What is the maximum capacity for carboys?

The maximum capacity for carboys is typically 20 gallons. Carboys are large containers used for storing liquids, particularly in chemical and laboratory settings. They are designed to hold significant volumes while maintaining durability and safety. A 20-gallon capacity is a common industry standard, offering a balance between size and manageability.

Carboys larger than this capacity may pose additional handling and safety concerns, including challenges related to weight, stability, and potential chemical reactions. Therefore, 20 gallons is widely accepted as a practical and safe limit for most applications in hazardous materials settings.
