Description
Wide neck barrel is a robust HDPE laboratory container with a 55 l working capacity for bulk liquids, media and process materials. The open wide-neck design supports straightforward filling, emptying and cleaning in routine lab and pilot-scale handling. Built from high-density polyethylene, the barrel combines chemical resistance with a practical empty weight of 2,700 kg, making it suitable for repeated transport and storage workflows. Manufacturer marking and UN packaging code UN 1H2/X66/S/./NL/CURTEC 1237 identify the unit for regulated packaging use where this designation applies. Supplied as a single piece from manufacturer CurTec, the drum fits categories covering carboys, canisters and barrels within laboratory vessel ranges. Its geometry suits intermediate bulk holding, temporary staging of aqueous solutions and transfer between preparation and use areas. The HDPE body is intended for general laboratory container duty rather than specialised sterile single-use systems. Use the wide neck when operators need rapid access with scoops, funnels or large-bore tubing. Pair with compatible closures and secondary containment according to local laboratory practice. This 55 l format bridges smaller canisters and larger IBC solutions for flexible volume management.

Questions about Wide neck barrel, HDPE, 55 l, 1 unit(s)
What is this article?
Wide neck barrel, HDPE, 55 l, 1 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes CurTec for laboratory use. It sits in Canisters & jerrycans, inside Bottles & containers, in Labware.
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.
