Hazardous storage cans are utilized to safely store, transport, and dispense flammable or hazardous liquids.
Typically, they are made of polyethylene, 24-gauge galvanized steel, or 24-gauge stainless steel.
(Gauge is a measure of thickness; the lower the gauge, the thicker the material.) Available in various styles, hazardous storage cans include Type I cans, which have a single spout for filling and pouring, and Type II cans, which feature a flexible metal hose for pouring and a second opening for filling.
Often color-coded for different liquids (for instance, red cans for gasoline, blue cans for kerosene, yellow cans for diesel fuel, or green cans for oil), they may also include common features like flame arrestors, which help prevent the liquid inside the can from igniting, and seam welds, which help prevent leaks.
Certain hazardous storage cans are FM Approved, and many meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards for the storage and handling of flammable liquids.
Used in various commercial and industrial environments, hazardous storage cans can also be suitable for home use.
