Anybody Know the MAWP of a Tanker Truck?
(OP)
Hi guys. Not exactly sure where to post this. so starting here. Anybody know what the set pressure is of the pressure relief device on a tank truck, or perhaps what the MAWP is of the tank on a tank truck? If it matters, this is for a crude oil tank truck, either a semi or a tandem trailer. I have not been able to find it anywhere. Thanks! Pete

Therefore there is no fixed standard.
It should be noted on the tank nameplate fixed to the tanker body.

There was a paper I had a copy of long ago that had pictures of vacuum-related failures. Damn, I wish I could find that thing! Can't remember which magazine or journal it was from, and it was at least 20 years ago. It had a picture of a tanker truck which basically looked like a string of sausages, crushed by vacuum in-between each set of anti-slosh baffles.
