24、 The closure system shall incorporate a facility for providing evidence of tampering. 3.5 Materials The drum shall be manufactured from either high density polyethylene or other suitable plastics materials appropriate to the physical and chemical requirements of its intended use. 3.6 Handling Provis
25、ion for manual handling shall be provided. Adaptations for mechanical handling may be added but, if so, their construction should be adequate for normal static and dynamic handling of filled drums. 3.7 Stacking The drum shall be capable of being stacked with or without pallets, according to the manu
26、facturers recommendations. BS EN 12714:2009EN 12714:2009 (E) 6 3.8 Finish The external surface finish shall be 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
27、the drum body is blue. The use of any other colour should be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier. 4 Designation A removable head (open head) drum (OH) manufactured in accordance with this Standard shall be designated in the following manner: Plastics drum OH EN 12714 NC Nominal capacity EX

34、mative) Capacity measurement method for removable head (open head) plastics drums A.1 Principle 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 4.1.1 of EN ISO 90-2:1999) may
35、 be applied according to Table A.1, but only if the weighing scale used is of a higher precision than the correction. NOTE For plastics drums the water temperature should not exceed 18 C. Table A.1 Correction factors Water temperature C Correction factor (F) 12 1,000 5 14 1,000 8 16 1,001 18 1,001 4
36、 A.2 Apparatus Weighing scale, with an accuracy of at least 0,1% of the weight being measured. A.3 Procedure for determination of total capacity A.3.1 For removable head (open head) drums, place the lid, fitted with a closure for filling purposes, on the drum and close it using the recommended metho
37、d. A.3.2 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.3.3 Weigh the empty drum and record its mass, m1, in grams. A.3.4 Measure the temperature of the tap water to be used to fill the dr
38、um. A.3.5 Fill the drum 100 % with water through the filling closure and make sure that air is vented through the drilled hole. NOTE For certain drums, the drum needs to be inclined or tilted, so that the filling hole is at the highest position. A.3.6 Fit and secure the drum closure and remove any s
39、urplus water from the outside. BS EN 12714:2009EN 12714:2009 (E) 9 A.3.7 Weigh the filled drum and record its mass, m2, in grams. A.4 Procedure for determination of brimful capacity Follow the same procedure as for the determination of total capacity (see A.3) with the exception that no hole is dril
40、led 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 drum, m2, and the mass of the empty drum, m1, (m2 - m1), if necessary multiplied by the correction
41、 factor (F), represents the capacity of the drum as determined by the procedure used.
