Polypropylene Drum Fill Gauge for 55 Gallon Steel Drums

Polypropylene Drum Fill Gauge for 55 Gallon Steel Drums

If you fill drums by hand, you know how easy it is to overfill or underfill. That costs time. It wastes product. It can even create a mess.

This versatile fill drum gauge helps you get the level right the first time.

It’s made for 55 gallon steel drums with either a 2-inch or 3/4-inch NPS opening. Once installed, you fill your first drum to the exact level you want. Then you mark that level using the built-in reference marker. After that, you simply fill each new drum until the indicator reaches that same mark.

It’s a simple system. But it saves you time and improves consistency.

The gauge is built from FDA-compliant polypropylene. That means it’s safe for many regulated environments and chemical applications. It resists many acids, alkalis, and common industrial liquids. It works best with low-viscosity, non-sticky liquids. If you’re filling thin liquids like water-based chemicals, light oils, or similar fluids, this tool makes the job easier.

The 23-inch length is designed specifically for standard 55 gallon steel drums. You get accurate readings without guessing. The clear level indicator shows you exactly where the liquid sits inside the drum.

A non-threaded 2-inch plastic adapter is included. This adapter allows access for a 1 1/4-inch hose or pipe. That means you can fill and gauge at the same time. No need to remove the gauge to keep filling. That speeds up your workflow and reduces downtime.

If you run a filling line or manually fill multiple drums each day, consistency matters. Even small level differences add up over time. This drum fill gauge helps you control product volume and keep operations smooth.

It weighs only 1 pound, so it’s easy to handle and install. No complicated setup. No complex calibration.

You get repeatable, accurate filling with a simple visual reference.

For warehouses, chemical facilities, and production floors that use 55 gallon steel barrels, this polypropylene drum gauge is a practical solution that pays for itself in saved product and improved efficiency.

Additional Description

When you’re filling multiple drums in a row, small mistakes turn into real losses. Overfilling wastes product. Underfilling causes inventory problems.

With this drum gauge, you remove the guesswork.

Fill the first drum exactly how you want it. Mark the level. Then repeat that level every time. It works especially well for thin liquids that flow easily and don’t stick to the gauge.

The included plastic adapter makes your process smoother. You can run a 1 1/4-inch hose through the opening while the gauge stays in place. That means fewer steps and faster turnaround between drums.

If your operation depends on accurate, repeatable filling of 55 gallon barrels, this tool keeps your process simple and controlled.
