------------------

Solution Method:

1. Define standard drum & shipping container dimensions:

The inside dimensions of a standard 40 ft shipping container are:

Length: 40' (12192 mm)

Width: 8' (2438 mm)

Height: 8' 6" (2591 mm)

The outside dimensions of a typical 55 gallon drum are:

Diameter (rim): 23 inches (584 mm)

Height: 34.5 inches (876 mm)

2. Calculate the number of drums that will fit into the container:

Length: 12192mm / 584mm = 20 drums

Width: 2438mm / 584mm = 4 drums

Height: 2591mm / 876mm = 2 drums

20 * 4 * 2 = 160 drums

How many 55 gal drums can fit in a 20 Foot long X 8 foot wide container?

Standard 55 gallon drum measures 22.5 inches in diameter, and 33.5 inches high. You can fit ten in the container lengthwise, four widthwise, and either two or three stacked atop each other (depending on the height of the container.. if you have 110 inches of inside height, it'll be three high). So, if it's three high, you'll be able to fit a total of 120 in a 20 ft. shipping container. This is, of course, assuming that these drums are not on pallets.

It depends on the shape of the drums. Their diameter and their length. Also I presume you mean a shipping container of 40 ft x 8 ft x 8ft. Next you also need to convert the units of measurement to either all metric, or all imperial.
