The various regulations are very clear about the importance of following the closing instructions when using UN-rated packaging to ship dangerous goods. However, there are some specific types of UN packaging that require a special tooling, called a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product\/pa-us910hhp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crimping tool<\/a>. If the closing instructions require crimping of a drum, it is important to understand what that means and how to obtain the correct tooling necessary.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What is Crimping? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The crimping process involves using a crimping tool to create a secure closure by folding and sealing the edges of the drum lid and body together. The drum below would be an example where crimping would be necessary.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/product\/mt-m50\/\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-379914 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/03\/MT-M50-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Steel Open Head Pail - 5 Gallon Steel Pail\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/03\/MT-M50-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/03\/MT-M50-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/03\/MT-M50-140x140.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Essentially the lid is placed on the drum, and the lugs on the lid are squeezed by a crimping tool like below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-857606 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/03\/PA-US910HHP-150x150.png\" alt=\"Crimping Tool - for 5 Gallon Pail\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/03\/PA-US910HHP-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/03\/PA-US910HHP-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/03\/PA-US910HHP-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/03\/PA-US910HHP-140x140.png 140w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/03\/PA-US910HHP-60x60.png 60w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/03\/PA-US910HHP-90x90.png 90w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/03\/PA-US910HHP-64x64.png 64w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/03\/PA-US910HHP.png 325w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The applied pressure causes the edges of the drum lid to be folded over the drum body. This folding creates a series of crimps or folds along the perimeter of the drum, effectively sealing the lid to the body.<\/p>\n<p>Crimping ensures a tight and tamper-resistant seal, which is important for maintaining the integrity of the contents within the drum. Crimping tools for steel drums come in different designs and sizes, but they usually involve a manual mechanism for applying pressure to the lid, creating the necessary crimps. Some crimping tools have a clamping or holding mechanism to secure the lid in place during the crimping process, this ensures that the lid doesn&#8217;t move during the crimping operation. Why is this important? Not only do we want to keep the contents inside of the drum and ship them safely, but it is a requirement in the regulations that packaging is closed in the same manner it is tested. For example, in the 49CFR 178.602 (e), it says that each packaging must be closed in preparation for testing in the same manner as if prepared for actual shipment, and all closures must be installed using proper techniques and torques. As always, the closing instructions for your packaging will tell you exactly how to close the packaging and what type of tooling if any is required.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have questions about UN Packaging?
