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.
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.
4.578 gallons for every inch the water is deep.
Roughly 1 gallon for every 18 inches of hose.
A gallon
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!
A 150-gallon drum contains 0.0036 gallon per cubic inch.
A 55-gallon drum equates to about 7.35 cubic feet of volume.
55 Imperial gallons = 250 L55 US gallons = 208.2 L
One gallon.
1 gallon = 8 pints 2 gallons = 16 pints . . 6 gallons = 48 pints
There are approximately 208.2 liters in a 55 gallon drum.
There are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon. Therefore, a 55 gallon drum would contain 7,040 fluid ounces (128 * 55).
4 quarts to a gallon. IF a 55 gallon drum is actually holding 55 gallons, it would be 4x55=220 quarts.
The volume of a standard drum can vary, but a common size is a 55-gallon drum. To convert gallons to liters, you can use the conversion factor 1 gallon is approximately equal to 3.78541 liters. Therefore, a 55-gallon drum would contain approximately 208 liters (55 gallons x 3.78541 liters/gallon).
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.
Approx 18.18 US gallons. Here's how: 1 US gallon = 231 in³. So we have (14 in)(50 in)(6 in)/(231 in/gallon) = 18.18 gallons.
There are a total of eight pounds in each gallon. By dividing 414 by 8, we find out that a 415 pound drum holds about 51 gallons.
