Oil tanker, also known as mobile refueling truck, oil transporter, refueling truck, refers to a special vehicle for transporting and storing petroleum derivatives, including gasoline, diesel, crude oil, lubricating oil and coal tar, and its main function is to transport oil materials.
In addition, many oil tankers now also have the function of mobile pumping stations, equipped with oil pumping systems, metering systems and operating devices, which can realize oil suction, oil pumping, multiple oil packaging and release operations.
(I) There are several types of oil tankers:
There are many types of oil tankers, which can be divided into different types according to different classification methods:
1. According to appearance, they can be divided into single-vehicle oil tanker, semi-trailer oil tanker, off-road oil tanker.
2. According to the drive form, they can be divided into 4×2 (single-axle) oil tanker, 6×2 (small three-axle/front four and rear four) oil tanker, 6×4 (rear eight-wheel/rear double-axle) oil tanker, 8×2 (front four and rear six) oil tanker, 8×4 (front four and rear eight) oil tanker, etc.
3. According to the load capacity, it can be divided into light tank trucks, small tank trucks, medium tank trucks, medium and large tank trucks, and large tank trucks.
4. According to the medium of transportation, it can be divided into diesel tank trucks, gasoline tank trucks, coal tar tank trucks, lubricating oil tank trucks, edible oil tank trucks, crude oil tank trucks, heavy oil tank trucks, and oil product tank trucks.
(II) The role of tank trucks:
1. Storage of liquid substances: tank trucks are vehicles used to store liquid substances, such as gasoline, diesel, wax oil, oil slurry, etc., and can store a variety of liquid substances to meet different needs.
2. Transportation of liquid substances: tank trucks can be used to transport liquid substances. They can transport liquids from one place to another, such as transporting gasoline from a refinery to a gas station for automobile use, and can also transport diesel from other places. Refineries are transported to power plants for power generation.
3. Liquid substance distribution: tank trucks can be used to distribute liquid substances from one place to another, such as distributing gasoline from a gas station to various gas stations for consumers to use.
(III) Use of tank trucks:
1. Transportation: Tank trucks are used for transportation, and can transport liquid substances from one place to another, such as transporting gasoline from a refinery to a gas station for use in cars, and diesel from a refinery manufacturing plant to a power plant, where electricity is generated.
2. Construction projects: Tank trucks can be used in construction projects, and can transport materials such as cement and asphalt to the construction site for use by construction team members to improve the progress of the construction project.
3. Agricultural production: Tank trucks can also be used in agricultural production. They can transport pesticides, fertilizers, seeds and other materials to farmland for farmers to use to increase crop yields.
4. Warehousing and logistics: Tank trucks can also be used in warehousing and logistics, and can transport materials from warehouses to designated locations, such as transporting goods from warehouses to retailers for sale.
5. Environmental protection projects: Tank trucks can also be used in environmental protection projects, transporting hazardous waste from factories to treatment sites to reduce environmental pollution.
6. Refueling with airplanes: Tank trucks can also be used to refuel airplanes. They can transport fuel from refineries to airports for airplanes to ensure flight safety. The premise is that the fuel must be consistent with the fuel burned by the airplane. It must be an airplane refueling truck and must have a sophisticated filtration system.
(IV) Introduction to the volume and length dimensions of tank trucks:
The volume of tank trucks varies from model to model. Generally speaking, the volume of tank trucks may range from a few hundred liters to several thousand liters. For example, a common tank truck may have a volume of 4,000 liters, while another tank truck may have a volume of 10,000 liters. This depends on the purpose of the tank truck, as well as the size and design of its body.
A tank truck is a special truck used to transport liquids or gases. It is usually used to transport gasoline, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas or other fuels. Tank trucks usually have a cylindrical or hexagonal tank body for storing and transporting liquids. Tank trucks also have valves and piping systems for controlling the flow of liquids. The body of a tank truck is usually metal and can withstand high pressure and temperature changes. The tank truck also has a port for loading and unloading liquids, usually located at the bottom of the tank.
The length of a tank truck varies from model to model, but is usually 6 to 12 meters. This depends on the purpose and volume of the tank truck, as well as the design of its body. For example, a small tank truck may be only 6 meters long, while a large tank truck may be 12 meters long. In addition, the width and height of the tank truck may also vary from model to model. Typically, the width of a tank truck is around 2.5 meters and the height is around 4 meters.
The weight of a tank truck depends on its size, design, and the type and quantity of items transported. Typically, the body weight of a tank truck is between 4 tons and 15 tons. In addition, the tank truck has a tank body for transporting liquids, and the weight of the tank body is also taken into account. For example, the total weight of a tank truck may be between 8 tons and 30 tons. The tank truck also needs to have sufficient carrying capacity to withstand the weight of the liquid and additional loads.
