Isotanks
The ISO tank container was developed for the carriage of all types of liquids, ranging from, but not
limited to, potable (food grade) liquids, non hazardous, and hazardous liquids, including corrosives,
flammables, toxics, and explosives. The tank container eliminates the risks in transferring liquids from
one vessel to another, and provides for an extremely safe, secure, cost effective, and viable mode of
transportation. Once the tank container has discharged, it is taken to a recognized cleaning station,
cleaned thoroughly for that product, and then made ready for its next load. Although tank containers
have a fairly uniform external appearance, the construction materials, linings, and fittings vary.
Tanks are classified according to the specification of the tank shell and fittings. It is this classification
and
which determines what type of product maybe carried. The function of the frame is to support
protect the tank as well as to facilitate the stowage, securing and handling by standard ISo container

fully loaded
equipment. When properly handled, the frame is designed to cope with the stresses of a
tank.

Parts of an Isotank

Bottom valve arrangement: Typically tank containers have 3 closures fcir maximum protection of
product leakage. All ITT tanks are pressure tested before loading to ensure no leaks and all valves are
operational. (click image)

Air Inlet valve: Fitted to the top of tank and used as a pressure device during unloading and a recovery
device during loading. (click image)

Safety relief valve(s): A pressure (or sometimes a combination pressure/vacuum) relief valve is fitted to
every tank to protect the tank against excessive over pressure or vacuum
(click image)

Flame Traps: A metal gauze that is fitted over the SRV(s) when carrying flammable products.

It

permits

to be expelled but prevents flashback (click image)

Frames: Iso dimensioned frames are typically fabricated from high tensile carbon steel and comply with
ISO dimensions. (click image)

Cladding: The outer skin around the shell that protects the insulation from water. Usually made from
GRP (glass reinforced plastic) or aluminum (click image)

Data/CSC plates: Shows many details of the tank container including current test data, the
