Describe the characteristics of the Low pressure (general service/non-pressure) tank car |
- Vapor pressure below 25 PSI - Tank test pressure = 60 and 100 PSI - Capacity = 4K to 45K gallons - Cylindrical with removable ends - Fittings for loading at TOP and BOTTOM - At least 1 manway to access interior - DOT specs on right side of car - Up to 6 separate compartments - carries hazardous and non-hazardous mat. |
|
|
Describe the characteristics of the Pressure tank car |
- Vapor pressure above 25 PSI - Capacity = 4K to 45K gallons - Cylindrical metal with rounded ends - non compartmentalized - Typically TOP loading - Single opening for valves - carries flammable liquids and liquefied compressed gasses |
|
|
Describe the characteristics of the Cryogenic Liquid tank car |
- Ground-level cabinets on sides or ends of car - Tank within a tank - Interior is stainless steel - Vacuum between inner/outer tanks - protects (cools) shipment for 30 days
|
|
|
Describe the characteristics of the Hopper Car |
- uncovered carries coal, sand, gravel, rock - covered carries dry bulk materials |
|
|
Describe the characteristics of the Pneumatically unloaded hopper |
- Unloaded by air pressure - Transports dry bulk loads - Pressure during unloading = 20 to 80 PSI |
|
|
Characteristics of the low-pressure flammable liquid tank truck are? |
- DOT-406 / MC-306 - Oval shape with blunt (flat) ends - carries all kinds of flammable liquids - cannot contain pressurized gasses - ladder on back - max capacity = 9000 gallons |
|
|
Characteristics of the low-pressure chemical tank truck are? |
- DOT-407 / MC-307 - Insulated = horseshoe shape - un-insulated = circular shape and have reinforcing rings - max capacity = 6000 gallons - can be pressurized up to 40 PSI |
|
|
what do the Manufacturer's labels and signal words stand for? |
- CAUTION — Minor health effects (eye irritation) - WARNING — Moderate hazards (flammability) - DANGER — Highest degree of hazard (severe or deadly effects) - POISON — Highly toxic (pesticides) |
|
|
DOT-406 or MC-306 Non Pressure (Flammable) Flammable Liquid Tank Capacity = 9,000 gallons Pressure = less than 3 PSI Shape = Oval, multiple compartments Manholes = recessed Rollover protection Valves = Bottom Vapor recovery likely Carries = flammable/combustible liquids |
|
|
DOT-407 or MC-307 Low-Pressure Chemical Tank Capacity = 6,000 gallons Pressure = 25 to 40 PSI Shape = Horseshoe or rounded, may have multiple compartments Stiffening rings rollover protection Can have reinforcing/stiffening rings Carries = flammable/combustible liquids, acid, caustics and poisons |
|
|
DOT-412 or MC-312 Corrosive Liquid Tank Truck Capacity = 6,000 gallons Pressure = 35 to 50 PSI (less than 75 PSI) Shape = tube/small diameter Single tank/compartment with reinforcing rings around tank Top loading at rear or center Splash guard provides Rollover protection Carries = Strong corrosives but can't carry pressurized gasses |
|
|
MC 331 High Pressure Tank Truck Capacity = 11,500 gallons (Short/bobtail = 3,500 gal) Pressure = Above 100 PSI (up to 300 PSI) Single steel compartment Bolted manhole at front or rear Carries = gasses liquefied by pressure High BLEVE potential Typically painted white or silver |
|
|

|
|
Pressurized Tank Car DOT 105, DOT 109, DOT 112, DOT 114, DOT 120 Capacity = 33,500 gallons Pressure = 100 - 600 PSI Carries = Single compartment Cylindrical housing at top of car encloses valves |
|
|
Non-Pressurized (general service) tank Car DOT 103, DOT 104, DOT 111, DOT 115 Capacity = 30,000 gallons Pressure = up to 100 PSI Can be compartmentalized Valves and fittings are exposed |
|
|
