4250 Gallon MC 312 Titanium Single Compartment Acid Trailer.
This 4400 Gallon Titanium Tank Trailer was built by Titanium Fabrication Corporation to carry reagent grade Nitric acid for the electronics market. The Titanium tank replaced glass lined steel. The reasons for replacement with Titanium were to maintain product purity and provide economic savings due to higher capacity and lower weight on return trips.

The tank design was optimized for 12.0 pounds per gallon acid and has a nominal 4250 gallon capacity, 4400 skin full. The tank is 53 inches in diameter and 492 inches T-T. The trailer was designed to the rules of DOT MC-312. The tank, built principally of unalloyed Titanium plate to SB 265, Grade 2 was built to the rules of Section 8 Division 1 of the ASME Pressure Vessel Code. Shell and nozzle welds were fully radiographed and the tank was hydrostatically tested to 1½ times the maximum unloading pressure.

The tank, piping and dip tubes, flanges, nozzle covers splash pan and other components that might come in contact with the acid are Titanium. The support rings, bolsters and roll-over protection which are not welded to the tank are 304 stainless. Each ring is hydraulically tensioned to the tank, then welded to make the full ring. Rings over the running gear and fifth wheel have Titanium shear pads welded to the shell to retain their position. Brackets for lights, hoses and other hardware are Titanium and are welded to the shell. The running gear, fifth wheel, landing gear, hose tubes, lights and safety equipment are all conventional materials.
