Specifically, you ask if\nining is required for a trailer carrying concentrations of 93-98% sulfuric acid (UN 183.0) a\nambient temperature.\nThe answer is no. In accordance with Special Provision B84, packagings containing sulfuric acid\nor spent sulfuric acid in a concentration up to 65.25 percent must be protected with non-metallic\nlinings or have a suitable corrosion allowance. A lining is not required for packagings containing\nsulfuric acid in concentrations greater than 65.25 percent.\nI hope this answers your inquiry.\nSincerely,\nWhoa\nSuoy\nSusan Gorsky\nSenior Transportation Regulations Specialist\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards\n180.407\n030225\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nBoothe\narbonite\nA DIVISION OF P & R INDUSTRIES, INC.\n$180.407f)\n3826 OLD EASTON ROAD\nDOYLESTOWN, PA 18901\nP.O.
