ISO 15750-3:2002(E)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 15750 may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15750-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging.
ISO 15750 consists of the following parts, under the general title Packaging — Steel drums:
— Part 1: Removable head (open head) drums with a minimum total capacity of 208 l, 210 l and 216,5 l
— Part 2: Non-removable head (tight head) drums with a minimum total capacity of 212 l, 216,5 l and 230 l
— Part 3: Inserted flange-type closure systems
Annexes A to C form a normative part of this part of ISO 15750. Annexes D and E are for information only.

ISO 15750-3:2002(E)
3.2
elastomer
macromolecular material which returns rapidly to its initial dimensions and shape after substantial deformation by a
weak stress and release of the stress
[ISO 472:1999]
3.3
thermoplastics
plastics that are capable of being repeatedly softened by heating and hardened by cooling through a temperature
range characteristic of the plastics and, in the softened state, of being repeatedly shaped by flow into articles by
moulding, extrusion or forming
4 Dimensions, materials and finish
4.1 The nominal pitch diameter and the pitch of the thread of the closures G 2 and G 3/4 shall conform to
ISO 228-1.
These closures shall fit GO gauges conforming to ISO 228-2.
4.2 The dimensions and materials of the closure systems shall be in accordance with the relevant annexes for
the closure type, i.e.:
annex A: octagonal base closure system (type A closure);
annex B: serrated base closure system (type B closure);
annex C: octagonal (G 2)/hexagonal (G 3/4) base closure system (type C closure).
4.3 The finish of the flanges, steel plugs, label rings and protection rings shall be electrolytically zinc plated.
If for reasons of compatibility another finish of the closure system is required, the nature of the internal and external
finish should be agreed upon between the purchaser and supplier.
5 Design and construction
5.1 Flanges
The flanges shall be the mechanical inserted type and shall make a leaktight fit when inserted.
5.2 Plugs
The plugs shall be designed so that they can be inserted or removed by means of a simple tool.
The plugs shall have a wrenching insert projection welded to the bottom of the sump of the plug or have a
wrenching device formed as part of the plug.
The dimensions of the wrenching insert shall be such that the plugs can be operated by a universal tool for steel
and plastics plugs. Examples are shown in annex D.
NOTE For recommended closing torques, see annex E.

ISO 15750-3:2002(E)
5.3 Capseals and overseals
Capseals or overseals, when fitted, shall be the manual or pneumatic crimping type and shall have provisions for
customs sealing and evidence of tampering.
Capseals/overseals shall be so designed that they can be removed by means of a simple tool.
5.4 Label rings and protection rings
Label rings and/or protection rings shall be designed so that, when fitted, they can be mechanically inserted
simultaneously with the flanges. Label rings shall have provisions for customs sealing.
NOTE Label rings and/or protection rings can provide adequate reinforcement for the flange insertion and can protect the
drum stock neck against corrosion.
