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.

u Both the IM 101 and 102 tanks transport

liquid materials at maximum allowable

working pressures (MAWP) of up to 100

psig.

u Tanks are tested at 1.5 times MAWP.

IM 101 (IMO Type 1) TANKS

u TRANSPORTS BOTH HAZARDOUS

AND NON-HAZARDOUS CARGO.

u May contain toxic, corrosive, and

flammable liquids with flash points below

32 F (0 C).

u Capacities range 5,000 to 6,300 gallons.

u MAWP o 25.4 psig 1.75 bar to 100 psig(6.8 bar). 4 bar tank is most common

u See DOT 49 CFR 178.270 to 178.271.1.
