The US DOT, per 49 CFR 173.3, also recognizes the T Salvage Drum for shipments within the US. Unlike the original 49 CFR Salvage Drum requirement, the T Salvage Drum is most commonly an 85 US gallon capacity steel drum that, meets UN Model Regulations test requirement 6.1.5.1.11, which specifies that when filled with water, the drum can qualify for Packing Group II and be dropped 1.2 meters 4 feet on its most critical orientation, and not leak. In addition, the drum must successfully pass a 30 kPa Leakproofness Test. Both tests are very severe for an open head steel container.

When unopened, a large drum s contents may be under enormous pressure . If a drum is opened without the proper tools and precautions, the pressure may escape suddenly and violently, causing injury. A drum wrench reduces pressure during the opening process. A drum wrench is a convenient tool for safely opening and removing materials from 55 gallon drums, but they are certainly not the only means of protection from the hazards of said drums. Some drums act as a vacuum with very low internal pressures, increasing the risk of the top popping up soon after opening. Using the drum opener as an opening tool provides no protection from this, yet a simple striking on the top of the drum with the wrench and almost certainly any wikt convex convexing of the top will occur without complication. Procedure Place Drum Wrench prongs into the cap as fitting to size. Turn the wrench slowly, applying force at the end of the handle to maximize force to tightening ratio.
