30 gallon closed head steel drum, UN rated steel drum, chemical storage drum, and rust inhibitor steel drum are useful keywords for this product page. This drum gives you a strong storage option for many liquids that need a secure closed head container during handling, shipping, or storage.

This 30 gallon steel drum is made for chemicals, inks, detergents, lubricants, and other compatible liquids. The closed head design helps reduce exposure while the product is stored or moved. You get a tough steel container that works well in industrial, shop, warehouse, and shipping settings. The drum is built from first quality cold rolled steel. It uses an 18 gauge top and bottom with a 20 gauge body. This gives the drum strong support without making it too large or hard to handle. The black exterior also gives it a clean industrial look.

This closed head steel drum includes one 2 inch NPS fitting and one 3/4 inch NPS fitting. These fittings can be opened with a bung wrench, making filling and dispensing more controlled. The two-opening setup gives you more flexibility when handling compatible liquids. The inside is unlined but includes a rust inhibitor. This helps slow rust during transit and short-term storage, but it does not stop rust forever. Under clean, low-humidity conditions, empty drums may be stored up to 30 days before rust becomes a concern.

This drum is UN rated 1A1/X1.8/300 and is designed to meet UN requirements for hazardous materials under DOT 49 CFR. That makes it a strong choice when you need a 30 gallon steel drum for approved low hazardous material shipping or storage. This 30 gallon closed head steel drum works well when you need a smaller steel drum than a standard 55 gallon option. It is useful for liquids where product protection, drum strength, and approved fittings matter. Common uses include chemical plants, maintenance shops, ink handling, lubricant storage, detergent storage, and industrial supply rooms.

Because the drum is steel, it can also be recycled, reconditioned, or repurposed when allowed by your process and product history. Always check chemical compatibility before use. For longer empty storage or humid areas, choose a lined drum, such as phenolic or epoxy lined steel, instead of relying only on rust inhibitor.
