What is the acceptable pressure range for IM-102 intermodal containers (IMO Type 2)?

• A. 25.4 - 100 PSI
• B. 14.7 - 25.4 PSI
• C. 100 - 600 PSI
• D. Cryogenic

Answer: (B)

IM-102 intermodal containers are low‑pressure cargo tanks designed to keep contents near ambient pressure, with a maximum allowable working pressure around 25 psi. The operating range starts at about 14.7 psi, which is essentially atmospheric pressure, and goes up to about 25.4 psi. This keeps the tank within its safe MAWP and allows relief devices to vent if needed. Higher pressures (100–600 psi) would require a different design, and “Cryogenic” refers to very low temperatures and specialized insulation, which doesn’t apply to IM-102. So the acceptable pressure range is from roughly atmospheric up to about 25 psi.
