Water Volume of IO 160 Gallon Salt buckets
 

Anyone know how much water these pails hold?

reply
 

Approx. 5 gallons

Thanks

(3.14)r²h / 231 = volume in gallons if you measure in inches.

I think the bucket is tapered.....

Get a 4 litre milk jug or similar and use it as a starting point. Those (if I'm thinking of the right one) buckets are usually 3.5 gallons (Imp) the old taller ones were closer to 5.

The taller ones are ~7.75 gallons if full by my calculations.

r(bottom) + r(top) / 2 = r (average) :lol: :lol:

water weighs apx 8lb/gal....weigh it -tare
or 1kg per litre -tare (bucket)
..bathroom scale etc

Yes but the average area is what counts, not the average radius. Therefore it is the square of the radius that would need to be averaged I believe. It is a long time since I have done any calculus.

Tap water is 10/Lbs gallon. the specific gravity is 1.000
5 Imp G=22.73 L
5 Us G = 18.92 L
22.73 L X 1.025 SG(saltwater) = 23.3 kg or 51.36 LBS
18.92 L X 1.025 Sg = 19.4 kg or 42.7 LBS

Then do the tare system Island reefer suggested. Zero the bucket out on a scale then fill it.
Hope it helps :mrgreen:

My references say 8.345404 pounds per gallon....

Look on the bottom of the pail. Often the volume is listed somewhere on them.

must be US gals :mrgreen:

Which space ship is this tank going into?

Yes but if GM built a car that went the speed of light, could someone tell me why or why not it would be a waste of money to put head lights on it :question: :lol:

Wow guys, and I thought I was bad. :lol:

Wow!, was just looking for a ballpark figure :eek:
