ISO tank container used for safe storage and transport of industrial liquids and gases

Learn about ISO tank containers and how they ensure safe, efficient transport of industrial liquids and gases worldwide.


Industrial gas ISO tank containers are a vital solution for transporting and storing industrial gases in bulk. Constructed from high-strength steel and equipped with thermal insulation, these containers maintain the stability of gases during transit. Proper markings indicating gas type and pressure ensure that these containers are handled safely and efficiently.

DSW Industry ISO tanks are available in 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft sizes, with capacities from 7 to 21 m³ and pressure ratings from 1.6 MPa up to 22 MPa. These tanks are designed for the safe transport and storage of a wide variety of industrial gases, including liquid nitrogen (LN2), liquid oxygen (LOX), liquefied natural gas (LNG), and more.

Typical Construction of Gas Tank Containers

A gas tank container (ISO tank) is designed to safely store and transport bulk industrial gases or liquids. Its construction is carefully engineered for strength, safety, and compliance with international standards.

1. Inner Tank (Pressure Vessel)

Material: High-strength stainless steel (304L or 316L) to resist corrosion and chemical reactions.

Function: Holds the gas or liquid under pressure, designed to withstand internal pressure, thermal stress, and transport vibrations.

Features:

  • Smooth, seamless finish to prevent leakage
  • Optional insulation or vacuum jackets for cryogenic gases
  • Safety relief valves to release excess pressure

2. Insulation Layer (Optional for Cryogenic Gases)

Material: Perlite, foam, or vacuum insulation

Function: Maintains low temperatures for cryogenic gases such as liquid nitrogen, oxygen, or argon.

Design: Vacuum-jacketed tanks reduce heat transfer and keep gases at stable temperatures during transport.

3. Outer Frame (Protective Structure)

Material: High-strength carbon steel with reinforced corner castings

Function: Provides mechanical protection and supports handling, lifting, and stacking.

Design:

  • Standard ISO frame dimensions (20ft, 40ft) for global transport
  • Corner fittings for safe handling with cranes, trucks, and ships
  • Corrosion-resistant coating for durability

4. Valves and Accessories

Fill and Discharge Valves: For safe loading and unloading of gases

Pressure Relief Devices: Safety valves prevent overpressure

Gauges and Sensors: Monitor pressure, temperature, and gas levels

Markings: Gas type, hazard symbols, max pressure, and certification labels (ISO, ASME, TUV)

5. Additional Features

  • Heating/Cooling Jackets for temperature-sensitive gases
  • Protective Shields to guard valves and instruments
  • Anti-corrosion Coatings depending on the type of gas
