Dear Mr. Robinson:
This responds to your September 8, 2003, letter requesting clarification on § 180A07(f) under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if a lining is required for a trailer carrying concentrations of 93-98% sulfuric acid (UN 1830) at ambient temperature.
The answer is no. In accordance with Special Provision B84, packagings containing sulfuric acid or spent sulfuric acid in a concentration up to 65.25 percent must be protected with non-metallic linings or have a suitable corrosion allowance. A lining is not required for packagings containing sulfuric acid in concentrations greater than 65.25 percent.
I hope this answers your inquiry.
Sincerely,
Susan Gorsky,
Senior Transportation Regulations Specialist
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
