Volume = 55 gallons = 12,705 cubic inches = 7.3524 cubic feet (rounded)
dia. of a 50 gal drum = 23". circumference = dia. X pi (22/7). circumference is slightly more than 72".
Dimensions are 970mm high by 580mm diameter
4 quarts to a gallon. IF a 55 gallon drum is actually holding 55 gallons, it would be 4x55=220 quarts.
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

The standard industrial oil (or barrel) drum has a capacity of 200-liters. In United States gallons (gal) one barrel holds 55-gal.
A barrel is two 15.5 gal. kegs, a drum contains 55 gallons.
The unit weight of sand/soil is 105 lbs/cu ft1-gallon (dry) is equivalent to 0.156 cu ftSo a 55-gallon drum has a capacity of 55*0.156 = 8.58 cu ftSoil unit weight * drum capacity cu ft = 105*8.58 = 900.9 lbs
Height = 36 inches (3 feet) Diameter = 21 inches
A 55 gallon drum will hold approximately 390 lbs. of corn. If the drum has a funnel installed, may hold as much as 430 lbs.
Weight of 1 US Gallon of water = approx. 8.35 lb x 55 gallons = 459.25 lb
dia. of a 50 gal drum = 23". circumference = dia. X pi (22/7). circumference is slightly more than 72".
