A Bunghole is the threaded opening on a barrel or tank, where a stopper or valve is placed.
There are bunghole adapters for specialized pumps, valves, or flow directors.
Bungholes are ensconced in an open-top or the welded top outer attachment — the width of the hole typically measures 51 millimeters (2 inches) in diameter. If a tank is appointed, assess whether the contents are aggressively reactive or unsuitable. If you abide by the directions found in 40 CFR 265.177(a), mixing incompatible waste is forbidden under 40 CFR 265.177(a) (b). You prevent the toxic chemicals from reacting to each other and causing a burn, explosion, or other hazardous occurrences by retaining incompatible waste isolated.
Also, double-check if the chemical contents will not react to the container itself. Some toxins are highly corrosive, which can cause a metal drum reaction, potentially causing the drum to collapse or leak and release the harmful contents into the environment. For corrosive chemicals, plastic or plastic-lined drums are usually excellent alternatives. For non-corrosive, oil-based, and combustible contents, steel drums are generally the safer option.
