Specifications
Made from 304 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 include an EPDM rubber gasket with 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.

  • Most common grade of stainless steel and is widely used for many applications
  • Contains approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel
  • Heavy-duty cast head with mounting bracket

Q & A
Customer Questions
Is this product safe for holding alcohol? I am also curious if there is an oil residue from the production of the barrel and if this drum would be FDA certified for a consumable product.
Thank you for your inquiry. The materials used to manufacture our stainless steel drums fall under specifications recommended by the FDA. However, this drum features a crevice that could cause contamination of your product. A seamless drum may be a better choice for your application, which we can source for you.
