Abstract: A pressure relief assembly arranged in the upper central region of a container for carrying liquids under pressure. The pressure relief assembly is provided in a hole in the container and includes a cylindrical housing having one end closed off and provided with an opening for a pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve is mounted on a mounting plate which has a diameter greater than the hole provided in the bottom wall of the cylinder. A tube element is welded to the container about the opening to which the cylindrical housing of the pressure relief assembly is attached through the provision of a circumferential mounting flange. A cover may be provided over the cylindrical housing of the pressure relief assembly to protect the assembly from weather.

Abstract: A safety transport system for hazardous or valuable chemicals, particularly in liquid form, is provided. The chemicals are contained, according to their hazardousness and/or vulnerability during transportation, in tanks of relatively small volume which are provided with a base. A plurality of said tanks form a unit load specifically designed for shipment by highway, rail, air or marine transportation means. The unit load of the safety transport system includes one or more tanks, and a container platform for supporting a plurality of intermediate support elements which secure the tanks to the platform.

Abstract: A frame container for pressure vessels is disclosed which includes coupling elements for releasably mounting the pressure vessels in the frame container. Coupling elements are also provided at the corners of the frame to allow a plurality of frames to be secured together.

Abstract: In a transport container for dangerous liquids, a protective shell is provided for the charging and emptying fittings mounted on the container. The shell consists of an upwardly opening shell structure mounted on the container and having a central portion which extends into the container, with a pair of exposed end portions that extend outwardly from the container; at least one of the exposed end portions is opened to allow drainage of fluid from the shell. The charging and emptying fittings, and other control devices, are positioned in the shell where they are protected against corrosion and breakage, and yet are readily accessible for operation.
