Titan SCR-4 4-Gallon (15 L) Flammable Liquid Safety Cabinet

Overview

The Titan SCR-4 is a UL-listed and FM-approved 4-gallon (15 L) flammable liquid safety cabinet engineered for secure, code-compliant storage of Class I flammable liquids in laboratory, pharmaceutical, and industrial settings. Designed in accordance with NFPA 30 (Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code), OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106, and ANSI Z358.1 standards, the SCR-4 employs double-walled steel construction with a 1.5-inch (38 mm) air gap insulation layer to provide structural integrity and thermal resistance during fire exposure. Its self-closing, three-point latching door system activates automatically at 165 °F (74 °C), while the integrated grounding lug ensures electrostatic discharge (ESD) compliance—critical for preventing ignition sources when dispensing volatile solvents such as acetone, ethanol, or toluene.

Key Features

• Double-walled 18-gauge steel body with 1.5-inch (38 mm) insulating air gap for 10-minute fire resistance rating
• Self-closing, fusible-link-activated door with three-point positive latch system (UL 1275 certified)
• Two adjustable, galvanized steel shelves with 2-inch (51 mm) rear lip to contain spills; load capacity: 25 kg per shelf
• Integrated grounding terminal (M6 threaded stud) with 1.2 m grounding wire and alligator clip for permanent bonding to facility ground
• Leak-proof, 2-inch (51 mm) deep sump base capable of retaining ≥100% of maximum stored volume (15 L)
• High-visibility, bilingual (English/Spanish) hazard warning labels compliant with GHS and OSHA HazCom 2012 requirements
• Powder-coated finish (epoxy-polyester hybrid) resistant to common laboratory solvents and corrosion

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The SCR-4 is rated exclusively for Class I flammable liquids (flash point < 100 °F / 37.8 °C), including but not limited to acetone, methanol, ethyl acetate, diethyl ether, and hexane. It is not intended for oxidizers, corrosives, or compressed gases. The cabinet meets mandatory regulatory benchmarks for North American markets: UL 1275 (Standard for Safety of Flammable Liquid Storage Cabinets), FM Global Approval Standard 6050, and California Fire Code (CFC) Chapter 57. For EU-based operations, it aligns with EN 14470-1:2019 (Fire resistance requirements for safety cabinets storing flammable liquids) when installed per manufacturer instructions and local authority requirements. Documentation includes full test reports, material certifications, and assembly instructions traceable to ISO 9001:2015 quality management systems.

Software & Data Management

As a passive mechanical safety device, the SCR-4 does not incorporate embedded electronics, firmware, or software interfaces. All operational parameters—including fire rating verification, grounding continuity checks, and shelf loading protocols—are governed by physical design and validated through third-party certification testing. Maintenance records, inspection logs, and grounding verification data may be managed externally using laboratory safety management platforms compliant with ISO 45001 and OSHA 1910.1200 recordkeeping requirements. Audit-ready documentation—including certificates of conformance, NFPA 30 installation checklists, and annual inspection templates—is provided digitally upon shipment.

Applications

The SCR-4 serves as a foundational element of laboratory safety infrastructure in environments where small-volume, high-frequency access to flammable reagents is required. Typical use cases include analytical chemistry labs (HPLC solvent storage), QC/QA testing suites (reference standard containment), university teaching laboratories (undergraduate organic synthesis workflows), and pilot-scale R&D facilities handling solvent-based formulations. Its compact footprint (W300 × D350 × H550 mm) enables integration beneath fume hoods or adjacent to dispensing stations without compromising aisle clearance or emergency egress pathways. When deployed in series or alongside secondary containment trays, the SCR-4 supports layered risk mitigation strategies aligned with ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) principles.

FAQ

Does the SCR-4 require external ventilation or ducting?
No. This cabinet is designed for unvented, room-air recirculation operation per NFPA 30 Section 9.5.2. Forced ventilation voids UL/FM certification and compromises fire-resistance performance.
Can the SCR-4 be used for storing pesticides or regulated biocides?
Only if the product’s SDS explicitly classifies it as a Class I flammable liquid. Pesticides with combustible (Class II/III) or reactive classifications require alternative storage solutions.
Is the grounding lug compatible with standard lab grounding rods?
Yes—the M6 threaded terminal accepts standard copper-clad steel grounding rods (ASTM F2577) and meets IEEE 80-2013 low-impedance bonding specifications (< 25 ohms).
What is the recommended inspection frequency per OSHA guidelines?
OSHA 1910.106 mandates visual inspection prior to each shift; formal documented inspections must occur at least monthly, with annual third-party verification recommended for GLP/GMP-regulated facilities.
