Location of the gas-liquid connection port for loading LPG tank trucks
Thread Content
I am working on an LPG loading project. Since submergent loading is used, the liquid and gas connection ports of the LPG tank truck are located on the side. I would like to ask: are these liquid and gas connection ports on the right or left side of the tank truck? (Viewed from the rear of the tank truck towards the front). This is related to the position of the loading arm, so I hope those with experience can provide some guidance. Thank you!
LPG is generally loaded from the bottom, right? Underwater loading seems to be relatively rare
In terms of actual use, it is more common on the left side of vehicles; vehicles over 30 tons have it on both sides.
In practice, even for smaller tank trucks (10 tons), there are usually multiple docking ports on both sides; and even if there is only one port on a side, it is still possible to dock by adjusting the direction of the truck’s front, provided that sufficient space is left for the vehicle to pass through.
