These have been described as "Trailer EU", "Transit EU", "Transport EU", etc. Who is right, or is there any real standard? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.136.29.178 ( talk) 18:25, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
The data in the Equivalence section, is not as the data found in Containerization article. The numeric values of the volumes are different.
It seems like the values of the volume in this article is about the capacity (the interior volume) of the container, while the other article gives the total volume of the container, and this is obvious by simple calculation of the dimensions.-- TheEgyptian ( talk) 14:38, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Additionally the numbers don't make any sense. How can a container that is only 12.5% longer (45 ft vs. 40 ft) have 1.55 times as much volume with width and height being the same?
What about TEU as an abbreviation of "Treaty on European Union"? The german wikipedia integrated it. As it is an english abbreviation, I think it's worth minding. Check: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEU —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.123.205.24 ( talk) 13:26, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

40 ft (12.2 m) | 8 ft (2.44 m) | 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m) | 2,720 cu ft (77 m3) | 2 |
45 ft (13.7 m) | 8 ft (2.44 m) | 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m) | 3,060 cu ft (86.6 m3) | 2 or 2.25 |
48 ft (14.6 m) | 8 ft (2.44 m) | 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m) | 3,264 cu ft (92.4 m3) | 2.4 |
53 ft (16.2 m) | 8 ft (2.44 m) | 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m) | 3,604 cu ft (102.1 m3) | 2.65 |

I think this article is horrible to read because of the unfortunate use of feet and inches represented as decimals of feet. The imperial system does not cater for feet done as a decimal value. One specifies inches. This is even worse here because in speech one refers to "eight foot six containers" not "8.5 feet containers". I realise this will mess up the automatic conversion but I think it needs explicitly stating in feet and inches. Does anyone else have a view on this?

Looking at this recent change, I wonder whether it might be better to use a consistent number of significant figures as below rather than the currently inconsistent 1 or zero decimal places since, as is stated in the article, "the TEU is an inexact unit, and hence cannot be converted precisely into other units."
Length | Width | Height | Approximate Volume | TEU |

20 ft (6.1 m) | 8 ft (2.44 m) | 8.5 ft (2.6 m) | 1,360 cu ft (39 m3) | 1 |
