This used tank container — also known as a pressure vessel — is a sealed, pressure-rated storage and transport unit designed to hold liquids or gases under controlled pressure conditions, including vacuum applications. It is well suited to industrial, chemical, and pharmaceutical processes where containment integrity and corrosion resistance are critical requirements.
Manufactured in 1993 by Gempp-Unhold AG, this vessel is constructed from stainless steel grade 1.4571, also designated V4A, a molybdenum-bearing austenitic alloy widely used in aggressive chemical environments for its superior corrosion resistance. The vessel has a capacity of 630 litres and carries a dead mass of 438 kg, with a tare weight recorded on the nameplate at 445.4 kg and a maximum permissible total weight of 1,500 kg.
The operating pressure range is -1.0 to +3.0 bar, confirming full vacuum capability on the negative side and moderate positive pressure capability, making it suitable for processes requiring inert gas blanketing, vacuum filling, or pressure transfer. The vessel has been tested to a test pressure of 6.0 bar. It is rated for a temperature range of -30 °C to +200 °C, extending its suitability across cryogenic-adjacent low-temperature operations as well as elevated-temperature process environments.
The vessel carries the approval designation CH-EMPA-194, indicating certification by EMPA, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology. Its tank coding is L10DH with special provision TE21, classifiers relevant to transport and handling regulations for containers of this type. Multiple flange connections are present for filling, venting, and ancillary functions, as visible in the accompanying photographs. The unit is located in Germany and is offered in used condition at USD 3,000.
