Imagine filling your dangerous goods into a drum, only to find out shortly after that there is a slow leak. Seems like a messy disaster, doesn\u2019t it? One, you have to figure out the safest way to clean it up, and two you still need to figure out how to ship the drum once you figure out how to stop the leaking. This is where Salvage drums come to the rescue!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What are Salvage Drums?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salvage drums are designed to rescue you if you have leaky dangerous goods packaging. If your drum or combination packaging is leaking, salvage drums can be used to ship them to where they need to go. Salvage drums are structurally designed to contain leaking, damaged, or non-compliant packaging containing dangerous goods. You just have to safely place the leaking drum or packaging inside the salvage drum using proper PPE, close the drum, add cushioning or absorbent if necessary, and it is ready to ship or store the dangerous goods. One thing I must clarify here, a salvage drum is not an overpack, it is a UN regulated drum that is meant to be used to ship or store packaging with dangerous goods that have leaks in them<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Rules of Using Salvage Drums<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Per 49CFR 173.3 (c)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the salvage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/definitions\/index.php?width=840&amp;height=800&amp;iframe=true&amp;def_id=e17f3e9c32bc6ebf428182776b9b4ef0&amp;term_occur=999&amp;term_src=Title:49:Subtitle:B:Chapter:I:Subchapter:C:Part:173:Subpart:A:173.3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">drum<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> must be UN 1A2, 1B2, 1N2 or 1H2 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/definitions\/index.php?width=840&amp;height=800&amp;iframe=true&amp;def_id=f023bd69350c0af6a174c93f2236f0eb&amp;term_occur=999&amp;term_src=Title:49:Subtitle:B:Chapter:I:Subchapter:C:Part:173:Subpart:A:173.3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tested<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and marked for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/definitions\/index.php?width=840&amp;height=800&amp;iframe=true&amp;def_id=94561b89adcbc580292061e15fd9751d&amp;term_occur=999&amp;term_src=Title:49:Subtitle:B:Chapter:I:Subchapter:C:Part:173:Subpart:A:173.3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Packing Group<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> III or higher performance standards for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/definitions\/index.php?width=840&amp;height=800&amp;iframe=true&amp;def_id=23c49c047f0a71240d64efb5f42c3d4d&amp;term_occur=999&amp;term_src=Title:49:Subtitle:B:Chapter:I:Subchapter:C:Part:173:Subpart:A:173.3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">liquids<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/definitions\/index.php?width=840&amp;height=800&amp;iframe=true&amp;def_id=f40088d0d6d7271ce078cd014bc8adcf&amp;term_occur=999&amp;term_src=Title:49:Subtitle:B:Chapter:I:Subchapter:C:Part:173:Subpart:A:173.3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">solids<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as well as pass a leakproofness test of 20 kPa.
