Finding the volume of a Spherical Tank

Finding the volume of a Spherical Tank

  • V = volume
  • D3 = diameter cubed

Formula

  • To find the volume in Liters:
    • Measure the tank in centimeters and divide the result by 1000.
      (EX: 20cm x 20cm x 20cm x 0.5236 = 4188.8cm3) (4188.8cm3 / 1000 = 4.19 L)
    • Measure the tank in meters and multiply 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.
