Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How do you transport a 55 gallon drum?

A.

• Move your shoulder low & close to the drum.
• When you feel the drum reaching its balancing point, slowly advance while moving your legs.
• Put your hands & shoulder width apart when utilising the drag / pull technique.
• Shift your weight to your back foot while bracing the drum to keep it from slipping.

Q. What are the points to consider while transporting steel drums?

A.

• For transportation, the drums must be mounted on pallets and be critical when choosing pallets that can support the weight of the loaded drums.
• The drums shouldn't protrude over the edges of the pallets while being placed on the pallets. They ought to be a perfect fit on the outside.

Q. What is the difference between a gasket and a flange?

A. Under diverse operating situations having varying pressure and temperature ratings, flange gaskets provide a static seal between two flange faces. A gasket creates a seal to keep liquids and gases in place by filling the minuscule crevices and imperfections of the flange faces.
