Understanding Barrels

*Site Abbreviations

NFG = None Food Grade

FG     = Food Grade

RL     =  Removable Lid

NRL = None Removable Lid

*Understanding Metal Barrel Ring Types

 Metal 55-gallon drums come in different ring configurations, each designed to provide varying levels of strength and durability based on their intended use. Here’s what each ring type means:

  • 2-Ring Barrels – Feature two reinforcing bands around the drum. These are commonly used for general storage and transport, offering a lighter-weight option while maintaining structural integrity.
  • 3-Ring Barrels – Have three reinforcing bands, adding extra strength and durability. These are ideal for heavier-duty applications, including liquid storage, industrial use, and more demanding conditions.
  • No-Ring Barrels – A smooth-sided drum with no reinforcement rings. These are often used for custom applications or repurposing projects where rings are not necessary.

The more rings a barrel has, the more reinforced and structurally stable it becomes, making it better suited for heavy loads or high-stress environments. Choose the right type based on your storage, transport, or project needs!

*55-Gallon Plastic Drum Colors & Their Uses

 Plastic barrels come in different colors, often indicating their intended use. Here’s what each color typically represents:

  • Blue – Common food-grade barrel for water, food storage, and pharmaceuticals.
  • White (Natural) – Semi-transparent for easy content visibility, ideal for food, water, and chemicals.
  • Black – Non-food grade, used for waste disposal, oils, and industrial storage. Offers UV protection.
  • Red – Used for hazardous materials, flammable liquids, and fuel storage.
  • Yellow – Signifies biohazard or chemical waste, often used in medical or industrial settings.
  • Green – Associated with eco-friendly uses, like composting, rainwater collection, and agriculture.

*These color meanings do not always hold true to all plastic barrels!
