Volume of a cylinder formula
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is height x π x (diameter / 2) 2 , where (diameter / 2) is the radius of the base (d = 2 x r), so another way to write it is height x π x radius 2 . Visual in the figure below:
First, measure the diameter of the base (usually easier than measuring the radius), then measure the height of the cylinder. To do the calculation properly, you must have the two measurements in the same length units. The result from our volume of a cylinder calculator is always in cubic units, based on the input unit: in 3 , ft 3 , yd 3 , cm 3 , m 3 , km 3 , and so on.
How to calculate the volume of a cylinder?
One can think of a cylinder as a series of circles stacked one upon another. The height of the cylinder gives us the depth of stacking, while the area of the base gives us the area of each circular slice. Multiplying the area of the slice by the depth of the stack is an easy way to conceptualize the way for calculating the volume of a cylinder. Since in practical situations it is easier to measure the diameter (of a tube, a round steel bar, a cable, etc.) than it is to measure the radius, and on most technical schemes it is the diameter which is given, our cylinder volume calculator accepts the diameter as an input. If you have the radius instead, just multiply it by two.
Using the formula and doing the calculations by hand can be difficult due to the value of the π constant:
3.14159, which can be hard to work with, so a volume of a cylinder calculator significantly simplifies the task.
Applying the volume formulas is easy provided the cylinder height is known and one of the following is also given: the radius, the diameter, or the area of the base. For example, if the height and area are given to be 5 feet and 20 square feet, the volume is just a multiplication of the two: 5 x 20 = 100 cubic feet.
To calculate volume in liters, measure the dimensions of the object in centimeters, calculate the volume in cubic centimeters, and convert the volume to liters. The project requires a metric ruler. A calculator reduces the time to complete the calculations and the chances of a math error.
- Measure the object
Place the zero mark of a metric ruler on one edge of the object, and read the measurement. The major divisions are each 1 centimeter apart, and the minor divisions are 0.1 centimeter apart. If using a millimeter ruler, labeled ‘mm’ before the first major division, the major divisions are labeled in increments of 10 centimeters. Convert the measurement to centimeters before proceeding.
Calculate volume in cubic centimeters
Use the measurements to determine volume. Use the appropriate formula for the shape of the object. For a rectangular prism, area is the product of the length, width and height. For a cylinder, multiply the square of the radius by pi by the height. Use a pocket calculator to save time when multiplying decimal numbers.
Convert cubic centimeters to liters
There are 1,000 cubic centimeters in a liter. Multiply the volume of the object in cubic centimeters by the conversion factor 1 liter/1000 cubic centimeters. Label the final answer with the unit liters.

How to Calculate Miles per Gallon or Kilometers per Liter
When you calculate miles/gallon (mpg) or kilometers/liter (km/l) you are calculating fuel economy in terms of distance per unit volume or distance/volume. The following outline is generally applicable to both calculations. When you calculate liters per 100 kilometers (l/100km) you are calculating volume per 100 units of distance.
If you track your gas usage you can evaluate your vehicle’s fuel economy. This is how to calculate your mpg or your km/l yourself.
- Fill up your tank with fuel before you start a long trip or the block of time you want to track. For example, you may just want to track your weekly gas usage.
- Record the trip starting odometer reading at the time you fill up.
- At the end of your trip or week, fill up your tank again.
- Record the number of gallons or liters required to fill the tank once again. This is the total number of gallons or liters you used for the trip (or the time period).
- Record the trip ending odometer reading (this might also be the starting reading for your next trip).
- Calculate your actual miles or kilometers
- Ending Odometer Reading minus Starting Odometer Reading equals miles or kilometers traveled
- End – Start = Miles or Kilometers traveled
- Calculate your rate of gas usage ( mpg or km/l )
- Miles driven ÷ gallons used = miles per gallon = mpg
- Kilometers driven ÷ liters used = kilometers per liter = km/l
Gas Rate (or Fuel Rate)
What is it costing you in gas per mile? Enter the price per gallon. Gas rate = price per gallon divided by miles per gallon = price per mile.
What is it costing you in fuel per kilometer? Enter the price per liter. Fuel rate = price per liter divided by kilometers per liter = price per kilometer.
Mileage Rate (or Kilometer Rate)
Enter a price per mile or price per kilometer to calculate the total charge incurred on this trip. This may be helpful for expense, tax deductions or lease-related calculations; in some situations you will be given or allowed a cost per unit mile or kilometer to cover the expense of using a vehicle.
