Which regulation specifies the design of intermodal tanks?

ASME
DOT
Both ASME and DOT
Neither

The correct answer is: Both ASME and DOT

The correct answer is that both ASME and DOT regulations specify the design of intermodal tanks. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) provides standards and codes regarding the construction and safety of pressure vessels, which include certain specifications for intermodal tanks used in transporting various substances. These guidelines ensure that the tanks can withstand the pressures and conditions they may encounter during transportation. The Department of Transportation (DOT) also has regulations governing the transportation of hazardous materials, including specifications pertinent to intermodal tanks. DOT regulations ensure that these tanks meet safety standards for the handling and transport of hazardous substances across different modes of transportation (for example, rail and truck). Therefore, both sets of regulations are vital in ensuring that intermodal tanks are designed, constructed, and operated safely and effectively for their intended purpose.
