Specifications
This 55-gallon black steel drum features a white cover equipped with three fittings, two 2-inch and one 3/4-inch T-style, all secured with EPDM gaskets. The bolt ring closure keeps the lid firmly in place, reinforced by a 7/16-inch EPDM tubular gasket. The three fittings enhance airflow inside the drum, allow compatibility with multiple dispensing attachments, and boost efficiency for both filling and pouring. Additionally, the three structural hoops along the drum’s body improve grip and provide extra rigidity. The drum meets UN specifications, rated UN1A2/Y1.6/150 for liquids and UN1A2/X400/S for solids.

Material:

Carbon steel (CS) is metal alloy that is made of iron and carbon. It is known as a cost-effective alloying material. There are four types of carbon steel that vary in strength level: low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, high carbon steel, and very high carbon steel. Engine parts, car body panels, and select knives are made of carbon steel. The Cary Company also has carbon steel IBC tanks, filter vessels, and drums that work well with many liquids.