How to Calculate Liters per Kilometers (l/100km)
When you calculate liters per 100 kilometers (l/100km) you are calculating volume per 100 units of distance, or fuel consumption rate.
- Fill up your tank with fuel before you start a long trip or the block of time you want to track.
- Record the trip starting odometer reading at the time you fill up.
- At the end of your trip, fill up your tank again.
- Record the number of liters required to fill the tank. This is the total number of liters you used for the trip.
- Record the trip ending odometer reading (this might also be the starting reading for your next trip).
- Calculate your actual kilometers
- Ending Odometer Reading minus Starting Odometer Reading equals total kilometers
- End – Start = Kilometers
- Calculate your rate of fuel usage (l/100km)
- 100 * liters used ÷ kilometers driven = liters per 100 kilometers = l/100km
Definition – What does Total Calculated Volume (TCV) mean?
Total Calculated Volume, abbreviated as TCV, is the total volume of all petroleum liquids, sediment and water, corrected by the appropriate temperature correction (Ctl) for the observed temperature, API gravity, relative density, and density to a standard temperature such as 60°F or 15°C. It is also the volume corrected by the applicable pressure factor (Cpl) and meter factor and all free water measured at observed temperature and pressure. Total calculated volume is equal to the gross standard volume plus free water volume.
Petropedia explains Total Calculated Volume (TCV)
In order to find out the total calculated volume (TCV) of all petroleum liquids, it is important to first find out the gross standard volume (GSV) of all petroleum liquids, sediment and water as well as the Free Water Volume because the formula for calculating the TCV is:
Total Calculated Volume (TCV) = Gross Standard Volume (GSV) + FW
GSV can be found using the formula, GSV = GOV x CTPL where, GOV is Gross Observed Volume and CTPL is Correction for the Effect of Temperature on a Liquid.
Free water volume (FW) can be found out from the vessel tank capacity tables which are entered with the FW innage or ullage.
TCV for Shore Tanks
Gross Observed Volume (GOV) for shore tanks is given by the following formula:
GOV = [(TOV – FW) x CTSh]±FRA
Where, TOV is Total observed Volume
FW is free water for which adjustments need to be done
CTSh is Correction for the Effect of Temperature on the Steel Shell of the Tank
FRA is Floating Roof Adjustment.
Therefore, put the value of GOV obtained using the above formula in GSV formula to obtain GSV value for Shore Tanks. Once GSV for shore tanks is obtained, TCV for shore tanks can be obtained by putting GSV values in TCV formula.
TCV for Marine Tanks
Gross Observed Volume (GOV) for Marine Vessel tanks is given by the formula below:
GOV = (TOV ± trim or list correction) – FW
Where, FW is free water volume.
Again, put the value of GOV obtained using the above formula in GSV formula to obtain GSV value for Marine Tanks. Once GSV for marine tanks is obtained, TCV for marine tanks can be obtained by putting GSV values in TCV formula.

* Actual fill volumes may differ. Tank volume calculations are based on tank geometries shown below. These tank shapes are calculated assuming exact geometric solid shapes such as cylinders, circles and spheres. Actual water and oil tanks may not be perfect geometric shapes or might have other features not accounted for here so, these calculations should only be considered estimates.
Methods to calculate the volume of tanks and the volume of a liquid inside a tank
The methods below will give you cubic measures such as ft 3 or m 3 depending on your units of measure. If you’re calculating filled tank volume by hand using these methods you can covert cubic feet to gallons, and cubic meters to liters using our Volume Conversion Calculator.
Horizontal Cylinder Tank
Total volume of a cylinder shaped tank is the area, A, of the circular end times the length, l. A = π r 2 where r is the radius which is equal to 1/2 the diameter or d/2. Therefore:
V(tank) = π r 2 l
Calculate the filled volume of a horizontal cylinder tank by first finding the area, A, of a circular segment and multiplying it by the length, l.
Area of the circular segment, the grey shaded area, is A = (1/2)r 2 (θ – sinθ) where θ = 2*arccos(m/r) and θ is in radians. Therefore, V(segment) = (1/2)r 2 (θ – sinθ)l. If the fill height f is less than 1/2 of d then we use the segment created from the filled height and V(fill) = V(segment). However, if the fill height f is greater than 1/2 of d then we use the segment that is created by the empty portion of the tank and subtract it from the total volume to get the filled volume; V(fill) = V(tank) – V(segment).
