Finding the volume of an Elliptical Tank

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.
  • 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.
