What is the maximum tank pressure of a DOT 412 tank truck?

The maximum tank pressure of a DOT 412 tank truck is between 35 to 50 psi. This range is specifically designed for DOT 412 tanks, which are often used to transport hazardous materials. The pressure rating ensures that these tanks can safely contain liquids that need to be transported under pressure, such as corrosive or flammable liquids.

Understanding the tank's pressure rating is crucial for Hazmat Technicians as it impacts the procedures for handling, storing, and responding to potential incidents involving these tanks. The design of the DOT 412 allows it to safely operate within this pressure range, preventing leaks or ruptures that could result from over-pressurization.

Recognizing the correct pressure specifications is vital for ensuring compliance with safety regulations and for effectively managing the risks associated with transporting hazardous materials.