Vertical Cylinder Tank
Total volume of a cylinder shaped tank is the area, A, of the circular end times the height, h. A = π r 2 where r is the radius which is equal to d/2. Therefore:
V(tank) = π r 2 h
The filled volume of a vertical cylinder tank is just a shorter cylinder with the same radius, r, and diameter, d, but height is now the fill height or f. Therefore:
V(fill) = π r 2 f
Rectangle Tank
Total volume of a rectangular prism shaped tank is length times width times height. Therefore,
V(tank) = lwh
The filled volume of a rectangular tank is just a shorter height with the same length and width. The new height is the fill height or f. Therefore:
V(fill) = lwf
Horizontal Oval Tank
Volume of an oval tank is calculated by finding the area, A, of the end, which is the shape of a stadium, and multiplying it by the length, l. A = π r 2 + 2ra and it can be proven that r = h/2 and a = w – h where w>h must always be true. Therefore:
V(tank) = ( π r 2 + 2ra)l
Volume of fill of a horizontal oval tank is best calculated if we assume it is 2 halves of a cylinder separated by a rectangular tank. We then calculate fill volume of 1) a Horizontal Cylinder Tank where l = l, f = f, and diameter d = h, and 2) a Rectangle Tank where l = l, f = f, and rectangle width w is a = w – h of the oval tank.
V(fill) = V(fill-horizontal-cylinder) + V(fill-rectangle)
Vertical Oval Tank
To calculate volume of an oval tank find the area, A, of the end, which is the shape of a stadium, and multiply it by the length, l. A = π r 2 + 2ra and it can be proven that r = w/2 and a = h – w where h>w must always be true. Therefore:
V(tank) = ( π r 2 + 2ra)l
To calculate fill volume of a vertical oval tank it is best if we assume it is 2 halves of a cylinder separated by a rectangular tank. With r = w/2 = height of the semicircle ends, we can define 3 general fill position areas.
- Fill, f r and f (r+a) and f
We treat a capsule as a sphere of diameter d split in half and separated by a cylinder of diameter d and height a. Where r = d/2.
V(sphere) = (4/3) π r 3 , and
V(cylinder) = π r 2 a, therefore
V(capsule) = π r 2 ((4/3)r + a)
Volume of fill for a horizontal capsule is done by using the circular segment method for the Horizontal Cylinder and, with a similar approach, using calculations of a spherical cap for the sphere section of the tank where,
V(spherical cap) = (1/3) π h 2 (3R – h)
Vertical Capsule Tank
To calculate the volume of a vertical capsule tank treat the capsule as a sphere of diameter d split in half and separated by a cylinder of diameter d and height a. Where r = d/2.
V(capsule) = π r 2 ((4/3)r + a)
To calculate fill volume of a vertical capsule calculate in a fashion similar to the method used for the Vertical Oval Tank where r = d/2 = height of each hemisphere end.

Using the Tank Volume Calculator
This tank calculator is a versatile tool allowing to calculate tank volume (a.k.a. tank capacity), liquid volume, and the volume of the liquid currently in the tank. The calculator is useful in planning tank capacity in construction projects, water purifier plants, oil storage systems, and others.
To use the calculator, simply select the shape of the tank, then fill in the respective dimensions, then click calculate to see the results. You can also enter the height of the liquid currently present in the tank to get an estimate of its volume, liquid volume, and the percentage of the tank capacity currently in use. When filling the dimensions, make sure to use the inner dimensions of the tank. If these are not available, you should make sure to account for the thickness of the tank walls in your volume calculations.
It should be noted that all calculations should be treated as estimates for real-life purposes since they assume certain perfection in the shape of the tank – e.g. a perfect half-sphere for domes and perfect half-cylinders for ovals. Also, real tanks might have tubing or detectors on the inside which might take space not accounted for in the output of this tool.
Supported tank measurements are in mm, cm, dm, meters, inches, feet, and yards. The tank volume calculator will output the volume in cubic meters and cubic feet and used capacity in the same metrics. It will also output liquid maximum volume in litres (liters), US gallons, UK gallons, and BBL (US Oil barrels) and similarly for the liquid volume of the liquid in the tank. It will also output the percentage of the tank capacity in use based on the liquid level (liquid height) entered.
