Coating Specifications
A High Performance ISO Tank Coating
This high-performance coating offers excellent immersion service resistance to 92- 98% sulfuric acid up to temperatures of 120oF and has been specifically developed to resist the corrosive effects of sulfuric acid and various other chemicals with a pH value below 9.0. The coating provides exceptional chemical resistance for ISO Tank Containers, ensuring long-term durability and protection in demanding transport and storage conditions.
The Importance of Lined Tank Containers
Lined tank containers ensure the safe transport of even the most aggressive chemicals, protecting both your cargo and the tank itself. By using the highest-quality linings available, we help maintain the purity of your products while extending the lifespan of your equipment.
Beyond safeguarding your cargo, these specialized linings prevent interior corrosion and pitting, reducing maintenance costs and prolonging service life. With the right tank lining and expert application from top professionals worldwide, you can maximize performance and reliability.
Recommended Uses

2.5-Year Test for ISO Tank Containers
The 2.5-year test, also known as the intermediate inspection, is a crucial part of maintaining ISO tank containers. Conducted halfway through the 5-year certification period, this test ensures that the tank remains in safe and operable condition.Key aspects of the 2.5-year test include:
Visual Inspection: A thorough visual check of the tank's exterior and interior surfaces to identify any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
Leak Test: Conducting a leak test to ensure the tank's integrity and that there are no leaks that could compromise safety.
Valve and Gasket Checks: Inspecting all valves and gaskets for functionality and integrity, replacing any that are worn or damaged.
Structural Integrity Assessment: Verifying that the frame and overall structure of the tank meet the required safety standards.
5-Year Test for ISO Tank Containers
This test is more extensive than the intermediate 2.5-year test and involves a detailed assessment of the tank's condition and performance.Key aspects of the 5-year test include:
Internal and External Inspection: A thorough examination of both the interior and exterior surfaces of the tank to identify any corrosion, wear, or damage that could affect the tank’s integrity.
Hydrostatic Pressure Test: This test involves filling the tank with water and pressurizing it to check for leaks and ensure the tank can withstand its maximum working pressure without any issues.
Ultrasonic Thickness Testing: Measures wall thickness to ensure structural integrity.
Valve and Fitting Inspection: Checking all valves, fittings, and seals to ensure they are in good working condition.
Frame and Structural Assessment: Verifies compliance with ISO and CSC standards.
Documentation and Certification: Updating the tank’s certification to reflect that it has passed the 5-year test, ensuring it is compliant with relevant international standards such as IMDG, ADR, RID, and CFR 49.
CSC Test for ISO Tank Containers
The CSC (International Convention for Safe Containers) test ensures ISO tank containers meet international safety standards for transport. Key aspects include:
Structural Integrity Inspection: Checking the frame and structural components for strength and stability.
Safety and Security Checks: Ensuring all locking mechanisms and securing devices are functional.
Identification and Marking Verification: Confirming the presence and legibility of the CSC plate and other required labels.
Dimensional Accuracy: Ensuring the container meets ISO dimensional standards.
Damage and Wear Assessment: Identifying any signs of damage or corrosion.
Maintenance Record Review: Checking that maintenance and previous inspections are documented.
