Types Of Chemical Drums
There are different varieties of drums available in the market and you need to find out which one is the best for you. Chemical drums are available in varieties like salvage drums, lab pack chemical drums or overpack drums.
Here's the description of some common types of chemical drums available in the market.
Salvage drums
Made of carbon steel, these drums come in sizes of 20 gallons to 110 gallons. They have a metal lever lock or bolt ring closure. These drums meet the UN and DOT requirements for dangerous goods shipments per CFR 173.3.
These drums are ideal for storing hazardous waste and are designed in such a way that the material in containers that have been breached are securely stored in the drum. Soiled absorbents contaminated with hazardous waste also can be stored in a salvage drum. In addition, salvage drums can replace original shipping containers for storage and transportation of hazardous substances.
Lab Pack Chemical Drums
These drums mostly come in sizes of 14 gallons, 20 gallons and 30 gallons. A lab pack chemical drum is made of tough carbon steel which is known for its strong nature and does not crack or break. Having a lock is important because you might have to lock the chemical drum at some point in time for security or safety reasons.
Lab Pack Chemical Drums are food-grade quality and meet UN, DOT and flammability standards. These standards are severe and, if you are getting a drum that meets such high compliance standards, you should not have doubts about its quality and safety. Steel drums like Lab Pack chemical drums, are made according to the packing groups 1, 2 and 3.
Lab pack chemical drums are perfect for handling small amount of hazardous waste. These are ideal to be used in forensic testing labs, QA labs for chemicals, dental businesses and other environmental testing labs.
Overpack Drums
These drums are made from 16-gauge (1.5mm) carbon steel and are known for high strength as well as extreme resistance to chemicals. Overpack drums also meet the 3-psi pressure test.
In case you are required to comply with DOT requirements, it is important that you buy an overpack drum that fits the criteria. An overpack drum comes with a metal bolt band and lids, therefore, is ideal for storing soiled absorbents, containers with hazardous chemicals and leaking containers.