Supported tank shapes
Below is a list of tank shapes supported by the calculator. It contains notes regarding important assumptions and illustrations of the necessary dimensions for volume calculations for each shape:
| Tank shape | Illustration with required dimensions |
|---|---|
| Rectangular tank (rectangular prism) | |
| Horizontal cylinder tank | |
| Horizontal cylinder tank | |
| Horizontal capsule tank (note: calculation presumes each end is half a sphere) | |
| Vertical capsule tank (note: calculation presumes each end is half a sphere) | |
| Vertical elliptical tank (oval tank) (note: calculation presumes each end is half a cylinder) | |
| Vertical elliptical tank (oval tank) (note: calculation presumes each end is half a cylinder) | |
| Cone bottom tank | |
| Cone top tank | |
| Dome top tank (note: calculation presumes the dome is half a sphere) | |
| Dome top cone bottom tank (note: calculation presumes the dome is half a sphere) | |
| Dome top sloped bottom tank (note: calculation presumes the dome is half a sphere) | |
| Sloped bottom tank |
Note that the tool does not differentiate tanks based on their purpose or the liquid they contain. It can be used as a water tank calculator, oil tank calculator, fuel tank calculator, and so on.
For simple tanks such as rectangular prisms or cylinders the calculation is straightforward and exactly the same as the ones used in our cylinder volume and box volume calculators. For complex shapes such as dome tops, cone tops or bottoms, sloped bottom, ovals, and capsules, the tank volume is calculated as a sum of the component simpler shapes.
For example, the volume of a capsule tank is calculated as the sum of a sphere and a cylinder, whereas a cone bottom tank’s capacity is estimated by summing the volume of the cone and the volume of the cylinder. Similarly, a dome top tank’s volume is calculated as the sum as the volume of a half-sphere and a cylinder. The usual volume formulas for these figures are used. Obviously, if using our tank capacity calculator all this work is performed automatically for you.
Calculating the volume of a liquid in a tank
The volume (in m 3 or ft 3 ) and liquid volume (in gallons or litres) of a liquid poured in a tank can be calculated easily assuming the tank is sitting with its bottom perpendicular to the ground surface (it is not tilting) and there is a way to measure the liquid level. If the tank has no visible level meter or gauge and it is safe to open it, its level could be measured by descending a clean and dry rod to the bottom of the tank, then retracting it and measuring the level the liquid reached. Note that this is easier to do with oils compared to water.
The filled volume calculation itself usually consists of adding up parts of the tank volume depending on how high the liquid level is. For example, for a cone bottom tank, if the level is below the cone edge one doesn’t need to consider the cylinder part of the tank at all. For simple tanks such a cylinder tank, one simply needs to replace the tank height with the observed liquid height in the usual volume of a cylinder equation. The resulting filled volume can easily be converted to a percentage of the total tank capacity as calculated by our calculator or as specified by the manufacturer specifications.
Volume of solid object is defined as three dimensional design of how much space it occupies and is defined numerically. Single dimensions and two dimensions shapes like straight line or square, circle, triangle have zero volume in three dimensional space.
Some basic units of volume are Cubic
Inches, Cubic Feet, Quarts, Cubic Yards, Cubic Meters, Gallons, Liters, Cubic Centimeters, Cubic Millimeter etc. SI
unit of volume is Cubic Meters.
The names of the traditional volume
units are the names of standard
containers.
Until the eighteenth century, it was very difficult to measure the capacity of a container accurately in cubic units, so the standard containers were defined by specifying the weight of a particular substance, such as wheat or beer, that they could carry. Thus the gallon, the basic English unit of volume, was originally the volume of eight pounds of wheat.
This custom led to a multiplicity of units, as different commodities were carried in containers of slightly different sizes.
Gallons are always divided into 4 quarts, which are further divided into 2 pints each. For larger volumes of dry commodities, there are 2 gallons in a peck and 4 pecks in a bushel. Larger volumes of liquids were carried in barrels, hogsheads, or other containers whose size in gallons tended to vary with the commodity, with wine units being different from beer and ale units or units for other liquids.
The situation was still confused during the American colonial period, so the Americans were actually simplifying things by selecting just two of the many possible gallons. These two were the gallons that had become most common in British commerce by around 1700. For dry commodities, the Americans were familiar with the Winchester bushel, defined by Parliament in 1696 to be the volume of a cylindrical container 18.5 inches in diameter and 8 inches deep. The corresponding gallon, 1/8 of this bushel, is usually called the corn gallon in England. This corn gallon holds 268.8 cubic inches.

