How to Safely Transport Closed-Top Iron Drums?

To ensure cargo protection across diverse transport conditions, both users and logistics operators impose specific performance requirements on iron drums. As closed-top drums must remain sealed and leak-proof, they typically undergo a pressure test: compressed air is introduced at a specified pressure, and the drum must maintain this pressure for five minutes without leakage to meet sealing standards.

During transit, closed-top drums with internal anti-corrosion coatings are stacked in multiple layers. Should these drums exhibit poor compression resistance, those positioned in lower layers may deform or rupture under external pressure. Consequently, filled closed-top drums should be stacked to specified heights and maintained for 24 hours without sustaining damage or significant deformation to confirm adequate compression performance. These are the key considerations for transporting steel drums. Should you encounter any further issues during use, please do not hesitate to consult us.
