Many drums nominally measure just under 880 millimetres (35 in) tall with a diameter just under 610 millimetres (24 in), and have a common nominal volume of 208 litres (55 US gal) whereas the barrel volume of crude oil is 42 US gallons (159 L). In the United States, 25-US-gallon (95-litre) drums are also in common use and have the same height.
A Euro container, also called Eurobox, Euro crate or KLT box (from German: Kleinladungsträger, "small load carrier"), is an industrial stacking container conforming to the VDA 4500 standard. The standard was originally defined by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) for the automotive industry, but was subsequently adopted ...
The most common IBC size 1000L fits on a single pallet of similar dimensions to pallets which hold 4 drums (200L), providing an extra 120L of product in the IBC over drum storage, a 12% increase for the same storage footprint. Additionally, IBCs can be manufactured to a customer's exact requirements in terms of capacity, dimensions, and material.
Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.
The size of a cylindrical drum such as a snare drum, tom or bass drum is commonly expressed as diameter x depth, both in inches. However, this convention is not universally adopted. For example, 14 x 5 is a common snare drum size. However, some manufacturers use the opposite convention, and put the depth first, so they would call this size 5 x 14.
A gas cylinder quad, also known as a gas cylinder bundle, is a group of high pressure cylinders mounted on a transport and storage frame. There are commonly 16 cylinders, each of about 50 litres capacity mounted upright in four rows of four, on a square base with a square plan frame with lifting points on top and may have fork-lift slots in the ...
A table of constants that includes the same approximation of the square root of 2 as YBC 7289 is the tablet YBC 7243. The constant appears on line 10 of the table along with the inscription, "the diagonal of a square". [2] [4] [5] The mathematical significance of this tablet was first recognized by Otto E. Neugebauer and Abraham Sachs in 1945.
Earlier I suggested that "55-gallon drum" might just be a description, not a name, but since then I have discovered the two military specs referenced in the article. Since I now know that "55-gallon drum" is short-hand for a whole set of standardized dimensions, I view it as a name and believe it should be listed first even in an SI-first article.
