What is an ISO Tank?
A cylindrical pressure vessel made of stainless steel, surrounded by a 20′ x 8′ x 8.5′ framework by various types of protective layers usually polyurethane and aluminum for the transport of hazardous and non-hazardous liquids in bulk. Different skins can be used with an ISO tank depending on the type of bulk cargo it is carrying. It has a manhole on the top along with at least one valve and another valve on the bottom. The tanks vary in size and type and can carry between 21,000 and 40,000 litres of liquid.
