Tight Heads Jerrycans FAQ

Frequently asked questions about this collection.

What are tight-head jerrycans used for in laboratories?

Tight-head jerrycans are rigid liquid containers with relatively small, closable openings. They are used to store, collect, handle, and transport compatible laboratory chemicals, industrial liquids, and liquid waste. Their closed-head construction supports secure containment when fitted with the appropriate closure.

What types of jerrycans are available at LabSafetyShop?

LabSafetyShop offers high-density polyethylene (HDPE) UN/DOT containers in 10 L, 13.5 L, 20 L, and 60 L capacities. Available configurations include closed-cap containers suitable for compatible chemical storage, liquid waste collection, and certain regulated packaging applications.

What are the advantages of HDPE chemical jerrycans?

HDPE jerrycans offer durable, lightweight construction and resistance to many compatible laboratory chemicals. They are commonly used for liquid waste collection and chemical storage because they are impact-resistant and available in practical handling capacities. However, HDPE is not compatible with every solvent or chemical mixture.

What does UN/DOT mean on a laboratory liquid container?

UN/DOT packaging markings identify packaging designed and tested against specified hazardous-material transport requirements. A UN marking indicates a particular packaging design type and performance rating. It does not mean the container is approved for every hazardous liquid or shipping condition. The complete packaging, closure, contents, and transport method must meet applicable regulations.

What is the difference between a tight-head jerrycan and an open-head container?

A tight-head jerrycan has a relatively small filling or dispensing opening that is closed with a cap. An open-head container has a larger removable lid or top opening. Tight-head designs are commonly used for liquids, while open-head containers may be preferred when wider access is required for filling, cleaning, or handling other materials.

How do I choose the correct laboratory jerrycan?

Select a jerrycan based on chemical compatibility, required capacity, cap and neck configuration, operating conditions, and intended use. For liquid waste, consider the expected chemical mixture and safe fill limits. For hazardous-material transport, verify the complete packaging's UN performance marking, closure instructions, and regulatory suitability.
