When the Chemical Warfare Service changed designations to the Chemical Corps in 1946 the symbol was retained. The regimental
Chemical tank / container / vessel. While economic considerations are a factor, the design of chemical storage containers and how the chemistry may impact the environment is crucial. Chemical tank A chemical tank-vessel is of necessity designed for a specific chemical, as all chemicals have variable corrosion potentials there are no, one size fits all. The chemical and application parameters should design tank-vessel, the following is a "tip of the iceberg" view of what goes into defining a Chemical storage tank. A. The Chemical tank represents the first line of control for aggressive chemicals. The primary control of the chemical, consists of
