Specifications
This reconditioned UN Rated black 55 gallon open head steel drum includes a rust inhibitor. This steel drum comes with a white cover that includes a sponge rubber gasket and a bolt ring closure. Built-in 2" and 3/4" NPT T-Style fitting plug & flange fittings on the cover feature Buna gaskets. A bolt ring 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. UN specifications include a rating of UN1A2/Y1.2/100 for liquids. This drum meets strict wall thickness requirements and is tested for strength and durability.

Key benefits:
  • Ideal for storage and transportation purposes
  • Open head containers (1A2 drums) have a removable cover creating convenient access to the inside of the drum
  • Rust inhibitor prevents the drum from rusting prior to being filled
  • White cover includes a sponge rubber gasket and a bolt ring (12 Gauge w/4" Bolt & 5/8" Nut) closure
  • 2" and 3/4" NPT T-Style fitting plug & flange fittings incorporate Buna gaskets
  • This reconditioned drum is supplied from a RIPA Member (Reusable Industrial Packaging Association). RIPA members must meet requirements for the proper handling of drums that come in and out, maintain an environmental insurance policy, and have a Responsible Container Management Policy.

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.

What are open head steel drums used for?
Though they can be used for liquids, open head drums are commonly used for solid and dry materials. They are also a good option for thicker liquids such as oils, syrups and glues.

Some of our open head steel drum lids have fittings that allow controlled flow of liquids in those applications.
