A standard 55-gallon drum is typically designed to hold pressure up to about 5 to 15 psi for most applications, especially if it is a closed container. However, some drums designed for specific purposes, like pressure testing or chemical storage, can withstand higher pressures, potentially up to 30 psi or more. It's essential to refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the exact pressure rating of a specific drum. Always ensure that the drum is suitable for the intended use to prevent hazards.

How many PSI in a 55 gallon drum?

The pressure (PSI) in a 55-gallon drum can vary widely depending on the contents, temperature, and whether the drum is sealed or vented. Typically, if the drum is filled with a liquid and sealed, it can develop internal pressure due to gas buildup, but specific PSI values would depend on the substance inside. For more accurate measurements, it's best to refer to the material safety data sheet (MSDS) of the substance and use a pressure gauge. Always handle pressurized containers with caution.

What is the psi on the lid of a 55 gallon drum which is pressurized with air to 6 psi?

youve got normal air pressure on the outside ( about 14.7 psi) and inside, then 6 psi above this on the inside ( guage pressure), so the net pressure is 6 psi, the force on the lid = area of lid in square inches * guage pressure A 55 (us) gallon drum has a diameter of 22.5 inches, yielding a surface area of 400 sq. ins. multiply * 6 psi = 2400 lbs. force on the end plates
