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.
