What are the 2 types of containers that are designed to hold hazardous materials in:
Transportation (railway and highway)
Fixed Facility

The DOT regulated chemicals, the max bottle capacity is 4L’s ad up to six of these bottles may be placed in one multi-cell packaging.

Chime

Bungs
These normally contain liquefied, non -liquefied or dissolved gases or mixtures thereof, but also contain liquids or solids under pressure
Cylinders
Cylinders are divided into 2 basic types
Non-insulated
Insulated (Cryogenic)
These are typically made of steel and have rounded shoulders on top. They have a screw-on cap
Non insulated cylinder
These are for refrigerated liquid gases consist of a metal cylinder insulated and contained within an outer protective metal jacket
Insulated (cryogenic) cylinders
These are Rigid or flexible portable packaging which is designed for mechanical handiling
Intermediate Bulk Containers
