Drum bursting hazard - readers innovation


In my earlier post , I had mentioned an incident on the dangers of pesticide technical drums bursting when placed in a hot box or steam heated bath. A couple of readers Mr P.Kadhiravan and Mr P.Thulasiraman of Coromandel International Limited have devised a simple pressure relief system for the technical drums which they place in a steam bath for melting. Their pressure relief device is screwed on to the drum in the bung area after removing the drum cap. A photo of their innovation is shown. Kudos to them! And thanks to them for sharing this information.
