What is ISO liquid?

Published in Logistics & Transportation 1 min read

An "ISO liquid" isn't a specific type of liquid. Instead, it refers to a liquid transported or stored in an ISO tank container. An ISO tank is specifically designed to carry liquids (and also many gases and powders) in bulk. The "ISO" part of the name comes from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which sets the standards that these tanks must meet to be transported via different modes of transportation (e.g., ship, rail, truck). Therefore, an ISO liquid is simply any liquid that is transported or stored using a standardized ISO tank.

In essence, "ISO liquid" describes the method of transportation and storage, not the properties of the liquid itself.

Key takeaways:

  • Definition: ISO liquid refers to any liquid transported in an ISO tank container.
  • ISO Standard: The tanks conform to standards set by the International Organization for Standardization.
  • Purpose: Designed for bulk transport of liquids, gases, and powders.
  • Focus: The term describes the transport method, not a specific type of liquid.
