      <title>TANKTRAIN TM--A HIGH VOLUME BULK LIQUID TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/78224</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper describes the TankTrain TM system, a hi-volume distribution system for liquids via rail which, in operation, can be compared to a motive segmented pipeline on wheels.  The TankTrain system is designed for loading/unloading via a single connection at high flow rates with a minimum of stationary facilities required.  Because of high operational efficiency, movement of bulk liquids with TankTrain requires fewer tank cars than with a conventional tank car operation which requires loading/unloading of each separately.  The TankTrain is typically both less capital and labor intensive than conventional tank cars.  Further, it is a safer system because of controlled emission and less spillage of the commodity during the loading/unloading operation, climbing on top of each is not needed, and because of less exposure to the commodity by the workers, there is in all fewer opportunities for accidents.]]></description>

      <title>TANKTAINER--A PORTABLE BULK LIQUID TANK CONTAINER FOR INTERMODAL SERVICE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/78225</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper describes the "TankTainer," a portable liquid tank container for intermodal service.  The TankTainer is designed for transport of bulk commodities in the Marine, Highway, and Railroad modes.  It is of monocoque design, utilizing the inherent structural load-carrying capabilities of the cylindrical tank between integral tubular structural end frames.]]></description>

      <title>SPOT LOADER TRIALS PROMISE SIMPLIFIED PRODUCT SHIPMENT BY RAIL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/53500</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A new rail tanker loading system, now under trial at Phillips-Imperial Petroleum's refinery on Teeside, is described.  Known as the Fast Filler, the system eliminates the need for all the complicated pipework and carriage used in other mechanized systems.  Instead it uses the principle of the multicolor ball-point pen: the all-rubber flexible probes are lowered vertically from the same housing.  Other operating improvements incorporated into the design of the Fast Filler are highlighted, and a cost comparison is made with some other mechanized loading systems.]]></description>

      <title>MILLION GALLON "TANK CAR"</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/19159</link>
      <description><![CDATA[General American Transportation, applying the benefits of volume transportation through the unit train, has come up with an integral train concept that it calls a "million gallon tank car."  Since it involves handling techniques of storage tanks, it holds potential of improving the distribution of bulk liquid commodities.  The new system has a unique combination of interconnects of flexible hoses and special valves.  With them a million gallon 40 car tank train can be filled or emptied from a single connection. The train thus brings that capability to the terminal.]]></description>

      <title>CONFERENCE ON TANK CONTAINERS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/23281</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This is a report on the second of a series of conferences involving ship operators, shippers, equipment manufacturers and concerned government agencies to discuss the present and future of specialized containers.  The goal of the Maritime Administration in sponsoring such sessions is to increase the use of containerization and similar intermodal shipping systems in U.S. foreign trade.  Tank containers offer the prospects for more economical shipment of certain commodities--such a liquor and fruit juice concentrates, eliminating unnecessary packaging and reducing losses from from damage or pilferage.  There has been relatively small use of such containers which made up less than one percent of the U.S. container inventory at the time of the conference.]]></description>

      <title>REVIEW OF PROPOSED SPECIFICATIONS RELATING TO THE SHIPMENT OF ETHYLENE IN TANK CARS AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/24121</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The report reviews proposed specifications and shipper regulations for 113 series tank cars for tranporting liquid ethylene at cryogenic temperatures. The study was limited in scope and was to be directed primarily at the holding time requirements necessary for safe shipment of the commodity. The insulation requirements based on a 30-day holding time capability with a design margin of 15 days are considered responsive to needs and are reasonable and practical within the current state of the art. A further definition of conditions for heat transfer calculations and measurement are suggested to assure consistent design and performance. Apparent deficiencies are noted in the proposed in-transit pressure rise specification; a candidate modification is described.]]></description>

      <title>STAINLESS STEEL FOR CHEMICAL TANKERS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2760</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article describes 3 methods for the use of stainless steel plating for tank linings in tanks used for the carriage of chemical cargoes.  They are tanks constructed of solid stainless steel plate, carbon steel plate to which a thin layer of stainless steel has been bonded, and tanks constructed first of carbon steel plate and then lined with a layer of stainless steel plate.  The advantages and disadvantages of each are discussed with particular regard to cost and stress corrosion cracking and other stresses that can be caused by improper welding.  It is concluded that tanks constructed of pure stainless steel plate are generally higher in initial cost, but they are more economical over the life of a vessel due to savings in maintenance and repair costs.  Also described are properties of stainless steel of the high stress proof types containing nitrogen and those that are warm worked.  Design and fabrication aspects are given for the 3 types of tanks with respect to ballasting, heating ducts and coils, pumps, valves, piping, and tank finishing.  Where information is available from actual usage of the 3 methods, it is listed.]]></description>
