Portable tank instructions specify the requirements applicable to a portable tank when used for the transportation of a specific hazardous material. in Column (7) of the 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table for a specific haz-ardous material; and marine portable tanks conforming to 46 CFR part 64 are authorized. Such packages must be transported on cargo aircraft only. N95 UN1075, Liquefied petroleum gas and UN1978, Propane authorized for transport in DOT 4BA240 cylinders is not subject to the UN identification number and proper shipping name marking or the label requirements of this part subject to the following conditions: a. Other inorganic nitrate salts may replace part of the ammonium nitrate. Search & Navigation Radiation detectors transported as individual components must be transported as follows: (1) They must be packed in a sealed intermediate plastic liner with sufficient absorbent or adsorbent material to absorb or adsorb the entire gas contents. (iv) T75. In addition, MC 312 and DOT 412 cargo tank motor vehicles must: a. An important, but often overlooked, requirement for the safe and regulatory compliant transportation of a HazMat is an understanding of the special provisions in column 7 of the Hazardous Materials Table. The articles may be transported as in Division 1.4 Compatibility Group D (1.4D) if all of the conditions specified in 173.63(a) of this subchapter are met. Special provisions contain packaging provisions, prohibitions, exceptions from requirements for particular quantities or forms of materials and requirements or prohibitions applicable to specific modes of transportation, as follows: (1) A code consisting only of numbers (for example, 11) is multi-modal in application and may apply to bulk and non-bulk packagings. The manufacturer must produce technical documentation of the design type, manufacture as well as the tests and their results. The material may only be loaded with Class 3, Class 8, and Division 4.1 materials in Packing Group II or III. B10 MC 300, MC 301, MC 302, MC 303, MC 305, and MC 306 and DOT 406 cargo tanks, and DOT 57 portable tanks are not authorized. Except when the liquids are fully absorbed in solid material contained in sealed bags, for single packagings, each packaging must correspond to a design type that has passed a leakproofness test at the Packing Group II level. Capacitors with an energy storage capacity of 0.3 Wh or less are not subject to the requirements of this subchapter. The only tank car tanks authorized are Class DOT 105 tank cars having a test pressure of 2,069 kPa (300 psig) or greater. The adsorption or absorption presents the following properties: (1) The pressure at a temperature of 20 C (68 F) in the receptacle is less than 0.6 bar (60 kPa); (2) The pressure at a temperature of 35 C (95 F) in the receptacle is less than 1 bar (100 kPa); (3) The pressure at a temperature of 85 C (185 F) in the receptacle is less than 12 bar (1200 kPa). (3) B codes. Column 2 specifies the minimum test pressure, in bar (1 bar = 14.5 psig), at which the periodic hydrostatic testing required by 180.605 of this subchapter must be conducted. 44 The formulation must be prepared so that it remains homogenous and does not separate during transport.
These provisions apply only to transportation by rail. TP24 The portable tank may be fitted with a device to prevent the build up of excess pressure due to the slow decomposition of the hazardous material being transported. An unused lighter or a lighter that is cleaned of residue and purged of vapors is not subject to the requirements of this subchapter. (3) The total amount of gas from all detectors per outer packaging must not exceed 52 grams (1.83 ounces). Shipments must be made by private, leased or contract carrier vehicles under exclusive use of the offeror. For UN 3176, this requirement only applies when the hazardous material reacts dangerously with water. **Self-reactive materials that are thermally unstable and that Any glass inner packaging showing evidence of leakage, distortion or other defect under this test must not be transported under the terms of this special provision; b. 107 The classification of the substance is expected to vary especially with the particle size and packaging but the border lines have not been experimentally determined; appropriate classifications should be verified following the test procedures in 173.57 and 173.58 of this subchapter.

(eg: A7 Steel packagings must be corrosion-resistant or have protection against corrosion. 117 If shipment of the explosive substance is to take place at a time that freezing weather is anticipated, the water contained in the explosive substance must be mixed with denatured alcohol so that freezing will not occur. Wall thickness must be verified ultrasonically at intervals midway between periodic hydraulic tests (every 2.5 years). If a package contains both lithium metal batteries and lithium ion batteries packed with and contained in equipment, the package must be marked as required for both battery types. b. Packagings equivalent to DOT 406 cargo tanks are excepted from 178.345-7(d)(5), circumferential reinforcements; 178.345-10, pressure relief; 178.345-11, outlets; 178.345-14, marking, and 178.345-15, certification. 41 This material at the Packing Group II hazard criteria level may be transported in Large Packagings.

For transportation of new lighter design samples for examination and testing, see 173.308(b)(2). Portable tanks must be hydraulically tested and internally inspected at intervals not exceeding 2.5 years. Rigid plastics: 11H1, 11H2, 21H1 and 21H2, c.
