A 55-gallon drum can hold approximately 55 gallons of water when empty. This volume is equivalent to about 208 liters. However, the actual volume may vary slightly depending on the drum's design and any internal fittings. Always ensure the drum is clean and suitable for storing water.
The drum should measure 23 inches diameter 36 inches height These are all external measurements.
The displacement of a 55-gallon drum refers to the volume of liquid it can hold, which is approximately 208.2 liters. This measurement indicates the amount of space the drum occupies when filled to its capacity. If you need to calculate the displacement in a different unit or context (e.g., when submerged), please specify.
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.
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.
Height = 36 inches (3 feet) Diameter = 21 inches

Volume = 55 gallons = 12,705 cubic inches = 7.3524 cubic feet (rounded)
The standard industrial oil (or barrel) drum has a capacity of 200-liters. In United States gallons (gal) one barrel holds 55-gal.
Weight of 1 US Gallon of water = approx. 8.35 lb x 55 gallons = 459.25 lb
A barrel is two 15.5 gal. kegs, a drum contains 55 gallons.
A 55-gallon drum can hold approximately 55 gallons of water when empty. This volume is equivalent to about 208 liters. However, the actual volume may vary slightly depending on the drum's design and any internal fittings. Always ensure the drum is clean and suitable for storing water.
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.
