Core Advantages
1. Superior Safety & Pressure Resistance
The tank is manufactured in strict accordance with pressure vessel standards, using high-strength steel and advanced submerged-arc welding technology. It undergoes 100% radiographic inspection (RT), ultrasonic testing (UT), and hydrostatic pressure testing (1.5 times design pressure) to ensure zero leakage and structural integrity. The multi-stage safety valve system automatically relieves excess pressure, preventing explosions or accidents.
2. Enhanced Stability & Anti-Surge Design
Internal anti-surge baffles reduce liquid sloshing during transport, significantly improving stability and minimizing rollover risks. The low center of gravity design, combined with air suspension and RSP, ensures safe handling even on high-speed highways or uneven roads.
3. Advanced Safety Systems
Equipped with emergency shut-off valves (both pneumatic and manual), which automatically close in case of pipeline rupture or collision, preventing gas leakage. The trailer also features fire-resistant paint, grounding devices, and anti-static components to eliminate ignition risks.
4. Efficient & Secure Operation
The API bottom loading system enables fast, safe, and dust-free filling and discharging. The level gauge, pressure gauge, and thermometer allow real-time monitoring of cargo status. The sealed structure prevents gas leakage and environmental pollution, meeting strict safety and environmental standards.
5. Global Compliance & Customization
Fully compliant with ADR (for dangerous goods), ASME, GB, and CE standards, making it suitable for global cross-border transport of LPG. Customization options include tank volume, pressure rating, safety accessories, and heating/insulation systems to meet regional regulations and specific cargo needs.
Application Fields
- Ideal for transporting liquefied petroleum products, including:
- Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG): Propane, butane, and LPG mixtures.
- Dimethyl Ether (DME): A clean fuel and industrial propellant.
- Other liquefied petroleum products: Ammonia, propylene, and other pressure-liquefied gases (with compatible materials).
- Widely used in energy logistics, gas distribution, petrochemical plants, industrial fuel supply, and long-distance cross-border transport, serving industries such as energy, petrochemical, manufacturing, and residential gas supply.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the design pressure of the LPG tank trailer?
Answer: The design pressure is 1.72-2.16 MPa (250-310 PSI), and the working pressure is 1.6 MPa (230 PSI), ensuring safe transportation of LPG under various temperature conditions.
Is it safe for long-distance transport?
Answer: Yes. The robust pressure vessel design, anti-surge baffles, air suspension, and advanced safety systems (safety valves, emergency shut-off) ensure stability and safety during long-haul journeys. It fully complies with ADR and other dangerous goods transport standards.
What safety features are included?
Answer: Key safety features include full-opening safety valves, emergency shut-off valves (pneumatic/manual), anti-static grounding, fire-resistant paint, roll stability program (RSP), and ABS braking system.
Can it be customized for different gases?
Answer: Yes. The tank material, pressure rating, and safety systems can be customized to transport other pressure-liquefied gases such as ammonia, propylene, or DME, provided they comply with relevant dangerous goods regulations.
Does it meet international dangerous goods standards?
Answer: Fully compliant with ADR (European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road), ASME, CE, and GB standards, making it suitable for global cross-border transport of LPG.
What maintenance is required for the tank?
Answer: Regular maintenance includes inspecting safety valves for proper operation, checking pipelines and seals for leaks, testing pressure gauges and level gauges, and conducting periodic hydrostatic pressure tests (every 3-5 years) to ensure structural integrity.
Is it compatible with standard tractors?
Answer: Yes, it fits most tractors equipped with ISO-standard 2.0/3.5 inch kingpin connections. For special operations, a power take-off (PTO) or auxiliary power unit may be required for pumping systems
