Transcube Tank Accessories Compatibility Guide
1. Standardized Interface Design
Transcube tanks feature universal connection points for seamless integration:
- Thread standards: BSP or NPT threads for hoses, pumps, and valves
- Industry compliance: Most models adhere to ISO 16923 for fuel tanks
-
Third-party compatibility:
- Fill hoses: 1.5"–2" diameter with camlock or threaded couplings
- Pumps: Electric/manual with compatible inlet/outlet sizes (e.g., 1.5" BSP)
- Level gauges: Float-type or electronic sensors for vertical tank walls
2. Model-Specific Adaptations
- Emergency vents: Must match tank's pressure relief capacity (e.g., 100–200 m³/h for diesel)
- Heating systems: Cold-climate models may require custom heating coils or insulation kits
- Remote monitoring: Smart sensors must align with tank's data interface
3. Material Compatibility
-
Fluid type:
- Stainless steel for diesel
- Coated aluminum for gasoline
-
Seals and gaskets:
- Standard: Viton or nitrile rubber for fuel
- Specialized: EPDM for chemical resistance
4. Safety and Regulatory Compliance
- Approval standards: Must meet local codes (UL, CE, ATEX for explosive environments)
- Spill containment: Secondary containment must match tank dimensions/capacity
Example: Explosion-proof pumps are required for flammable fuels.
5. Customization and Retrofits
-
Modular design supports:
- Fuel management systems (meters, card-lock dispensers)
- Weather enclosures for outdoor use
- Retrofit limitations: Older models may need adapters for newer accessories
6. Manufacturer Recommendations
- OEM vs. Third-Party: Transcube-approved parts ensure warranty compliance
- Technical support: Consult compatibility charts for complex setups
For optimal safety and performance, always verify accessory compatibility with your specific tank model before installation.
