Industrial Fire Compliance & FAQ:
Q: What are the core fire protection mechanisms of the Justrite 7150100 Type I Safety Can?
A: The Justrite 7150100 safety can features three key safety elements: 1. A built-in 3.5-inch (88.9 mm) stainless steel dual-mesh flame arrester that dissipates heat to stop flashback ignition into internal flammable vapors; 2. A spring-loaded, self-closing leakproof cap that seals volatile vapors inside; 3. Automatic positive-pressure relief venting between 3 and 5 psig (0.2 to 0.35 bar) to protect against container rupture or explosion during fires, reclosing automatically upon cooling.
Q: What is the difference between a Type I and a Type II safety can?
A: A Type I safety can has a single opening that serves for both filling and pouring. It offers a simple, rugged, and cost-effective design ideal for high-volume dispensing or use with an optional poly funnel. A Type II safety can features two separate openings (one dedicated fill port and one flexible metal hose pouring port) with a rear intake vent for smooth, glug-free pouring into small openings.
Q: What liquids are approved for storage in a red safety can? Can kerosene be stored?
A: Per OSHA and NFPA standard color-coding, red safety cans are designated exclusively for NFPA 30 Class I flammable liquids with a flashpoint below 100°F (37.8°C), including gasoline, naphtha, paint thinners, acetone, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), toluene, and benzene. Kerosene typically has a flashpoint above 37.8°C and must strictly be stored in blue safety cans per color-coding safety standards. Yellow is reserved for diesel and green for non-flammable combustibles and waste oils.
