Flammable liquids are
volatile in their nature, ie they evaporate readily under normal atmospheric
conditions. The evaporation rate increases if the liquids are located
in warmer areas, or near a heat source. As flammable liquids evaporate
and mix with the surrounding air, a condition may arise where the vapours
generated can be ignited. If ignition of the vapours occurs, the heat
of the flame results in increased generation of flammable vapours, further
fueling the flame.
In order for a flammable
liquids fire to occur, three key elements must be present - fuel, oxygen and
heat. Our cans are designed to remove one of the key elements for a
fire so that the hazards associated with a potential flammable liquids fire
may be more readily controlled.
We offer a range of type 1
and 2 safety cans for the safe storage and transport of flammable liquids.
Protectoseal
Type I Safety Storage Cans feature rugged, lead-free, Ziacote steel
construction for safe, in-plant storage and transport of flammables.
Features include a locking flash arrester that prevents ignition of vapours
within the container due to external flames. The wide opening spout allows
fast, easy filling and emptying, while the spring-operated, self-closing cap
opens automatically to relieve excess pressure. |
