Round Tank Volume Formula:
| From: | To: |
The Round Water Tank Capacity calculation determines the volume of liquid a cylindrical tank can hold. This is essential for water storage planning, agricultural irrigation systems, and industrial liquid storage applications.
The calculator uses the cylindrical volume formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the volume of a cylinder (πr²h) and converts it from cubic meters to liters by multiplying by 1000.
Details: Accurate tank capacity calculation is crucial for proper water management, determining storage needs, planning irrigation systems, and ensuring adequate water supply for residential, agricultural, or industrial purposes.
Tips: Enter the radius and height of your tank in meters. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will provide the capacity in liters.
Q1: Why multiply by 1000 in the formula?
A: We multiply by 1000 to convert from cubic meters (m³) to liters, as 1 cubic meter equals 1000 liters.
Q2: Can I use different units of measurement?
A: This calculator uses meters for input. If you have measurements in other units, convert them to meters first (1m = 100cm = 1000mm).
Q3: Does this calculation work for partially filled tanks?
A: No, this formula calculates the total capacity of a completely filled cylindrical tank. Different calculations are needed for partially filled tanks.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation for real-world tanks?
A: This provides a theoretical maximum capacity. Actual capacity may vary slightly due to tank construction, internal components, or manufacturing tolerances.
Q5: Can I use this for non-water liquids?
A: Yes, the volume calculation is the same for any liquid. However, the mass/weight will differ based on the liquid's density.
