UN 2261 2,3-Xylenol, molten ADR 2025 (Shortinfo)

The maximum degree of filling (in %) for solids carried above their melting point and for elevated temperature liquids shall be determined in accordance with 4.2.1.9.5. Degree of filling = 95 x ( dr / df ) where dr = density of the liquid during carriage; df = density of the liquid during filling [°C].

Tanks shall not be used for the carriage of foodstuffs, articles of consumption or animal feeds.

Fixed tanks (tank-vehicles), demountable tanks and battery-vehicles: Fittings and accessories mounted in the upper part of the tank shall be either: - inserted in a recessed housing; or - equipped with an internal safety valve; or - shielded by a cap, or by transverse and/or longitudinal members, or by other equally effective devices, so profiled that in the event of overturning the fittings and accessories will not be damaged. Fittings and accessories mounted in the lower part of the tank: Pipe-sockets, lateral shut-off devices, and all discharge devices shall either be recessed by at least 200 mm from the extreme outer edge of the tank or be protected by a rail having a coefficient of inertia of not less than 20 cm³ transversally to the direction of travel; their ground clearance shall be not less than 300 mm with the tank full. Fittings and accessories mounted on the rear face of the tank shall be protected by the bumper prescribed in 9.7.6. Their height above the ground shall be such that they are adequately protected by the bumper. Tank-containers, tank swap bodies and MEGCs: (Reserved)
