I used to work for a company that made the steel rings that secured the lids to the drums at one time we supplied all the drum companies in the United States with the steel locking rings

Sir , i want to know which type oil used on roller for seaming operationa and which place spray oil at flat point or profile location

[@jackal5096]

Was really interested in how the bottoms and tops were attached it to the cylindrical shell (i.e., forming the chimes). Found it - U.S. Patent No. 3,425,381, Feb 4, 1969,

So I just started working for a company that makes oil drums and I wanted to see the process from beginning to end, surprised to see that I'm not replaceable with a metal bar *just* yet 🤣 0:54

So I hope they were built well and hold fast so they can get fished/vacc'd up! : )

[@stephengnb]

Are shipping drums still used widely in the oil industry? It doesn't seem very efficient to fill those/drain then, especially when they have cargo ships that act like one big barrel...

[@fandango_buttlicks]

StephenB so a auto repair shop is gonna wanna buy a whole ships worth of oil to do oil changes with instead of one barrel? ur fucking stupid

[@marshallallensmith]

Not much anymore in the crude oil industry but they have certainly found uses in other chemical and petrochemical industry applications such as shipping finished bulk materials.

[@marshallallensmith]

PS: If you do the calculations then a cylinder still seems the be the ideal container shape for applications where you need to maximise space while also maintaining strength, uniformity, and ease of handling requirements :) The only way to really beat that is to do as you mentioned and just fill a special ships hull itself full of oil.

[@marshallallensmith]

@@fandango_buttlicks You don't put crude oil in your engine... Motor oil is a refined product. It either ships in rail tanker cars or 55g drums unless being broken down to plastic gallon and quart containers for consumer grade purchase.

Is this Grief Brother's?

[@Dwight_0094]

I sure hope not. If so they lied when they said leak proof. I fill drums up at my job and find leakings chimes all the time

[@september11bushdidittoyou79]

How long do you think one would last buried 5 Meyers deep?

[@lifeofreggiewoods]

i’d say around 5 years, simply because the metal will rust. (i use these drums as bunker and coverage on an outdoor lasertag field) the top tend to start rusting and cracking around that time. maybe even less

[@chueyzapata3425]

Hopefully they hold! ....did Ya see the DDT barrels off Channel islands California? : (

Super interesting but the soundtrack is painful. It seems like nearly all shows like this have super horrible background music. At least some smooth jazz, Please! I'm really curious tho, what genre of music would you call this?

[@RivLoveshine]

Wes Harmon Electronic, trap, maybe.

[@MikeJones-yf2xx]

These drums are to thin to weld on
