Drum sizes

The measurements of standard cable drums are presented in the table below.

Wood is a natural material, and its weight can flunctuate for example because of humidity. Please notice that the drum weights in the table are estimates, and the presented weights are possible only when the volume of wood mass is 420 kg/m³ and the humidity of wood is 20%. If wood is dryer or wetter, it will also change the weight of the drum.

Measurements in the table are millimetres, weights in kilograms.
