To answer that question, you must first find out exactly how many gallons the barrel holds, then multiply the total gallons by 8.3 pounds which is how heavy a single US. gallon of water weighs. 456.50 pounds
***Keep in mind that not all liquids weigh 8.3 pounds. Example water and quicksand and tar. All liquids, but some solids were added to make them more compact or liquefied.
For example, a barrel holding 55 gallons times 8.3 pounds equals,

A gallon of water weighs 8.35 pounds, figure out how many gallons the barrel holds than weigh an empty barrel.
Let say you barrel hold 55 gallons that would be 8.35x55=459.25 of water plus the weigh of the barrel

Well if you use the given oilfield value for a barrel of fluid that would be 42 gallons times the weight of fresh water which is about 8.45 pounds per gallon, you would come up with an approximate weight of 355 pounds. then add in the approximate weight of the barrel of +/- 20-30 pounds, so a good guess would be +/- 380 pounds.

Common barrel sizes are 42 gallons for oil and 31.5 gallons for beer.
Multiply the size of your barrel by 8.33 lb per gallon for water, and add about 30 lbs for the weight of the barrel.

Depends on the size of the barrel, the weight of the water plus the weight of the wood, and any steel rings and sealants etc, plus the label and maybe a tap or plug.
