Oil Drum
Oil drum in the packaging of lubricants
One of the most important aspects of lubricants that directly affects the quality, safety, and longevity of the product is the packaging. Steel drums are the preferred choice for packaging lubricants due to their strength and protective properties. To ensure optimal performance, a steel drum for packaging lubricants must have specific features. You can read about these essential features that a steel drum for effective and safe packaging of lubricants must have below.
In addition, in the lubricants industry, the type of packaging plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity, safety, and performance of the product it carries. The following outlines the basic standards that lubricant drums must adhere to, ensuring they are fit for purpose.

Material composition of oil drums
The sheet used in manufacturing oil drums must have specific properties for excellent performance. Ideally, the drums should be made of high-grade steel, such as cold-rolled steel, which offers higher strength and durability. This ensures that the drum can withstand the rigors of transportation and storage without compromising the integrity of the lubricants inside.
Standards for drum sheets
The sheet used in manufacturing lubricant drums must meet specific standards to ensure durability and chemical compatibility. High-grade steel, such as cold-rolled steel, is often required. The materials must comply with standards such as:
EN 10130: This European standard covers cold-rolled low-carbon steel, which is suitable for drum manufacturing.
Corrosion-resistant coatings in oil drums
Given that lubricants often contain chemicals that can be corrosive, steel drums must have an internal coating or lining that is resistant to corrosion. Common coatings include epoxy phenolic, which creates a barrier between the steel and the lubricant, preventing chemical reactions that could degrade the product or the drum itself.
Leak-proof sealing in oil drums
A steel drum must be equipped with a reliable sealing mechanism to prevent leaks. This includes multiple layers of seam protection (compliant with global standards for chemical resistance).
Sealing standards:
ISO 15750-2: This standard specifies the design, dimensions, and performance requirements for closed-head drums (such as oil drums) with a nominal capacity of 212 liters, 216.5 liters, and 230 liters.
Durable exterior coating of oil drums
The exterior of the drum should be coated with a resilient finish that can withstand harsh environmental conditions, including exposure to moisture, impact, and UV radiation. This helps protect the drum from rust and external damage during storage and transportation. Typically, powder coating or electrostatic coating is used for this purpose.
Standards for durability and strength
ISO 15750-1: This standard covers the design and performance requirements for 208-liter steel drums, including their structural integrity under various conditions.
Drop Test: This test method assesses the drum’s resistance to impact, ensuring that the drums can withstand drops and impacts during handlin It should be noted that at Beh Chelik Matin drum manufacturing, these tests are passed beyond the standard requirements.
Standard dimensions of oil drums
The most common standard drum is the 55-gallon (208-liter) drum, known as the 220-liter drum, and is used in various industries. It is worth mentioning that at Beh Chelik Matin drum manufacturing, different sizes and capacities are accepted based on customer orders, with customer satisfaction being the pride of Beh Chelik Matin drum manufacturing.
Safety features of oil drums
Safety in industrial settings is of paramount importance. Steel oil drums must be designed with safety features such as grounding clips to prevent static electricity and potential sparks, which could lead to fire or explosion, especially in environments dealing with flammable lubricants. Additionally, the drums should have clear labels for handling instructions and hazard warnings.
Standards for handling and transportation
Standards ensuring the safe transportation and handling of lubricant drums include:
ISO 668: This standard specifies the classification, dimensions, and rating of Series 1 freight containers, ensuring compatibility with standard transportation equipment.
ADR (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road): This agreement includes packaging requirements for the transportation of hazardous materials, ensuring that drums are suitable for road transport.
Quality control standards
Quality control and regular testing are essential to ensure continuous compliance with standards. Relevant protocols include:
ISO 9001: This standard specifies the requirements for a quality management system, ensuring manufacturers consistently produce drums that meet regulatory and customer requirements.
ASTM D4991: This test method evaluates the integrity of containers, including their ability to contain liquids without leakage under specified conditions.
Conclusion
The ideal steel drum for packaging lubricants must have high-grade materials, corrosion-resistant coatings, leak-proof sealing, durable exterior coatings, standard dimensions, reinforced structure, essential safety features, recyclability, and ease of use. By adhering to these criteria, manufacturers can ensure their lubricants are packaged in a way that preserves quality, enhances safety, and promotes efficiency throughout the supply chain.

Adhesive and resin industry
Steel drums with closed doors are very suitable for packaging materials such as glue and resin due to their resistant structure and variety of sizes. These drums, which are made of high quality steel or plastic, can protect resin and glue against chemical and physical factors and prevent changes in the quality of the materials inside them.
Food industry
Steel drums play a vital role in the food industry. Their sturdy and versatile construction makes them ideal for storing and transporting a variety of food products. However, ensuring the safety and quality of food products stored in these drums requires compliance with strict standards and regulations.
One of the most important topics in lubricants that affects the quality, safety and longevity of the product is packaging. Steel drums are the preferred choice for packaging lubricants due to their strength and protective properties. To ensure optimal performance, a steel drum for lubricant packaging must have certain characteristics.
pharmaceutical industry
Drug drums are a vital component in the pharmaceutical packaging industry. Their robust construction ensures the integrity and safety of contents during storage and transportation. These drums are often covered with a protective coating to prevent any possible reaction between the metal and the drug.
