ADR tank code L10BH

ADR tank code for Classes 1 and 3–9: liquid tank, 10 bar, openings B, hermetically closed.

L10BH is decoded part by part from the 4.3.4.1.1 table for Classes 1 and 3–9. Part 1 "L" is a tank for liquid-state substances (liquids, or solids handed over molten); part 2 "10" is minimum calculation pressure of 10 bar (see 6.8.2.1.14). Part 3 "B" (openings): filling or discharge openings at the bottom, each with 3 closures. Part 4 "H" (safety valves/devices): the tank is hermetically closed (see 1.2.1). The code gives the least stringent tank accepted; others may be used under the hierarchy in 4.3.4.1.2.

The code, part by part
tank type: Ltank for liquid-state substances (liquids, or solids handed over molten)
calculation pressure: 10minimum calculation pressure of 10 bar (see 6.8.2.1.14)
openings: Bfilling or discharge openings at the bottom, each with 3 closures
safety valves: Hhermetically closed (see 1.2.1)

Note. Tank codes permitted in place of this one: see the rationalized approach and hierarchy in 4.3.4.1.2 (Volume II pages 217–222); not computed here.
