With extensive international transportation management and logistics experience and state-of-the-art strategies and equipment, we simplify processes, enhance supply chain efficiency, and reduce costs for our partners. To help our customers, we have created an ISO Tank Capacity Guide to help with your Intermodal needs.
This ISO Tank Capacity Guide describes the formula and procedures we use to identify optimal ISO tank sizes for given quantities of liquid chemical products.
FORMULA
SG x 8.34 = lbs. per gallon
44,000 ÷ lbs. per gallon = max weight per tank
Size x 80% = minimum weight at 80%
EXAMPLE
1.25 x 8.34 = 10.425
44,000 ÷ 10.425 = 4221 max weight
6340 x 80% = 5072 min weight for 24,000 liter tank
