Jones Barrel Steel Drums
In the drum industry, a CLOSED TOP OR TIGHT HEAD drum refers to the fact that accessibility to the product in the drum is accessed through a bung opening only. Generally this is a 2″ opening in the top of a drum.
A FULL OPEN HEAD, OR OPEN TOP drum, refers to the fact that the drum has a cover on the top of the drum that can be removed and is secured in place with a ring for closure. Depending on the type of drum you are ordering, the ring may be a nut and bolt closure, or a lever lock ring that would snap into place. The covers on these drums may or may not have bungs.
A steel drum may be LINED or UNLINED. A lined drum refers to a coating on the interior of the drum. An unlined drum would be a raw steel interior.
