The T10 tank container is a standardized ISO container designed for temporary storage and intermodal transportation of liquid bulk cargoes, including low-hazard and certain categories of hazardous liquids, in accordance with UN T10 requirements.
T10 tank containers are in demand by chemical and agricultural enterprises, logistics operators, industrial fluid manufacturers, and companies focused on the export of bulk liquid products.
Technical specifications of T10 tank containers
The ISO Tank T10 is structurally a welded pressure vessel mounted in a robust 20-foot ISO-standard frame. The tank is made of alloyed stainless steel AISI316 and consists of a cylindrical shell and two elliptical heads. Welded structures of vertical posts, cross beams, and rings are provided at the frame ends, ensuring reliable fixation of the tank inside the frame.
Product loading is carried out through top manholes about 500 mm in diameter. Unloading is performed under pressure through a top discharge valve. One of the design features of the T10 container is the absence of bottom drain holes, which reduces the risk of leaks during the transport of certain product categories. Pressure relief valves are provided for protection against excess pressure.
