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.

Specification Sheet

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.

Our most common size is a 55-gallon capacity. However, we also offer 5-, 10-, 16-, 20- and 30-gallon capacity drums.

Most of our new lined steel drums are FDA approved for food or pharmaceutical storage. Unlined and reconditioned drums are not FDA approved for food or pharmaceutical storage.

Are open head drums strong?

This open head drum is made of carbon steel making it a strong and durable container for storing and transporting a variety of contents. These drums can often be reused. We also offer UN-rated drums that can safely store certain hazardous materials.
