The tank body of a tank container has various shapes, the most common ones are cylindrical and oval. The cylindrical tank body has superior performance in bearing internal pressure and is suitable for transporting high-pressure liquids or gases, such as liquefied petroleum gas, compressed natural gas, etc.; the oval tank body can make better use of space while ensuring a certain volume, and can reduce the impact force caused by liquid sloshing during vehicle driving or ship sailing.
The tank body material is selected according to the nature of the transported goods. For ordinary non-corrosive liquids, such as drinking water, cooking oil, etc., stainless steel materials such as 304 or 316 stainless steel are often used. These materials have good corrosion resistance and hygienic properties; for highly corrosive liquids, such as various acid and alkali solutions, special lining materials such as rubber, plastic or glass fiber are used to enhance the corrosion resistance of the tank body.
