LPG BOBTAIL TANKS
- LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is used in industrial, commercial, agricultural, and manufacturing applications, LPG is a mix of propane (C3H8) and Butane (C4H10).
- LPG Bobtails are used for LPG distribution for local delivery, capacity ranging between 5-30 m3
- Bobtails are assembled on chassis MAN, DAF, Volvo, Mercedes etc. on axles 4×2 (4×4) and 6×2 (6×4, 6×6)
- The GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) of the selected truck should be suitable for total load ( gas weight+tank weight)
- During the selection the capacity and diameter for tank, the chassis length (CE : Cab to End ) should be taken into account
- This system provided with Unloading ,Transferring and Metering system and all needed safety relief valves
- The welding tests that can be done for tank: UT (Ultrasonic Test ) and RT ( RadiographicTest ) for joints, BT Test will be done for welded flanges
- The hydrostatic test will be done by water pressure according to code by THIRD PARTY
- 1. LPG pump with hydrolic motor connected to truck's PTO
- 2. LPG pump with the direct coupling (shaft) to truck's PTO
- 3. LPG pump with electric motor
This system has three options for connecting pump to truck:
