dia. of a 50 gal drum = 23". circumference = dia. X pi (22/7). circumference is slightly more than 72".
The volume of a standard drum can vary, but a common size is a 55-gallon drum. To convert gallons to liters, you can use the conversion factor 1 gallon is approximately equal to 3.78541 liters. Therefore, a 55-gallon drum would contain approximately 208 liters (55 gallons x 3.78541 liters/gallon).
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
