container standard de 55 galoane


Explanation:
55-gallon drum
A 55-gallon drum (known as a 44-gallon drum in the United Kingdom, and increasingly in Australia as a 200-litre drum) is a cylindrical container drum with a nominal capacity of 55 U.S. gallons, 44 imperial gallons, or 200 litres. The exact capacity varies with wall thickness and other factors. Standard drums are 22.5 inches (572 mm) in diameter and 33.5 inches (850 mm) high (these dimensions yield a total volume of ~218 L)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/55_gallon_drum

Nu este o unitate de masura ci un container cu dimensiuni standard.
Imi cam dau seama de ce il utilizeaza in locul barilului ca e mai usor de calculat exact cate containere iti incap intr-un mijloc de transport ( oricare din ele) insa nu este o unitate de masura standardizata si acceptata ca atare din care cauza cred este esentiala precizarea capacitatii volumice ( 55 galoane)
