Fiba 24" ASME N.B. Cryogenic Storage Tank — 94.1 gal, 4400 PSIG

What is the current vacuum reading, and what is the NER?

The listing does not provide vacuum reading or normalized evaporation rate data. Since this is listed as new, the unit may not have been filled or placed into service yet. You should ask the seller for vacuum pressure in microns and NER in percentage per day, which are critical for evaluating the integrity of the vacuum-insulated annular space on any cryogenic vessel.

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

The listing states this is a new vessel designed for inert gas service only, so it has not held product. Grade L construction is typically compatible with liquid nitrogen, argon, and other non-corrosive inert cryogens, but oxygen service requires additional materials compliance and cleaning protocols that cannot be assumed from the listing. Confirm the specific inert gases the materials of construction support and whether oxygen-clean certification is available if needed.

Is the data plate legible, and is the U-1A available?

The listing does not address data plate condition or availability of the U-1A manufacturer's data report. For any ASME pressure vessel, the U-1A is essential for jurisdictional registration and provides the code construction details, material certifications, and hydrostatic test results. Request copies of the data plate and U-1A form from the seller before proceeding.

What is involved in relocating and re-commissioning it?

Since this is listed as new and located in Waxahachie, TX, relocation typically requires rigging to lift the approximately 2,000–3,000 lb assembly (vessel weight varies with specific configuration), transport with proper blocking to protect vacuum integrity, and site preparation including a level foundation and proper clearances per NFPA 55. Re-commissioning on a new vessel involves pressure boundary leak checks, vacuum verification, and initial fill procedures per the manufacturer's instructions, though no recertification should be needed if the unit has not been placed in service.
