Determination of the volume of steel drums

Aug 11, 2021

a. If the user holds liquid, it is calculated according to the specific gravity of the product, but there must be enough space for the product to expand and crack by 10% due to thermal expansion (but a low boiling point product is another matter) to prevent the steel drum from expanding and cracking when it is deformed. B. If the user holds solids, the steel drum manufacturer shall be required to provide a certain volume of steel drum for trial installation, and then converted into a steel drum of the required weight and volume, but a certain amount of space must be reserved for wrapping with plastic bags to prevent steel The barrel swells and cracks when it falls deformed. C. If users hold products with low boiling points (generally referring to boiling points below 60°C), they must fully consider that such products have vapor pressure at a certain temperature, and liquid vapor pressure increases with temperature. In addition, it is necessary to consider the product filling temperature and the highest storage and transportation temperature that the steel drum may encounter after the product is filled. Generally, 55°C should be considered. In some areas, the temperature difference between 60°C should be considered, which will cause product volume expansion and lead to steel Internal pressure is generated in the barrel. The sum of these two pressures cannot be greater than the allowable internal pressure of the steel drum, otherwise the steel drum will burst. Steel drums are allowed to withstand internal pressure. Please refer to the commodity inspection certificate for details or consult the steel drum manufacturer. D. If the user's filling temperature is high (above 60°C), the minimum temperature for storage and transportation must be considered. The temperature difference causes negative pressure in the steel drum, which causes the steel drum to sag, or sag when it touches the steel drum. Solution: 1. Screw on the screw plug after the filling product is cooled to a certain temperature; 2. Leave enough space. e. The height of the steel drum, the open drum refers to the outer height after removing the lid, the closed drum refers to the outer height, and the composite drum refers to the outer height.
