Approximately 44 pounds. Closer estimates for steel drums are; 20 pounds for close top drums typically used for liquids and 23 pounds for open top used with a locking ring. Based upon actual containers that we use, a more realistic estimate would be from 32 to 36 pounds depending on open or closed type drum.
This will depend on whether it is an "open head" or "closed head" drum. An open head weighs 33 lb (15 kg) and a closed head weighs 23 lbf (10.24 kg). An open head has a "full" removable lid which is clamped on, whereas a closed head has 2 small threaded caps to allow for filling/emptying.
It depends whether you mean empty or full, and whether it is made out of steel or nylon. Empty steel drums may weigh from 20-44 pounds, with 32-36 pounds being realistic. Full ones weigh according to not only the empty drum weight, but the weight of the liquid or whatever material is in it.
An empty oil drum usually weighs 100lb-500lb.
AROUND 9.5 KG FOR CLOSE TUP

I looked at some sites* online and found a full drum of crushed fluorescent bulbs can weigh over 500 pounds. I talked to someone who deals with these drums in great quantity and he said each drum filled with crushed fluorescent glass was 450 pounds. So I will tell you, it's safe to say one full drum could way above 450 pounds so be prepared if you need to move one of these things around.
