[Superseded]Road tank vehicles for dangerous goods, Part 5: Tankers for bitumen-based products
Specifies requirements for the design and construction of tankers for the transport of cutback bitumen, inclusive of bitumen sprayers. This Standard introduces the concept, and control design details for both automatic and atmospheric burners, for their use whilst the tanker is being normally driven. The requirements in This Standard are complementary to those requirements necessary to comply with AS 2809.1-1999.
