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.
The ribs add strength to the sides of the drum. They also make the drum easier to roll along the ground.
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.
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.
Approximately 44 pounds. Closer estimates for steel drums are; 20 pounds for close top drums typically used for liquids and 23 pounds for open top used with a locking ring. Based upon actual containers that we use, a more realistic estimate would be from 32 to 36 pounds depending on open or closed type drum.
265 lbs of uncrushed oil filters in a 55 gallon drum.
one gallon= 5 quarts 55 gallon= 5x55=275 answer 275 quarts
4 quarts to a gallon. IF a 55 gallon drum is actually holding 55 gallons, it would be 4x55=220 quarts.
V=(πD2/4)h where D is the diameter of the 55 gallon drum and h is the height of the oil. Or if you prefer V=(2πr2h where r is the radius of the drum and h is as above.
they can be 'made' from the top section of a 55 gallon oil drum
The weight of oil in a drum can vary depending on the type of oil and the size of the drum. However, a standard 55-gallon drum of oil typically weighs around 200-250 kilograms.
Leaving room in the drum allows for expansion of the crude oil caused by fluctuations in temperature during shipment and storage. This extra volume prevents spills and ensures safety during transport.
55 gallons
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).
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.
The unit weight of sand/soil is 105 lbs/cu ft1-gallon (dry) is equivalent to 0.156 cu ftSo a 55-gallon drum has a capacity of 55*0.156 = 8.58 cu ftSoil unit weight * drum capacity cu ft = 105*8.58 = 900.9 lbs
