To calculate the surface area of a 55-gallon drum, we first need to determine the dimensions of the drum. A standard 55-gallon drum typically has a diameter of 22.5 inches and a height of 33.5 inches. The surface area of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula 2πr² + 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder. Plugging in the values for the radius and height of the drum, we can calculate the surface area in square inches.
Multiply 128 ounces by 55 gallons. There are 128 fluid ounces in a U.S. gallon. Therefore, 55 gallons would contain 6,400 fluid ounces.
The drum should measure 23 inches diameter 36 inches height These are all external measurements.
Unknown: 55 gal drum is a volume. This is the amount of volume this drum can hold. Gallon is a liquid measure, so, compounded with the fact that you don't know the mass or weight of the wheat, you don't have a dry measure. Are there air pockets? Is the wheat 100% dry? What is the mass of a given sample of wheat? After you answer these questions, just substitute for weight, and you will have your answer.
You can simplify 33 / 55 to 3 / 5 by dividing both by 11. The ratio is 3/5.
Height = 36 inches (3 feet) Diameter = 21 inches

The standard industrial oil (or barrel) drum has a capacity of 200-liters. In United States gallons (gal) one barrel holds 55-gal.
Gas is 6.3 lbs. per gallon. 55 gallons of gas will weigh 346.5 lbs. A steel drum will weigh 40 lbs. and a plastic 55 gallon drum will weigh 20 lbs.
The only way that I know of to do it accurately is to have the drum standing upright on it's bottom. If you measure the height of the drum in inches and divide 55 by the height it will tell you how many gallons are in it. For instance: If the drum measures 36 inches high then you know that each inch is equal to 1.527 gallons. 55 divided by 36 equals 1.53. If the tape measure reads 5 and 3/4 inches then you would multiply 1.53 times 5.75 (5 3/4). There would be about 8.8 gallons left in the drum. The measurement of 36 inches was just a guess on my part. You will have to measure a drum for yourself. I would go out to the barn and measure one but it's raining and you are the one that wants to know. The standard 55 gal drums are 22.5 inches diameter and 33.5 inches high. I took 33.5 x 1.6417 = 55 gal So with a measurement of 5.75 inches x 1.6417 = 9.44 gals
No, a 55-gallon drum is specifically designed to hold up to 55 gallons of liquid. Overfilling it may cause leaks or damage to the drum.
A 55-gallon drum of water weighs approximately 460 pounds.
You can buy a 55-gallon steel drum at industrial supply stores, hardware stores, online retailers like Amazon, or directly from manufacturers. It's important to check the specifications and intended use of the drum to ensure it meets your needs.
