Specifications

This UN Rated (UN1A1/X1.8/300) 55 gallon black tight head carbon steel drum has a white top and rust inhibitor. The 18/22/18 gauge (top/body/bottom) carbon steel is tested for durability. This tight head steel drum has 2" NPT & 3/4" NPT nylon fittings, which may make it suitable for some flammable liquid storage applications. Made from highly impact resistant nylon resin for durability and protection, the plugs allow venting of the drum contents to relieve pressure. The plugs are also designed to melt as temperatures rise, which also relieves container pressure and helps prevent explosions. Diesel is a flammable liquid so proper storage is essential for personnel safety. Movement during transportation increases the risk for chemical reactions like explosions, which makes this steel drum with nylon plugs storage a suitable solution for such liquids.

Key benefits:

May be suitable for some flammable liquid storage applications
Tight head containers have a non-removable top
Made of tough carbon steel
Rust inhibitor prevents drum from rusting prior to being filled and is not intended to act as a lining
Nylon plugs melt with rising temperatures, preventing the drum from exploding from within
Melt range 490°F (254°C)
Nylon plugs meet DOT/UN Performance Standards Groups I, II, and III
Factory Mutual certified for National Fire Code- NFPA 30

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.
