The drum has a capacity of 55 gallons. We have no way of knowing how many
gallons are actually in it at any particular time. For all we know, it may be empty,
and you may be just trying to trick us.
One gallon of paint weighs approximately 8.33 pounds. Therefore 55 gallons would weigh 458.15 pounds. Factoring in a weight of 25 pounds for the drum, the total would be about 483.15 pounds.
I just created a measure stick for my rain barrel made from a 55 gallon food drum measuring 35.5 inches high. My gal per inch calc is 1.56, so 1 inch equals 1.56 gallons for my barrel. I put interval markings at every 10 gallons so my measurements were as follows: 10 gallons = 6.5" 20 gallons = 12.8" 30 gallons = 19.2" 40 gallons = 25.6" 50 gallons = 32" 55 gallons = 35.5" These are obviousely approximate and estimated for a perfectly tubular barrel, but they are close enough for my purposes.
It depends on what fluid you have. If it's water, it's about 435.9 gallons, depending on temperature. If you have that weight of gasoline, it's be more gallons, because gasoline is relatively light. If it's carbon tetrachloride (a solvent used for cleaning), it'd be fewer gallons. A 55-gallon drum of water weighs 458 pounds plus tare. Fill that same drum with gasoline and it's 336 pounds. Carbon tet and it's 733 pounds, more than twice as much as gasoline. And if it was mercury, it'd be REALLY heavy. Don't drop that drum on your toes!
The ribs add strength to the sides of the drum. They also make the drum easier to roll along the ground.
A standard barrel (Drum) is 55 gallons, therefore if the barrel is full of water it would weigh 440 pounds. An oil barrel is smaller and holds only 40 gallons and weigh apx 280 lbs as petroleum is lighter than water
A 55-gallon drum equates to about 7.35 cubic feet of volume.
1 drum = 55 us gallons 1 us gallon = 128 ounces 128 ounces x 55 us gallons = 7040 ounces 7040 ounces = 1 drum thus, there are 7040 ounces in a 55 gallon drum ;)
A gallon of honey roughly weighs 12lbs so assuming there is 55 gallons- 660lbs
55 gallons
55 Imperial gallons = 250 L55 US gallons = 208.2 L
-- You can put as much or as little as you want to into a 55-gallon drum, as long as you don't exceed 55 gallons. -- A "barrel of oil" is not a 55-gallon drum. It's 35 imperial gallons, which is approximately 42.5 US gallons. (So the price of oil by the barrel is even higher than it sounds.)
55 US liquid gallons equates to 208.197 liters.
4 quarts to a gallon. IF a 55 gallon drum is actually holding 55 gallons, it would be 4x55=220 quarts.
How many bags of concrete does it take to fill upHey
55 US gallons = 242.5 litres, approx.
55 gallons???
Multiply 128 ounces by 55 gallons. There are 128 fluid ounces in a U.S. gallon. Therefore, 55 gallons would contain 6,400 fluid ounces.
