säiliöyksikkö

Säiliöyksikkö refers to a standardized container, often a tank, designed for the transportation and storage of bulk liquids or gases. These units are typically constructed from durable materials such as steel or aluminum to withstand the rigors of transport and the properties of the substances they contain. Their standardized dimensions, often conforming to ISO (International Organization for Standardization) specifications, allow for efficient handling and intermodal transport, meaning they can be seamlessly transferred between different modes of transportation like ships, trains, and trucks without repackaging the cargo.

The primary purpose of a säiliöyksikkö is to ensure the safe and secure containment of various substances, ranging from industrial chemicals and petroleum products to food-grade liquids and gases. They are designed to prevent leaks and contamination, protecting both the environment and human health. Features such as pressure relief valves, specialized coatings, and insulation may be incorporated depending on the specific cargo. The reusability of säiliöyksiköt also contributes to economic efficiency and reduced waste in supply chains. Their design and operation are subject to strict international regulations to ensure safety and compliance.
