EAGLE
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about EAGLE from 3G Electric.
What UN ratings are available for EAGLE salvage drums?
EAGLE salvage drums in the 3G Electric catalog carry UN ratings such as 1H2/X340/S, 1H2/X200/S, 1H2/X75/S, and 1H2/Y180/S. These ratings indicate the drum's performance for solids and liquids, with X and Y denoting different test levels. The ratings are marked on the drums and are part of the specification for transport and containment. When selecting a salvage drum, match the UN rating to the material being contained and the applicable regulations. The drums are made of HDPE with open heads and various closing rings, including metal bolt ring, metal lever lock, and screw-on lid. Capacities range from 20 gallons to 95 gallons, with nestable designs for space efficiency.
What is the difference between EAGLE Type I and Type II safety cans?
EAGLE Type I safety cans have a single opening for filling and pouring, while Type II cans have two openings: one for filling and one for pouring, often with a hose. The Type II design allows for dispensing without opening the main lid, which can reduce vapor release. In the 3G Electric catalog, an example is the EAGLE Type II safety can for kerosene, 2 1/2 gallon capacity, with a 5/8 inch OD hose and blue finish. Type I cans are typically used for smaller volumes and simpler dispensing. Both types are designed for flammable liquid storage and have features like flash arrestors and self-closing lids. Selection depends on the intended use and user preference.
What materials are EAGLE overpack drums made from?
EAGLE overpack drums in the 3G Electric catalog are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). For example, a 55-gallon plastic overpack drum has an open head and a plastic lever lock ring, and is unlined with no interior coating. HDPE offers chemical resistance and durability for containment applications. The drum is designed to hold an original shipping container for transport or storage, and carries UN ratings of 1H2/Y100/S for solids and liquids. Overpack drums are used when a container needs additional protection or containment. The HDPE construction is common for these products due to its resistance to many chemicals and its ability to be molded into nestable shapes.
How do I select an EAGLE drain filter for stormwater applications?
Selection of an EAGLE drain filter depends on the drain size, flow rate, and type of debris to be captured. The catalog includes an adjustable-frame insert street drain filter with dimensions of 28 inches length by 16 inches width by 16 inches height, and a maximum flow rate of 500 gpm. It filters debris from stormwater runoff. The adjustable frame allows fitting to different drain openings. Consider the expected flow rate and the size of debris when choosing a filter. The product is designed for insertion into catch basins or street drains. For specific flow requirements, consult the datasheet. 3G Electric can provide product data to assist with selection.
Are EAGLE nestable salvage drums available in different capacities?
Yes, EAGLE nestable salvage drums are available in capacities including 20 gallons, 30 gallons, 65 gallons, and 95 gallons in the 3G Electric catalog. They are made of HDPE with open heads and various closing rings such as metal bolt ring, metal lever lock, and screw-on lid. The nestable design allows empty drums to be stacked, reducing storage space. UN ratings vary by model, for example 1H2/X75/S for the 20-gallon, 1H2/Y180/S for the 30-gallon, 1H2/X200/S for the 65-gallon, and 1H2/X340/S for the 95-gallon. These drums are used for holding hazardous materials or contaminated containers. Selection depends on the volume and weight of the material to be contained.
