5 Gallon Metal Drum

The 5-Gallon Metal Drum is a compact industrial container with a capacity of approximately 19 liters, made of high-quality cold-rolled steel or tinplate. It combines strength, durability, and portability, and is widely used for the safe storage and transport of chemicals, coatings, oils, and other materials. Compared to the standard 55-gallon drum, the 5-gallon size is more suitable for small-batch, high-precision applications.

1. High-Strength Material: Constructed from high-quality steel, featuring a robust structure that is pressure- and impact-resistant.

2. Excellent Sealing Performance: Equipped with a sealing cap and leak-proof gaskets to effectively prevent liquid evaporation and leakage.

3. Corrosion-Resistant Treatment: Inner and outer walls can be sprayed, galvanized, or epoxy-treated to enhance rust resistance.

4. Standardized Design: Meets international transportation and storage standards, facilitating stacking and handling.

5. Versatile Applications: Suitable for packaging liquids, semi-solids, and some powdered materials.

Confirm the compatibility of the inner coating before loading corrosive chemicals.

Avoid prolonged exposure to high humidity during storage.

Transportation of dangerous goods must comply with local regulations and UN certification requirements.

1. Choose material based on contents: Carbon steel drums for general chemicals; 304 stainless steel for food/pharmaceuticals; Drums with special inner coatings for highly corrosive substances.

2. Confirm UN certification requirement: For dangerous goods transport, always choose UN1A1 (closed) or UN1A2 (open) certified drums.

3. Pay attention to sealing method: Closed-top drums are preferred for liquids; open-top drums are preferred for solids/pastes.

4. Check wall thickness: For long-term storage or stacking, it is recommended to choose 18 gauge (1.2mm) thickened drums.
