About Failure of the LPG Tank Fastening Welds on the Chassis of Trucks

Abstract

The international road transport of dangerous goods is subject to strict regulations. Traffic realities and experiences accumulated as a result of periodic inspections of specific equipment (tanks) lead to their constant updating and improvement. This article is focused to a study related to the appearance over time of some cracks in the welded joints between the tank and the mounting supports on the truck chassis.
