NON-PRESSURE TANK CONTAINERS

u
IM 101 AND IM 102 TANKS:

u
Only way to tell the difference between a IM 101 and 102 is the specification plate. Both the IM 101 and 102 tanks transport liquid materials at maximum allowable working pressures (MAWP) of up to 100 psig. Tanks are tested at 1.5 times MAWP.
IM 101 (IMO Type 1) TANKS

u
TRANSPORTS BOTH HAZARDOUS AND NON-HAZARDOUS CARGO.

u
u u
May contain toxic, corrosive, and flammable liquids with flash points below 32 F (0 C). Capacities range 5,000 to 6,300 gallons. MAWP of f 25.4 psig (1.75 ( bar) ) to 100 psig (6.8 bar). 4 bar tank is most common See DOT 49 CFR 178.270 to 178.271.1.
