Frequently Asked Questions About Gas Tanks
What is a T50 Gas tank?
A T50 Gas tank is a UN portable tank designed for transporting liquefied gas under pressure. MCM T50 Gas tanks have working pressures from 13.8 bar to 34.4 bar and capacities of 24,300L-25,100L. They are designed for LPG (propane, butane), refrigerant, ammonia, and many others gas transport, certified to ADR, RID, and IMDG standards for safe road, rail, and sea freight.
What safety features do Gas tanks include?
MCM Gas tanks feature automatic pressure relief valves, emergency fast-closure systems for fire protection, sunshields against thermal radiation, baffles for load stability. Tanks can be equipped with GPS telematic tracking and level gauge, for maximum safety during transport.
How often do Gas tanks require testing and inspection?
Gas tanks (and all other tanks for hazardous products) undergo annual visual inspections (external and internal) and comprehensive pressure testing every 2.5 years and hydraulic test 5.0 years as per ADR/RID/IMDG regulations. Valve testing, safety device checks, and certification renewals are conducted regularly.
Can Gas tanks be used for international transport?
Yes. MCM Gas tanks are certified to international standards (ADR, RID, IMDG, ASME) enabling intermodal freight across road, rail, and sea. Tanks are suitable for European transport (Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, France, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Italy, Spain) and global shipping with appropriate documentation and compliance for liquefied gas cargo.
