UN Fuel storage steel drums - 5L or 11L

FT - Fût de stockage carburant

Data sheet

Composition: Steel
Property: High impact resistance
UN approved

UN-approved (1A1/X) heavy-duty steel drum for aviation fuel storage and transport. Engineered for safe collection and shipment of kerosene samples to testing laboratories by air or road.

Specially designed for aviation refueling and refueling maintenance professionals, this steel storage drum guarantees maximum safety during crucial fuel sampling phases. Its tightly sealed, robust construction effectively prevents contamination risks, industrial accidents, and dangerous fluid spills in airport environments. Perfectly suited for explosive atmospheres (ATEX zones), it ensures the absolute integrity of your fuel samples (Jet A-1, AVGAS) from the runway to the laboratory. Featuring an ergonomic carrying handle and a reinforced bung, it streamlines daily maintenance handling in high-stakes operational environments.

Fields of Application & Hazardous Environments

The Aqualine fuel storage drum is the gold standard equipment for refueling operators, petroleum terminal managers, and airport maintenance technicians. It is mostly used during mandatory quality control inspections of aviation fuel (water detection, density verification, microbiological testing). Utilized directly on airport tarmacs, in refineries, or inside bulk fuel storage depots, it addresses the harshest constraints of hazardous ATEX locations where eliminating leaks and ignition sources is vital.
