The ribs add strength to the sides of the drum. They also make the drum easier to roll along the ground.
One gallon of paint weighs approximately 8.33 pounds. Therefore 55 gallons would weigh 458.15 pounds. Factoring in a weight of 25 pounds for the drum, the total would be about 483.15 pounds.
The drum has a capacity of 55 gallons. We have no way of knowing how many gallons are actually in it at any particular time. For all we know, it may be empty, and you may be just trying to trick us.
Approximately 44 pounds. Closer estimates for steel drums are; 20 pounds for close top drums typically used for liquids and 23 pounds for open top used with a locking ring. Based upon actual containers that we use, a more realistic estimate would be from 32 to 36 pounds depending on open or closed type drum.
A gallon
I just created a measure stick for my rain barrel made from a 55 gallon food drum measuring 35.5 inches high. My gal per inch calc is 1.56, so 1 inch equals 1.56 gallons for my barrel. I put interval markings at every 10 gallons so my measurements were as follows: 10 gallons = 6.5" 20 gallons = 12.8" 30 gallons = 19.2" 40 gallons = 25.6" 50 gallons = 32" 55 gallons = 35.5" These are obviousely approximate and estimated for a perfectly tubular barrel, but they are close enough for my purposes.
