IMO Type 2 corresponds to which intermodal pressure range?

IMO Type 2 corresponds to which intermodal pressure range?

• A. 100-500 psi
• B. 25.4-100 psi
• C. 14.5-25.4 psi
• D. 23.5+ psi -130° or lower

Answer: (C)

Intermodal tank designs are categorized by their maximum operating pressure, and IMO Type 2 sits in the lower end of that spectrum. It is defined to be in the range of 14.5 to 25.4 psi (about 0.1 to 0.175 MPa). This specific pressure band guides how the tank is built, what relief devices it uses, and how it behaves in a release scenario, informing safe handling, response actions, and protective measures. The other ranges reflect higher-pressure designs or different specifications and don’t align with the Type 2 classification.
