TS 11764

TS 11764 is the Turkish edition of a standard for tank containers within the Series 1 freight container family. Its subject is the container type used for liquids, gases, and pressurized dry bulk cargoes, where the load must be contained in a closed system during transport. In practice, the tank body, frame, fittings, and handling features are considered together because the container has to work both as a pressure-capable vessel and as an intermodal freight unit.

Why tank containers are a distinct container type

From a general technical viewpoint, a tank container differs from a dry freight container because the cargo behaves as a fluid or a pressurized bulk material rather than as unit packages or loose dry goods. That changes the engineering priorities: sealing, pressure behavior, filling and discharge arrangements, and compatibility with transport handling all matter. The standard therefore belongs to the family of container standards that define a specific transport function rather than a generic box format.

What this document identifies

The listing is tied to ISO 1496-3:1991, and the scope text confirms that it addresses tank containers for liquids, gases, and pressurized dry bulk. It does not, from the supplied metadata alone, justify detailed claims about specific test methods, numerical limits, or clause-level requirements. For customers, the key value is understanding that this document is the technical reference for that container category within the Series 1 freight container system.

• Applies to tank containers within the Series 1 freight container system.
• Covers liquids, gases, and pressurized dry bulk cargoes.
• Based on ISO 1496-3:1991.
• This record is withdrawn and is therefore of historical reference value.
