Canisters & jerrycans

Start from the liquid and how you handle it. Jerrycans, usually from 5 to 30 l with a handle, are easy to carry and pour, such as the economy jerrycan, HDPE, 5 l. Compact canisters stack well and save shelf space, for example the canister, HDPE, 6 l. Wide-mouth drums suit solids and pastes. The volume is in each product title. For collecting waste liquids, see waste containers and canisters. Unsure which format fits your storage? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.

A UN marking shows that the packaging is approved for the transport of dangerous goods; you need it when you ship hazardous liquids, not for storage on the bench. The product title states it, as with the jerrycan, HDPE, UN, 30 l. An electrically conductive canister drains static charge and is chosen where the product page recommends it for flammable liquids, such as the conductive canister, HDPE, UN, 30 l. For solvent waste, see the safety caps and funnels in our range. Questions about your liquid? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.

HDPE is the standard material for canisters: light, unbreakable and suitable for most aqueous liquids and many chemicals, like the jerrycan, HDPE, natural, 3 l. PP is chosen where the product page names it, for example for its temperature behaviour. Stainless steel suits solvents and long-term reuse, and it does not break or age like plastics. Always check the chemical resistance information on the product page against your liquid; we do not complete that table ourselves. Unsure about compatibility? Send your liquid to sales@luminixhealth.com.

The thread size of the canister decides which cap, tap or adapter fits; it is in the product title, so compare it before ordering accessories from bottle accessories. A tamper-evident screw cap shows that a container has not been opened during transport. A tap makes dosing from a standing container easy, as with the jerrycan with handle and stopcock, 20 l. A vent cap lets air in while you drain, so the container does not collapse or glug. Unsure which closure fits your container? Send the product name to sales@luminixhealth.com.

A canister or jerrycan holds litres, not millilitres, and it is shaped to be carried and to pour. The material has to survive the liquid for the whole time the can sits in the store.

A laboratory bottle is a closed container with a stated volume and a neck that takes a cap, a stopper or a dispenser. Borosilicate glass is the choice when the liquid is a solvent, or when the bottle will be heated or autoclaved. Polyethylene and polypropylene are the choice when the bottle must not shatter, or when hydrofluoric acid would attack glass. A narrow mouth pours. A wide mouth is for powders and for reaching the bottom. Laboratory ware of this kind is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware. Traceable volume sits with the BIPM and NIST Physical Measurement.
