16 Gallon UN Rated Open Head Steel Drum with Bolt Ring Closure

16 gallon open head steel drum

This 16 gallon open head steel drum is designed for industrial storage and transportation where strength and compliance matter. Made from 20-gauge cold-rolled steel, it offers dependable performance for both regulated and non-regulated materials.

In addition, the drum includes a bolt-type locking ring with an EPDM gasket, which helps create a tight seal during normal handling and shipping. As a result, contents remain better protected during transport and storage.

The unlined steel interior contains a rust inhibitor to help slow corrosion over time. Because of this, the drum is suitable for repeated use in many industrial environments. When filled, closed, and labeled correctly, this container meets UN performance standards for both liquids and solids.

Specifically, the drum carries a UN rating of 1A2/Y1.5/150 for liquids and 1A2/X200/S for solids, making it a practical option for operations that require compliant packaging. Furthermore, the drum is reusable and recyclable, which supports long-term operational efficiency.

Finally, this steel drum is made in the USA and is commonly used across manufacturing, environmental, and commercial applications.
