Bitumen is a thick, very viscous petroleum substance that is transported and stored in specialized containers called bitumen drums. These drums are frequently utilized in a range of infrastructure and construction projects, such as industrial applications, road paving, roofing, and waterproofing. They are made to make sure that bitumen is handled safely and effectively, especially when controlling elements like viscosity and high temperatures are involved.
The building and infrastructure development industries have a significant influence on the need for bitumen barrels. Numerous things influence it, such as the state of the economy, governmental regulations, environmental concerns, and technology breakthroughs. It is anticipated that the demand for bitumen drums in a variety of applications will be impacted by the ongoing expansion of infrastructure and construction projects as well as changing industry practices.
Under IS 3575:1993 all bitumen barrels are covered by the required ISI Certification Scheme.
The requirements for steel barrels with fixed ends and nominal capacity of 160 and 200 liters are covered by this standard. These drums are used to pack bitumen with penetration values of 225 and below.
High-quality steel must be utilized to build bitumen storage barrels in order to prevent leaks and spills during transportation.
Without the ISI Mark, this product cannot be marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
