217 litre 1A1 metal drum – partial head, UN approved for liquids
The 217-litre tight-head (1A1) steel drum is a certified industrial packaging for the transport of liquids, including products classified as dangerous goods . Designed for use in international logistics and compatible with shipments in ISO containers , it complies with the UNI EN ISO 15750-2 standard relating to tight-head metal drums.
Made of UNI EN 10130 (Fe P01) steel , it offers high structural stability thanks to the longitudinal welding of the body and the triple-locked ends with sealant. The double ribs and rolling expansions increase resistance during handling, stacking, and long-distance transport.
The Tri-Sure® 2” and ¾” galvanized steel cap closure system, combined with EPDM gaskets, ensures a secure seal against leaks and contamination, making it suitable for shipments by road, rail, sea and air.
