How many liters is an iron oil drum?
1 Answers
Generally, the standard oil drum has a capacity of 200 liters. Taking No. 0 diesel with a density of 0.84 as an example, the weight of 200 liters of No. 0 diesel is 168 kilograms. When using a blowtorch to fill the drum, the oil volume should not exceed 3/4 of the drum's capacity. Typically, an oil drum measures about 930 mm in height and 580 mm in diameter, and can be reused multiple times. Additional information: The oil drum was invented by Germans. Before World War II, the German High Command had devised the strategy of blitzkrieg, but this also posed a problem. Due to the rapid advance of attacking forces, logistical supplies couldn't keep up, and thousands of tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks in combat required vast amounts of gasoline. The German High Command foresaw this issue and designed containers specifically for gasoline storage.
