Notes
(1) “A” is the marking for all types and grades of steels.

(2) During transportation, vapor pressures within an IBC cannot exceed the limits imposed by CFR49 § 173.35. An IBC is not a pressure vessel.

(3) All IBCs are production tested at ≥ 20 kilopascals (kPa) (2.9 psig) air pressure.

(4) The UN code does not have to be on one line, but it does have to be sequential.
