Specifications

Made from 316 stainless steel, our open head 55 gallon stainless steel drums are an ideal solution for products requiring drum purity and compatibility of materials, depending on their composition. Due to unique properties, these drums can outperform carbon steel drums in terms of corrosion resistance, tensile strength and reusability. These drums are FDA compliant and include a bolt ring closure. A bolt ring is a closure ring that holds the cover on to the body of the container by encompassing the cover and the top of the container in a groove. This ring is then tightened by a bolt that pulls the ends of the rings together. A calibrated torque wrench is used to confirm proper closure.

Key benefits:

The addition of 2-3% molybdenum gives 316 better overall corrosion resistance for certain applications compared to 304 stainless steel
Extreme durability
Complies with domestic and international regulations
Cover included
Bolt ring closure
Proudly Made in the USA
