: The appearance of the tank should be checked regularly (recommended at least once a month) to check for dents, cracks, corrosion spots, etc.
Q2
How to perform internal inspection and cleaning for tank containers?
Internal inspection and cleaning: After each unloading, the inside of the tank should be inspected. Check whether there is any residual cargo, impurities, signs of corrosion, etc. For some high-viscosity liquids, such as heavy oil, syrup, etc., a thick layer of material may remain on the inner wall of the tank, which requires special cleaning equipment and cleaning agents to clean.
Q3
How to choose the right size tank container for me?
First calculate the cargo volume, then match the container capacity, and finally select the right size tank container based on the carrying capacity of the transport vehicle.
Q4
What are the differences between cylindrical and oval tank body shapes?
The cylindrical tank body has superior performance in bearing internal pressure and is suitable for transporting high-pressure liquids or gases, such as liquefied petroleum gas, compressed natural gas, etc.; the oval tank body can make better use of space while ensuring a certain volume, and can reduce the impact force caused by liquid sloshing during vehicle driving or ship sailing.
Q5
What materials are used for different types of liquid cargoes?
For ordinary non-corrosive liquids, such as drinking water, cooking oil, etc., stainless steel materials such as 304 or 316 stainless steel are often used due to good corrosion resistance and hygienic properties; for highly corrosive liquids, such as various acid and alkali solutions, special lining materials such as rubber, plastic or glass fiber are used to enhance corrosion resistance.
Q6
How do the safety devices protect the tank container?
Tank containers are equipped with advanced safety devices such as safety valves and emergency shut-off devices. The safety valve can automatically open when the pressure in the tank exceeds the set value to release pressure and prevent explosion; the emergency shut-off device quickly cuts off the delivery pipeline in an accident to avoid cargo leakage.
