Best Answer

A 55 gallon drum is just a cylinder and, as such, the volume can be determined by the formula ¶r2h (Pi times radius squared times height). According to Wikipedia, standard 55 gallon drums are 22.5 inches in diameter and 33.5 inches high.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/55_gallon_drum

The equation is thus 3.14 * 11.25^2 * 33.5. That comes out to 13313 cubic inches or 7.7 cubic feet.

How many inches for gallon?

Gallons is a liquid measurement and inches is a solid measurement so there is no such thing as inches in a gallon but there is square inches in a gallon which is completely diffrent. Cubic inches measure volume so a gallon would be measured in cubic inches rather than square inches. 231 cubic inches is equal to one gallon. Answer2 The first para in the above answer is confusing because it says "there is square inches in a gallon". Unfortunately, there are NOT square inches in a gallon - they are CUBIC inches (a measure of volume, not area)
