How to recognise a DIN keg
By the outside diameter: 363 mm. You can measure that with a folding rule across the shell, without moving the keg. The height then tells you the nominal volume.
DIN kegs are slimmer and correspondingly taller than EURO kegs. In cold rooms with little floor space that is an advantage; when stacking on pallets the higher centre of gravity makes itself felt.
Where the shape reaches its limits
At the same volume, slim shapes have less head space. Under strong heating – summer export without an unbroken cold chain, say – the internal pressure therefore rises faster than in a wider keg. That is not a question of quality but of geometry. We have written down what lies behind it.
In what condition?
We supply every shape factory-new and reconditioned. Technically the two are equivalent – the difference lies in price and availability. What happens in a complete overhaul.
