Embodiments described herein include specialized barrel containers and methods for using the containers to safely transport and dispose of airbag inflators having ammonium-nitrate-based propellant. For example, a container is provided that can hold multiple airbag inflators and withstand up to 4 moles of matter being deployed from an inflator having ammonium-nitrate-based propellant. The container can contain the inflator and any shrapnel associated with the explosion while also venting gases expelled as a result of the explosion. Various container designs are provided, along with methods for using these containers.

An overpack salvage drum including a drum body and a lid. A bottom wall and side wall of the drum body cooperate to define an interior of the drum body. The lid is configured to close an open top of the drum body. The lid includes at least two independent lid threads to engage with corresponding independent drum threads provided on the drum body. The lid includes a plurality of alternating castellations having a flat inner facing side and castellations having an arcuate inner facing side, which can be interdigitated with castellations on another lid when two lids are stacked together, or can be used to lock with a drum body to rotationally secure a drum body relative to the lid when in a stacked arrangement. The lids include lugs and recesses, or rings that allow for secure stacking of the lids.

A bung assembly for closure of a hole in a beverage alcohol barrel comprises an upper flange having a top surface. A straight shaft extends downwardly from the upper flange, and includes a base cap adjacent to the upper flange and a bottom portion opposite the upper flange. A threaded portion extends along the shaft between the base cap and the bottom portion. Barrel assemblies are further provided and include a barrel having a bung hole, and the bung assembly. Methods of sealing a barrel includes steps of providing a barrel including a bung hole, and inserting the bung assembly into the bung hole.

A tamper-indicating assembly for a drum enclosure assembly is provided. The tamper-indicating assembly includes a tamper-indicating device that defines a cavity sized to receive and surround at least a portion of the closure bolt, the first flanged end, and the second flanged end to prevent movement of the closure bolt. A tab extends radially outward from the tamper-indicating device with respect to an axial centerline of the tamper-indicating assembly. The tamper-indicating assembly further includes a pin non-removably coupled to the tamper-indicating device. The pin extends through the tamper-indicating device and across the cavity such that the tamper-indicating device and the pin collectively surround the closure bolt. The exemplary tamper-indicating device described herein includes features that facilitate the robotic application of the tamper-indicating device to a drum enclosure.

A drum for transporting and/or storing batteries, the drum having an internal storage space having a volume, and the drum being provided with a lid to close off the storage space The lid is provided with one or more openings for venting gas from the storage space to the atmosphere. One or more openings have a total surface area of at least 1.0 square centimeter per liter volume of the storage space. On an outside of the lid is at least one sheet of foil which covers a first group of two or more of said openings, in which the sheet of foil is connected to the lid completely around the first group of openings.
