Finding the volume of an Elliptical Tank
- V = volume
- L = length
- W = width
- H = height
Formula
V = H x W x 0.7854 x L
- To find the volume in Liters:
- Measure the tank in centimeters and divide the result by 1000.
(EX: 20cm x 10cm x 0.7854 x 30cm = 4712.4cm3) (4712.4cm3 / 1000 = 4.71 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.
