An encyclopedia could teach you what the words you are using actually mean. There is only one WWW. --BjKa (talk) 21:41, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

colour

As far as I know, red is for hazardous media, blue for non poisonous. There must be a list, but I could not find it.
I was told that black meant it was poison and that green was food grade. I would like to see a definitive list as well, and wonder if this is regulated by the DOT? All I could find was numbers having to do with composition of the container (US 49CFR 178.700). Bayer uses red and blue for certain chemicals.

No. While certain companies may follow this pattern the wide ranger of users and reusers of IBCs mean that the contents can be pretty much anything. Geni (talk) 19:39, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

History

German newspaper FAZ says the IBC was invented by Udo Schütz in 1975. Source: http://www.faz.net/aktuell/technik-motor/umwelt-technik/ibc-container-zum-wegwerfen-viel-zu-schade-13308183.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.224.106.80 (talk) 21:33, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Patents mentioned: I suppose "Dow Corning S.A." means the Dow Corning Corporation and have linked it accordingly. "Hoover Group, Inc." is a tougher cookie. I can guess that it means The Hoover Company, but I rather linked it to the disambiguation page. This should be rectified by someone in the know or willing to dig out the facts. (If you read the patents, the adresses of the inventor and/or his company usually provide adequate clues.) --BjKa (talk) 21:41, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Bungs and Other Openings Sizes

It would be good to see a mention of any access port sizes. Are there any standards of threads or sizings? KitchM (talk) 01:42, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Would be great if anyone could measure and add the height of an IBC. Tnx! 5.132.114.214 (talk) 19:30, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
