Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between a gasket and a flange?

A. Under diverse operating situations having varying pressure and temperature ratings, flange gaskets provide a static seal between two flange faces. A gasket creates a seal to keep liquids and gases in place by filling the minuscule crevices and imperfections of the flange faces.

Q. What are the points to consider while transporting steel drums?

A.

• For transportation, the drums must be mounted on pallets and be critical when choosing pallets that can support the weight of the loaded drums.
• The drums shouldn't protrude over the edges of the pallets while being placed on the pallets. They ought to be a perfect fit on the outside.

Q. How do you transport a 16 gallon drum?

A.

• Move your shoulder low & close to the drum.
• When you feel the drum reaching its balancing point, slowly advance while moving your legs.
• Put your hands & shoulder width apart when utilising the drag / pull technique.
• Shift your weight to your back foot while bracing the drum to keep it from slipping.
