Finding the volume of a Cylindrical Tank
- V = volume
- D = diameter
- L = length
Formula
V = D x D x 0.7854 x L or V = ∏R2L
- To find the volume in Liters:
- Measure the tank in centimeters and divide the result by 1000.
(Example: 10cm x 10cm x 0.7854 x 30cm = 2356.2cm3) (2356.2cm3 / 1000 = 2.36 L) - Measure the tank in meters and multiply by 1000.
- Measure the tank in centimeters and divide the result by 1000.
- To find the volume in US gallons:
- Measure the tank in inches and divide by 231.
- Measure the tank in feet and multiply by 7.48.
