Detailed explanation of the dangerous goods category to which bitumen storage tank belong

Bitumen storage tank, as containers for storing asphalt or asphalt products, have attracted much attention for their safety and danger. So, what category of dangerous goods do bitumen storage tank belong to?

According to national laws and regulations, bitumen storage tank are classified as Class C pressure vessels. Class C containers are atmospheric pressure containers, which means that they do not withstand internal pressure but can withstand a certain external impact force. Such containers are generally used to store non-flammable and explosive dangerous goods such as liquids, gases and solid particles, such as liquefied gas tanks and liquid storage tanks. Asphalt tanks, as Class C pressure vessels, are mainly used to store non-flammable and explosive substances such as asphalt.

Although bitumen storage tank are not flammable and explosive dangerous goods, a series of safety regulations must still be strictly followed during their transportation, storage and use. First of all, the material, manufacturing, inspection, installation and use of bitumen storage tanks must comply with relevant regulations to ensure their structural strength and sealing performance. Secondly, during transportation, special tank trucks should be used, and it should be ensured that the driver and escort have the corresponding qualifications to ensure transportation safety. In addition, the storage environment of bitumen storage tanks should also meet safety requirements, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environment to prevent asphalt from expanding due to heat or other safety hazards.

When operating asphalt tanks, workers need to wear protective equipment and avoid direct contact with asphalt to prevent irritation to the skin and eyes. At the same time, the sealing performance and structural integrity of asphalt tanks should be checked regularly to ensure that they are in good working condition. If the asphalt tank is found to have leakage, deformation or other abnormal conditions, it should be stopped immediately and contact professionals for repair or replacement.

In summary, bitumen storage tanks are Class C pressure vessels. Although they are not flammable and explosive dangerous goods, they still need to strictly comply with safety regulations during their transportation, storage and use. Only by ensuring that the safety performance of bitumen storage tanks is effectively guaranteed can potential safety risks be reduced and the safety of personnel and the environment be guaranteed.
