How many pounds is a 30 gallon drum?

Answer 1

The weight of a 30-gallon drum can vary depending on the material it is made of. However, as a general estimate, a standard empty steel drum typically weighs around 30-35 pounds. When filled, the weight can increase significantly, with liquids such as water weighing approximately 8.34 pounds per gallon, resulting in a filled 30-gallon drum weighing around 250-260 pounds.

Answer 2

A 30 gallon drum typically weighs around 20-30 pounds when empty. The weight can vary depending on the material the drum is made of, such as steel or plastic. If the drum is filled with liquid, the weight will obviously increase significantly.

Answer 3

It would convert to about 240 pounds of contents, plus the weight of the drum. Pounds is a unit of mass/weight. Gallons is a liquid measure. They do not convert cleanly. The density of the liquid being measured can make a big difference. If the liquid is water, there is 8 pounds to a gallon.

Answer 4

None, since there can be no conversion.

A pound is a measure of mass. A gallon is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.

Answer 5

30 gal of water weighs 250 pounds. What ever you have in it will determine the weight of the 30 gallon plastic drum.

Answer 6

That depends upon what material it is made out of. Is it aluminum? Rubber? Steel? And on what planet are you? Things are lighter on Mars and heavier on Jupiter.

Answer 7

The weight a 30 gallon trash bag can hold depends on its thickness. However, on average, it can hold about 40 pounds.

Answer 8

30 liters = 7.93 US gallons
