Metal Drums
Metal drums for hazardous or food-grade products. Metal drums are available with a open top design (removable lid + ring with lever) or with bungs (non-removable lid with 2' and 3/4' inlets for liquids). Metal drums are available with raw sheet metal or coated interiors in various formulations, including bisphenol-free food-grade coatings.
Metal drums can be certified for the transport of hazardous materials. Metal drums with open top lids have a certification code beginning with 1A2, while drums with spouts have an ADR certification code beginning with 1A1. Certifications are further distinguished for solid and liquid hazardous materials.
Examples:
ADR-certified open top metal drum for solid substances, packaging group II, max. gross weight 320 kg: 1A2/Y320/S,
Metal drum with bungs, certified for liquids, packaging group I, max. density 1.6, vapor pressure 100 kPa: 1A1/X1.6/100
Some drums are also available with dual solid/liquid certification, making them versatile: Example: FM212OTADRL
Metal drums are also available with an inner polyethylene liner, particularly for corrosive products; these are called composite drums, with the UN approval number 6HA1/....
There are also metal drums known as “emergency drums” designed to contain leaking, defective, or uncertified packaging. Their certification includes the letter T: Example: 1A2T
