One gallon of water weighs approximately 8.34 pounds, so 55 gallons would weigh around 459.7 pounds.
The amount of salt in a barrel can vary depending on the size of the barrel and the type of salt. On average, a standard 55-gallon barrel could hold between 300-400 pounds of salt.
A gallon of cement typically weighs around 12.5 pounds, so 5 gallons of cement would weigh around 62.5 pounds.
There are about 31.7 gallons in a ton of gasoline. This conversion may vary slightly depending on the specific gravity and temperature of the gasoline.
To convert pounds of LPG to gallons, you need to know the specific gravity of the LPG. Once you have the specific gravity, divide the number of pounds by the specific gravity to get the equivalent volume in gallons.
How many pounds of what? You are mixing measurements. Gallons measure volume while pounds measures weight. A gallon of water weights less than a gallon of mercury, but more than a gallon of oil.
Water weighs about 8.34 pounds per gallon. So, 40 gallons of water would weigh approximately 334.4 pounds.
A gallon of honey weights about 12 pounds. 50 pounds of honey is about 4.2 gallons. Of course, the actual amount will depend on the type of honey, since density can vary.
The weight of 10 gallons will vary depending on what substance is being measured. For water, 10 gallons would weigh about 83.3 pounds. Other substances will have different weights per gallon.
The barrel itself weighs 20 pounds. 10 gallons of water, therefore, weights 103.4 minus the weight of the barrel itself. 103.4-20 = 83.4 20 is twice as much as ten, so 83.4 * 2 = 166.8 pounds. If we add the barrel back in, we have a total weight of 166.8 + 20 = 186.8
Ammonia weights 5.15 pounds per gallon in contrast to water which weights 8.33 pounds per gallon.
The contents of a barrel of crude oil comprises 42 gallons. One gallon of crude oil weighs about seven pounds. So, 42 x 7 = 294 pounds per barrel.
A barrel of oil contains 42 gallons. A gallon of light crude oil weighs approximately 7.27 pounds. Heavy crude oil weighs 7.61 pounds per gallon. Therefore a barrel of light crude oil weighs 305.34 pounds + the weight of the barrel. Heavy crude would weigh 319.62 pounds + the weight of the barrel.
20 pounds/5 gallons = 4 pounds/1 gallon or 4 pounds per gallon.
The weight of a barrel of oil will depend on its density. A barrel contains 42 gallons and density is typically measured in units of API gravity. Units can be a bit confusing in this case. We need to convert from API density to pounds per gallon. Crude oil can typically vary from 15 to 45 deg API although I have worked with oils as low as 8 and as high as 50. Let us consider oil gravity of 30 deg API, as all other densities are calculated in the same way. Specific Gravity = 141.5/(131.5 + 30) = 0.876 The specific gravity is the density of the oil relative to water. Now, to convert this to pounds per gallon, we must multiply the answer by 8.34 (density of water is 8.33 pounds per gallon): 8.34 x 0.876 = 7.30 pounds/gallon. Since there are 42 gallons in a barrel, we must multiply this answer by 42: 42 x 7.30 = 307 pounds. To summarize, a) convert API to specific density b) convert specific density to pounds per gallon and c) multiply gallons in one barrel by the pounds per gallon.
To find the total weight of the fluid, first calculate the weight of one barrel of fluid: 1 barrel of fluid weighs 19.2 pounds per gallon (ppg) 1 barrel contains 42 gallons (standard for oil barrels) So, 1 barrel weighs 19.2 x 42 = 806.4 pounds To find the total weight of 100 barrels, multiply the weight of one barrel (806.4 pounds) by 100: 806.4 pounds/barrel x 100 barrels = 80640 pounds Therefore, the weight of 100 barrels of 19.2ppg fluid is 80640 pounds.
A 55 gallon barrel can hold approximately 400-500 pounds of cracked corn, depending on the density of the corn.
