The number of drums that fit in a 40-foot container depends on the size of the drums. Typically, a standard 55-gallon drum has a diameter of about 22 inches. In a 40-foot container, you can generally fit around 160 to 180 standard drums when stacked efficiently, depending on the arrangement and whether they are upright or on their sides. Always consider the weight limitations and any necessary space for securing the load.
How big are the barrels? You are missing the third part of the equation.
To estimate how many golf balls can fit in a 20-foot by 10-foot container, we first need to calculate the container's volume. Assuming a height of 8 feet, the volume is 1,600 cubic feet. A standard golf ball has a diameter of about 1.68 inches, giving it a volume of approximately 2.5 cubic inches. Converting the container's volume to cubic inches (1,600 cubic feet = 27,648,000 cubic inches) and dividing by the volume of a golf ball, roughly 11 million golf balls could fit in the container, though this number would be lower in practice due to packing efficiency.
