5 Gallon Steel Drum, Black, UN Rated, Unlined, Cover w/Bolt Ring and Gasket

This UN Rated black 5 gallon open head steel drum features a rust inhibitor. This steel drum is ideal for solids and thicker liquids (oils, absorbents, syrups, glues, etc.) and is typically used in situations where frequent addition or extraction of the contents occurs. This container has a white cover with a EPDM rubber gasket and 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. UN specifications include a rating of UN1A2/Y1.8/150 for liquids and UN1A2/X60/S for solids. This steel container meets strict wall thickness requirements, 0.9/0.9/0.9 mm (top/body/bottom) 20 gauge ASTM grade carbon steel, 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
• Great for thicker liquids (oils, adhesives, etc.) as well as solid materials
• Rust inhibitor prevents the drum from rusting prior to being filled but is not intended to act as a lining
• Include a white cover with a EPDM rubber gasket and a bolt ring (12 Gauge w/4″ Bolt & 5/8″ Nut) closure
