Which intermodal tank has the largest stated capacity range?

Which intermodal tank has the largest stated capacity range?

• A. IM-101
• B. IM-102
• C. Type 5
• D. Type 7

Answer: (D)

Capacity range refers to the spread of volumes a tank type is manufactured in. Type 7 cargo tanks are produced in a wider variety of sizes to handle many liquids and transfer scenarios, so the overall range of possible capacities across that type is larger than for the others. The IM-101 and IM-102 come in more limited size options as specific non-pressurized or low-pressure intermodal tanks, and Type 5 is a different class with its own more restricted options. Because of its broad applicability and multiple size variants, Type 7 has the largest stated capacity range.
