Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2020006582A2] A flexible tank is used to transport liquids or semi-liquid material in a shipping container on a railroad car. It has an inner tank and at least one end closure with alternating interlaced hollow loops from two separate exterior layers. A nylon rope or similar securing element is passed through the hollow loops to use the exterior layers in an end closure to constrain the inner tank. An end flap may be welded to an exterior layer and positioned between the inner tank and the end closure. The hollow loops may be formed by folding over the exterior layers and cutting out complementary portions so the loops are in an alternating interlaced pattern. Capacity bands located around the periphery of the flexible tank suppress expansion of the flexible tank at their respective locations.
