Standard Specification for Tanks, 5 and 10-Gal (20 and 40-L) Lube Oil Dispensing
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the material, dimensions, and construction of 5 and 10-gal (20 and 40-L) tanks purchased to store and dispense lubricating oils. The tanks are industrial safety cans mounted on a T-bar bracket, complete with drip tray. Internal air pressure test shall be performed on the tank to meet the requirements prescribed. There should be no visible seam leakage when subjected to underwater or soap bubble test.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the material, dimensions, and construction of 5 and 10-gal (20 and 40-L) tanks purchased to store and dispense lubricating oils. The tanks are industrial safety cans mounted on a T-bar bracket, complete with drip tray.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Overview
ASTM F670-02(2022) - Standard Specification for Tanks, 5 and 10-Gal (20 and 40-L) Lube Oil Dispensing provides a comprehensive framework for the material selection, dimensions, construction, and performance characteristics of small-capacity tanks for storing and dispensing lubricating oils. Developed by ASTM International, this standard is widely used in the marine, industrial, and shipping sectors where safe and reliable handling of lubricating oil is essential. The document specifies requirements for tanks typically mounted as industrial safety cans on T-bar brackets and equipped with drip trays for added safety and containment.
Key Topics
- Materials and Construction: This standard specifies the use of robust materials such as 316 stainless steel, terne plate sheet (as a purchase option), mild steel (for mounting columns and drip trays), cast brass (for faucets and drain plugs), and cast aluminum. All construction seams must be welded for durability and safety.
- Dimensional Requirements: The tanks are designed with capacities of 5 gal (20 L) or 10 gal (40 L), and the standard provides recommended nominal dimensions to ensure compatibility with existing mounting systems and operational requirements.
- Mounting and Accessories: Tanks are to be mounted on T-bar brackets and include components such as perforated tray liners, drain plugs, and zinc-plated fasteners. Each tank is provided complete with a drip tray assembly to prevent environmental contamination from leaks or spills.
- Finish and Appearance: The standard mandates a high level of workmanship, requiring smooth, burr-free surfaces to minimize dirt accumulation. Painted surfaces must be coated with a zinc-rich primer with stainless steel tanks left unpainted.
- Testing and Quality Assurance: To ensure safety, each tank undergoes an internal air pressure test to identify seam integrity and must show no leakage when subjected to underwater or soap bubble methods.
- Ordering Guidelines: It covers how to specify tank size, material options, and packaging details when placing an order to ensure that supplied tanks meet precise requirements.
Applications
- Marine Industry: Widely used on ships and offshore platforms for safe, compliant storage and controlled dispensing of lubricating oils.
- Industrial Facilities: Essential in maintenance workshops, factories, and machine rooms where small-volume lube oil dispensing is frequently performed.
- Transportation Sector: Beneficial for vehicle fleets, repair shops, and facilities requiring portable and reliable oil storage and dispensing systems.
- Compliance and Safety: Supports adherence to both safety regulations and marine technology standards by specifying rigorous test methods and robust construction to minimize risk of spills or contamination.
Employing tanks built to ASTM F670-02(2022) ensures compatibility with international best practices, supports regulatory compliance, and promotes the safe, effective handling of lubricating oils in demanding applications.
