T14 Tank Containers

Tank container T14 — is an IMO 1 class tank container standardized according to ISO 1496-3, designed for domestic and international transportation, as well as temporary warehouse storage of liquid safe and dangerous goods under operating pressure of 4–6 bar, including hazardous, corrosive and aggressive chemicals.

The T14 tank container is used in the chemical, petrochemical, mining and pharmaceutical industries for the export and import of liquid bulk cargo by road, rail and sea transport.

Technical characteristics of T14 tank containers

Structurally, the T14 tank container is a welded tank made of AISI 316L stainless steel, mounted in a strong 20-foot ISO frame with eight corner fittings. The T14 tank is equipped with a ladder, a service platform and a top manhole.

For the transportation of aggressive acids, the inner surface of the tank can be additionally lined with a polymer layer using rotational molding technology.

The main feature of the T14 tank container is the absence of a bottom discharge device. Loading and unloading are carried out through the upper part of the container, which further reduces the risk of leakage of hazardous products. Pressure relief valves with rupture discs are provided for excess pressure relief.

To maintain the required temperature of the transported product, the T14 tank container can be equipped with an electric or steam heating system and a layer of thermal insulation.

T14 tank container: advantages

ISO-tank T14 containers are used for the transportation of liquid bulk cargo with increased safety requirements and have a number of advantages:

• compliance with ADR regulations (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) and international standards;
• no bottom discharge device — minimizes the risk of accidental product leakage if the valve is damaged;
• chemical resistance of stainless steel to most aggressive chemical compounds;
• possibility of transportation without intermediate transshipment during multimodal transport.

T14 containers are more often used for transporting acids, alkalis, solvents, petrochemical products and other liquid substances of hazard classes 3,4, 5, 6, 8 and 9. In some cases, with appropriate preparation of the tank, food-grade liquids can be transported in the tank container.

For the transportation of cryogenic and liquefied gases, as well as goods requiring other pressure parameters, it is better to use tank container T20.
