Metal totes manufactured to DOT/UN standards are a popular option across bulk transportation markets.
To maintain DOT/UN compliance, the chemical tote tank owner should be sure to follow a regular inspection program that carefully documents all testing procedures and the associated results.
Tote tank owners should consider the following as part of developing a full inspection program for their stainless steel tote tanks and other IBCs:
The 'leak proof' test should be performed every 30 months on any DOT/UN approved IBC containing liquids for transport.
Regular inspection and maintenance of your stainless steel totes, along with proper handling and care, will ensure that your IBC investment is well protected for the long term.
