a gallon of water weigh 8.33 pounds,3.785L
We need to know temperature (T) and pressure (P) so we can get an accurate measure of density.
Assuming 1atm and 277.15K (4C) then density = 1000kg/m^3 = 1kg/dm^3
1gallon = 4.55litres
m = density*V = 1*4.55 = 4.55kg
W = mg = 4.55*9.81 = 44.63N
edit: wtf? three TD for giving a decent answer. At least I used the correct units.
weight is a FORCE not a MASS

Drilling fluid engineer.
I think somewhere between 8 and 10 pounds roughly
if you said the amount of litters i could answer
It will be about 10pound
