There are things and tips to note when you are buying and using flammable safety cabinets for storing flammable items in your lab. Today, we have members of Kewaunee speak to us on the topic of storage of flammable chemicals and liquids.

Chief safety officer explained, “Note that, you should not keep over two or three cabinets together where there is an explosive or flammable chemical involved or stored. Otherwise, it can lead to congestion or combustion in the air, despite the HVAC exhaust working on their own to clear the air from the flammable chemical’s vicinity.”

There are different types and classes of flammable liquids. Each one of them has various flashpoints. As a lab operator, scientist, experimenter, or researchers of these agents, know these flashpoints.

“Match the flashpoints degree of each agent with the type of container you can have from suppliers like ours. For instance, Class IA flammable content would be best stored in safety cans for 2 gallons. Whereas the same container can store 5 gallons of Class IB flammable liquid. Glass or plastic can would be best to store only one pint of Class IA flammable liquids. These are some minor and really important things you should note before ordering or using the chemical storage cabinets.” This was the detailed information on flammable liquid storage tips by one of the senior managers at Kewaunee.in.

You must read the proper NHPA, OSHA, and UFC guidelines. These will help you in using the safety & storage cabinets for storing explosive and even combustible agents.

“For instance, the storage cabinets must have at least no. 18 gm. Steel sheet from every corner as per these guidelines. Every storage cabinet for storing flammable elements must have a three-point latch. And verify that each cabinet has a similar sign like ‘Flammable content inside – keep the fire away.’ There is no fixed strategy or rule for that sign.” This was another guidance from another manager working at Kewaunee.in.
