20、oading of highway tanks, TC portable tanks, and other large containers when they are used as a primary means of containment for the transportation of dangerous goods of Classes 3, 4, 5, 6.1, 8, and 9.1.2This Standard sets out certain minimum requirements for the selection of the appropriate means of

21、 containment for the transportation of dangerous goods. This Standard does not, however, prescribe selection of the materials of construction of the means of containment to ensure chemical compatibility with the dangerous goods. Consequently, it is essential to exercise competent technical and engin

22、eering judgment in conjunction with this Standard.1.3Where any requirement of this Standard differs from the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Regulations, the requirements of the TDG Regulations apply.1.4This Standard does not apply to TC 56, CTC 56, and DOT 56 tanks. Requirements for these t

23、anks are provided in CAN/CGSB-43.146. (See Clause 6.4.)1.5This Standard does not apply to TC 57, CTC 57, and DOT 57 tanks. Requirements for these tanks are provided in CAN/CGSB-43.146. (See Clause 6.5.)1.6In CSA Standards, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is

24、obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard; and “can” is used to express possibility or capability.

25、Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.

35、:Highway tank a tank intended for the transport of dangerous goods by road, consisting of a tank wall fitted with service equipment and structural equipment necessary for the transport or handling of such dangerous goods, and that(a)is permanently attached to or forms a part of a truck or trailer; a

36、nd(b) is loaded or unloaded without being removed from the vehicle.Liquid dangerous goods those dangerous goods that are in liquid or slurry form at any time during loading or transportation, including dangerous goods transported under a liquid blanket.Maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) the h

37、ighest permissible internal gauge pressure at the top of a loaded tank in its normal operating orientation, including the highest internal gauge pressure during tank loading, unloading, or transport, and not exceeding design pressure.Outage the amount by which a means of containment falls short of b

38、eing full of liquid, usually expressed in per cent by volume.Padding a gas, or mixture of gases, that fills the vacant space in a means of containment.Portable tank a tank intended for the transport of dangerous goods by different modes of transport, consisting of a tank wall fitted with service equ

39、ipment and structural equipment necessary for the transport or handling of such dangerous goods, and that(a)is designed to be loaded into or onto and temporarily attached to a transport vehicle or ship;(b) is equipped with skids, mountings, or accessories to facilitate mechanical handling;(c) enable

40、s the dangerous good to be loaded and unloaded without the removal of structural equipment and without the tank being loaded onto or attached to a transport vehicle;(d) is capable of being lifted when full, unless otherwise specified in this Standard; and(e) is not a highway tank, a rail tank car ta
