The variety of operating conditions to which a stainless steel over-the-road bulk liquid chemical cargo tank is subjected makes it a susceptable candidate for pitting and stress corrosion cracking. Many of these conditions could be but rarely are controlled. The purpose of this paper is to list and catagorize these conditions so that chemical transport operators can be aware of the corrosion possibilities and to offer as well as solicit solutions to the problems.

The information contained is not highly technical. It is based on many years of observations gained as a chief product design engineer for a leading transport tank manufacturer.
