Which statement correctly matches an IMO type to its intermodal characteristics?

• A. IMO Type 5: Pressure intermodal, 100-500 psi
• B. IMO Type 1: Cryogenic intermodal
• C. IMO Type 2: Pressure intermodal, 14.5-25.4 psi
• D. IMO Type 7: Non-pressure intermodal, 25.4-100 psi

Answer: (A)

Intermodal tank types are defined by how much pressure they’re designed to hold and the service they’re built for. The statement that IMO Type 5 is a pressure intermodal tank rated 100 to 500 psi matches how these tanks are categorized for high‑pressure gas service. This type is specifically used for compressed gases and requires a design, fittings, and safety relief appropriate for that pressure range.

Why the other descriptions don’t fit: cryogenic intermodal tanks are built for extremely cold temperatures rather than high pressure, so a 100–500 psi rating wouldn’t apply. A description listing a low pressure range like 14.5–25.4 psi would correspond to a different, lower‑pressure type. And labeling something as non‑pressure while giving a psi range is inconsistent, since non‑pressure design means no operating pressure specification.
