Tanker trailers, tanker semi-trailers

A tank is a specialized type of cargo body which constitutes a closed metal container designed for transportation of liquid, liquefied and flowable substances.

The main materials used in the production of tanks are aluminum alloys and steel. Moreover, aluminum containers have several advantages - the most important are the anti-corrosion properties of the material and the reduced weight of the body made ​​of it. To improve the resistance to corrosion of the steel tanks, their surface is covered with a special coating.

Despite seeming similarity, more careful consideration reveals significant diversity within the class of tanks. For instance, the tanks distinguished by the cross-section shape can be circular, elliptical, or have the form of a 'suitcase', and each of these varieties has different levels of strength and stability. To increase stability in the case incomplete filling of the working volume, the tank can be equipped with a breakwater (a baffled tank).

From the point of view of the internal structure, the tanks can be both single- and multi-sectional, and in the second case, the working volume of the tank is divided into separate sections, each of which has an independent draining-and-filling tract, hatch, breathing valve, etc. By the domain of application, one can distinguish groups of tanks, for example, for combustibles and lubricants (gasoline, fuel oil, bitumen), food (milk, vegetable oil, flour), chemicals (acids, alkalis, ammonia), etc. Different types of tanks can be equipped with a wide range of additional equipment, for example, sensors of pressure, temperature, amount of substance, as well as pumps, heaters, 'steam jacket', and so on.
