Type I safety cans are compact, cylindrical metal units designed for the safe storage of flammable liquids. Eagle is one of the top manufacturers of Type I safety cans, and its products offer many safety features to prevent accidents. First, these cans come equipped with a special-release vent mechanism that permits vapors to escape while they're expanding. This is a crucial buffer in the event of an emergency, as significant quantities of flammable and combustible vapors are forced out of the Type I safety can as soon as heat causes expansion.

Next, they're fitted with a special four-inch spout that features a mesh flame arrestor. Should the stored gas actually catch fire, this mesh flame arrestor will inhibit the spread of the flames and work to prevent an explosion. Eagle Type I safety cans are also constructed from government-approved 24-gauge steel that's been galvanized for extra strength and corrosion resistance.

Industrial companies should have safety cabinets specially designed for the storage of gas and flammable, corrosive industrial chemicals.
