18、 This European Standard specifies the characteristics and dimensions of non-removable head (tight head) plastics drums with a nominal capacity of 210 l and 225 l. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, o
19、nly the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 20848-3, Packaging - Plastics drums - Part 3: Plug/bung closure systems for plastics drums with a nominal capacity of 113,6 l to 220 l (ISO 20848-3:2006) 3
20、Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 non-removable head (tight head) drum (TH) flat-ended or convex-ended circular cross-section packaging with openings for filling and emptying in the head not exceeding 70 mm in diameter 3.2 nominal
21、 capacity (NC) capacity in litres which, by convention, is used to represent a class of drums of similar brimful capacities 3.3 brimful capacity (BC) volume of water in litres held by the drum when filled through the filling orifice to the point of overflowing NOTE Annex A specifies the method for m
22、easuring brimful capacity. 3.4 total capacity (TC) volume of water in litres held by the drum when filled completely, i.e. following the removal of any air trapped in the drum NOTE Annex A specifies the method for measuring total capacity. 3.5 overall height (ho) height of the finished drum from the
23、 base to the highest point NOTE See Figure 1. 3.6 overall diameter (do) maximum diameter of the drum, where relevant NOTE See Figure 1. 3.7 bung housing position (pb) distance from the centre of the bung housing to the outside of the drum body 50 mm vertically below the top edge of the top handling
24、ring DIN EN 12707:2009-12 EN 12707:2009 (E) 5 NOTE See Figure 1. 3.8 drum mass mass of the empty drum including all closures 4 Requirements 4.1 Dimensions The dimensions and tolerances of the drum shall be as listed in Table 1 and as shown in Figure 1. The measurements shall be conducted at ambient
25、conditions but shall not be made within 48 h of manufacture. NOTE Apart from the dimensions specified, there are no restrictions on drum shape. 4.2 Drum mass The mass tolerance of the drum shall be within 4 %. NOTE The defined mass should be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier. 4.3 Materia
26、l identification symbol The drum shall be permanently marked with the relevant material identification symbol, i.e. the symbol identifying the material from which the drum is made. 4.4 Closures There shall be two closures, one of which shall be either a BCS 70 x 6 or a BCS 56 x 4 nominal plug size i
27、n accordance with EN ISO 20848-3. When fitted the closures shall not protrude above the overall height of the drum. NOTE For the purpose of transport and storage, the filled drum should be closed, using the appropriate tooling, to the manufacturers recommended closure torque for each type of gasket.
28、 4.5 Materials The drum shall be manufactured either from high density polyethylene or another suitable plastics materials appropriate to the physical and chemical requirements of its intended use. 4.6 Handling Provision shall be made to enable the drum to be mechanically handled using one or two pe

DIN EN 12707:2009-12 EN 12707:2009 (E) 6 4.8.2 The residue obtained when the drum is tested according to B.4 (pro
31、cedure B) is more dependent on the area and condition of the internal surface of the drum than procedure A and therefore can be in excess of that for procedure A. NOTE The maximum permitted figure should be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier. 4.9 Finish The external surface finish shall b
32、e suitable for the attachment of labels. NOTE 1 The nature of the internal and external finish should be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier. NOTE 2 The preferred colour option for the drum body is blue. The use of any other colour should be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier. 5
33、 Designation A non-removable head (tight head) drum (TH) manufactured in accordance with this Standard shall be designated in the following manner: Plastics drum TH EN 12707 NC Nominal capacity EXAMPLE 1 A non-removable head (tight head) drum (TH) manufactured in accordance with this standard with a
34、 nominal capacity of 210 l or 225 l would be designated: Plastics drum TH EN 12707 NC 210 l to 225 l. EXAMPLE 2 A non-removable head (tight head) drum with a nominal capacity of 225 l would be designated: Plastics drum TH EN 12707 NC - 225 l NOTE Where the drums are intended to be used for the trans
35、port of dangerous goods, attention is drawn to the regulatory requirements which govern the transport of those goods in the countries concerned. In Europe, depending upon the mode of transport, this means meeting the requirements of: European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Danger
36、ous Goods by Road (ADR); Regulations concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail (RID); Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air, Document 9284-AN/905 published by the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO); The Internation
37、al Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG-CODE) published by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

40、ciple The capacity is determined by a gravimetric method i.e. by the measurement of the mass of water in the filled drum and its conversion to a capacity. A correction factor (see EN ISO 90-2:1999, 4.1.1.) can be applied according to Table A.1, but only if the weighing scale used is of a higher prec
41、ision than the correction. NOTE For plastics drums the water temperature should not exceed 18C. Table A.1 Correction factors Water temperature C Correction factor (F) 12 1,000 5 14 1,000 8 16 1,001 1 18 1,001 4 A.2 Apparatus Weighing scale, with an accuracy of at least 0,1% of the weight being measu
42、red. A.3 Procedure for determination of total capacity A.3.1 Drill a hole of diameter 5 mm to 10 mm for venting at the highest point of the closed drum. NOTE The position of the hole depends on the profile of the top. A.3.2 Weigh the empty drum and record its mass, m1,in grams. A.3.3 Measure the tem
43、perature of the tap water to be used to fill the drum. A.3.4 Fill the drum 100 % with water through the normal filling closure with all other closures fitted and make sure that the air is vented through the drilled hole. NOTE For certain drums, the drum needs to be inclined or tilted, so that the fi
44、lling hole is at the highest position. A.3.5 Fit and secure the drum closure and remove any surplus water from the outside. A.3.6 Weigh the filled drum and record its mass, m2, in grams. DIN EN 12707:2009-12 EN 12707:2009 (E) 9 A.4 Procedure for determination of brimful capacity Follow the same proc
45、edure as for the determination of total capacity (see A.3) with the exception that no hole is drilled to vent entrapped air. Fill the drum, with the drum in the normal position for filling, until water overflows at the closure. A.5 Expression of results The difference between the mass of the filled
46、drum, m2, and the mass of the empty drum, m1, (m2 m1), if necessary multiplied by the correction factor (F), represents the capacity of the drum as determined by the procedure used.

47、 plastics drums B.1 Principle The absolute drainability and the relative drainability are obtained by determining the mass of water left as a residue in the drum after drainage under gravity. B.2 Apparatus Weighing scale, with an accuracy of at least 2 g. B.3 Determination of drainability using the
48、top section of the drum (procedure A) B.3.1 Cut the top off the drum. B.3.2 Retain the top section and fit the appropriate closure(s). B.3.3 Weigh the top section with closure(s) fitted, and record its mass, m1,in grams. B.3.4 Position the top section, top down, on a test rig so that it is held at t
49、he angle specified by the manufacturer (preferably 0 to 20) with the designated closure opening at its lowest position. B.3.5 Fill the top section with approximately 10 l of tap water. B.3.6 Wait until the water surface has settled and then open the closure. B.3.7 Allow the water to drain for 5 min without moving or shaking the top section and refit the closure. B.3.8 Re-weigh the top section, still in the top dow
