Specifications
Made from 304 stainless steel, our UN Rated open head 4 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 a neoprene 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.

Key benefits:
  • Most common grade of stainless steel and is widely used for many applications
  • Contains approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel
  • UN Rated UN1A2/X25/S
  • Can be used as a Salvage Drum
  • Bolt ring closure
  • Proudly Made in the USA

Material:
