Suppose, Volume of Drum is V cubic units and Height is h units. Solution: Let, the radius of the drum be r units We know that, Volume of Drum = Area of Circle x Height or, V = (Pi) x r2 x h or, r2 = V / {(Pi) x h} or, r = Square root of [ V / {(Pi) x h} ] Note: You can take the value of Pi equal to 3.14 or 22/7
Radius = Diameter / 2 = 25 cm.
Radius = Diameter/2 = 25 cm.

Volume = 55 gallons = 12,705 cubic inches = 7.3524 cubic feet (rounded)
Not all 55 gallon drums are the same size in height and diameter. To get an accurate check measure the diameter in inches and divide by .5 (this is the radius). Square that number - multiply by pi (3.14) and divide by 231. This will give you the gallons per inch. Good Luck Bob Raymond Bob.Raymond@kelleytech.com
Assuming that it is a cylindrical drum, the volume is pi*r^2*h where r is the radius of the skin and h is the drum's height. This estimate excludes the additional volume required for the tension rods and so on.
To calculate the volume of the drum, use the formula for the volume of a cylinder: V = πr^2h, where r is the radius (half the diameter) and h is the height of the cylinder. The radius (r) is 80cm / 2 = 40cm = 0.4m. Therefore, the volume of the drum is V = π(0.4)^2(1.2) ≈ 0.602 cubic meters.
You need to know the radius/diameter or the height of the drum.
More data is required. I assume the drum has the form of a cylinder; the volume of a cylinder is calculated as pi x radius squared times height. Different combinations of radios and height can give the same volume.
Volume = pi*1.52*3 = 21.206 cubic feet correct to 3 dp
Using symbol "^" for power. The volume of a cylinder is pi x r^2 x h, where r is the radius (half the diameter), and h is the height.
pi*radius2*height = volume in cubic units pi*12.52*48 = 23561.9449 cubic inches
Radius = Diameter / 2 = 25 cm.
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.
To determine the volume of a 24x48 inch drum in gallons, first calculate the volume in cubic inches: the formula for the volume of a cylinder is πr²h. The radius (r) is half of the diameter (24 inches), which is 12 inches. The height (h) is 48 inches, so the volume is π(12²)(48) ≈ 18,095 cubic inches. Since there are 231 cubic inches in a gallon, the drum holds approximately 78.4 gallons of water.
Let's start my noting that 1.0 cubic foot is equal to 7.4805 gallons. Now lets determine the volume of the drum in cubic feet. With a circumference of 4 feet, then the radius = 4/(2pi) = 0.63662 feet. To determine the volume, we find the area of the drum cross section and then multiple by the height. A = pi * r^2 = 3.1415 * 0.63662^2 = 1.273 square feet. Then multiplying by the height, we get V = 1.273 * 6 = 7.639 cubic feet. Since 1.0 cubic foot is equal to 7.4805 gallons, the volume of the drum is 7.4805 * 7.639 = 57.1 gallons
Several dimensions can result in the same volume. Remember that liter is the same as cubic decimeter; 250 liter is equivalent to 0.25 cubic meters. Use the formula for a cylinder; use any value for the radius, then solve for the height.
