Enric IMO-20' Type 7 — 5,800 gal 350 PSIG Cryogenic Container

What is the DOT status and when is the next inspection due?

This is listed as new 2026 manufacture, so if it has not yet entered service it would not have an existing DOT certification or inspection due date—those requirements begin once the unit is placed in commercial service. Ask the seller whether this unit has been hydrostatically tested and stamped, and request documentation of any certifications already completed. IMO Type 7 portable tanks typically require periodic inspection per the applicable transport regulations, with intervals that vary depending on whether the unit is used for domestic or international transport.

What capacity, working pressure and NER is it rated for?

The listing specifies 5,800-gallon capacity and 350 PSIG working pressure. Normal evaporation rate (NER) is not provided in the listing—ask the seller for the vacuum performance specification or test data, as NER is critical for determining hold time and is typically expressed as a percentage of capacity per day. On vacuum-insulated cryogenic containers, NER performance depends on the quality of the vacuum jacket and can vary significantly between manufacturers and even between individual units.

What product has it carried, and what can it legally be converted to?

The listing states this unit is suitable for LOX, LIN, LAR, and LNG, but as a new unit it has presumably not carried any product yet. Once a cryogenic container enters service, conversion between products depends on material compatibility, cleaning protocols, and regulatory requirements—oxygen service in particular requires rigorous degreasing and certification. Confirm with the seller whether this unit has been dedicated to a specific service or remains in clean, unconverted condition.
