What is this Food grade Barrel size? pic

I tried measuring in the tub but....., I thought regular 55 gallon ,but I'm guessing 70? Never saw square barrles, food grade from local meat place. Sausage casings, stunk but 2 gal muric acid,, pictured for scale on top, took care of that!

25 or 30 gallon. It should be embossed somewhere on it. If not dump the seed and start filling the 5 gallon with water.

Add a known quantity of a substance and see how much of the barrel is filled and extrapolate from there.

An actual barrel.

Been on a AR building spree and was thinking rifles.

No one has seen these and knows? No stamping I looked and looked.

Of coarse I can fill it 5 gallons at a time, but I was actually unfilling it and my back gave up after 9 at least 15 more gallons left but I couldn't reach it and lost count, and my 5 gallons were closer to 4 after 40 gallons dumped LOL.

It's square abut 95 % I could measure maybe and do some math...well I can measure.

It's much easier to fill something than bail.

Have any five gallon pails? Fill one with a hose to verified quantity depth, then dump into barrel. Count number of times you do it.

Based on shape, I don't think you're going to get very accurate with measuring dimensions of that barrel.

It almost definitely will have the volume molded into the bottom.