Knowing the volume of a refrigerator can be useful for figuring out how much food it can store compared to other refrigerators. For example, you might want to gauge relative value by comparing how many cubic feet of storage space different models offer. Taking the measurements of refrigerator models allows you to calculate volume. Or you can use the volume estimates provided by the manufacturers, but keep in mind they might include interior space that isn’t necessarily suitable for your needs. For example, an oddly angled refrigerator wall might technically increase interior space, but that won’t help you if you can’t use that space to store the food items you purchase.
Basic Volume
Remove the drawers and shelves from the refrigerator if they will prevent you from measuring the interior.
Measure the height of the main interior compartment of the refrigerator, from top to bottom. Use the same units to measure your dimensions.
Measure the depth of the main interior compartment of the refrigerator, from the foremost edge to the rear wall.
Measure the length of the of the main interior compartment of the refrigerator, from left to right.
Multiply the three numbers together to find the volume of the main interior compartment of the refrigerator. For example, if your measurements are 3 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet, the result would be a volume of 12 cubic feet.
Multiple Compartments
Measure the length, depth and height of the freezer section, if applicable. Multiply these three measurements, as you did for the main refrigerator section, to find the volume of the freezer section.
Measure the length, depth and height of each door compartment, if applicable. Multiply each compartment’s measurements, as you did before, to find the volume of each door compartment.
Add all the volumes together to find the total volume of the unit. For example, add the volumes of the main interior of the refrigerator, the freezer and the door sections.

How to Convert Cubic Inches to Liters
To convert a cubic inch measurement to a liter measurement, multiply the volume by the conversion ratio. One cubic inch is equal to 0.016387 liters, so use this simple formula to convert:
The volume in liters is equal to the cubic inches multiplied by 0.016387.
Cubic inches and liters are both units used to measure volume. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Cubic Inches
A cubic inch is a unit of volume equal to the space consumed by a cube with sides that are one inch in all directions. One cubic inch is equivalent to about 16.387 cubic centimeters or 0.554 fluid ounces. [1]
The cubic inch is a US customary and imperial unit of volume. A cubic inch is sometimes also referred to as a cubic in. Cubic inches can be abbreviated as in³, and are also sometimes abbreviated as cu inch, cu in, or CI. For example, 1 cubic inch can be written as 1 in³, 1 cu inch, 1 cu in, or 1 CI.
Liters
A liter is a unit of volume equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters. [2] The liter is a special name defined for the cubic decimeter and is exactly equal to the volume of one cubic decimeter.
The liter is an SI accepted unit for volume for use with the metric system. A liter is sometimes also referred to as a litre. Liters can be abbreviated as l, and are also sometimes abbreviated as L or ℓ. For example, 1 liter can be written as 1 l, 1 L, or 1 ℓ.

Calculating aquarium volume and water needed
One often needs to calculate the volume of an aquarium in order to determine the amount of water needed to fill it. An aquarium volume calculator is usually consulted as a part of an estimation for the cost of maintaining the aquarium, including the water cost and the cost of appropriate aerators (a.k.a. oxygen pumps, air pumps, oxydators), chemicals, etc. since they all depend on the aquarium’s volume. Calculations for the weight of the water the aquarium will contain are required when deciding where you would like to place it.
In either case the calculation process would be:
- Estimate the volume of water that will fill the aquarium by taking measurements or using the product specifications.
- Convert the volume to litres or gallons, depending on the unit you want the result to be in
- To get the water weight, multiply the volume by its density (in the same units). The density of water is
62.2347 lb/ft 3 (997 kg/m 3 ) at room temperature.
When using this aquarium calculator, you should consider that the depth of the aquarium may not be the whole depth from top to bottom, but only the depth to which it can actually be filled. Some people incorrectly refer to the volume of an aquarium as “aquarium size”. However, “size” would mean the external or internal dimensions of the aquarium, not its volume, although the two are related.
Volume and water calculations for non-rectangular aquariums
In some cases, the aquarium will have an irregular shape, for example the outer walls may be curved instead of straight. In such cases what you want to do is divide it in several rectangular-shaped sections, calculate their volume and water requirements using our calculator then sum them up together.
In case you end up needing to do this for a large number of sections, you might use our summation calculator. Reasonable approximations can be made for slightly irregular shapes by taking the average length or width, but in more complex scenarios and the need for an accurate water estimation you should consult a professional since it will likely require integral calculus.
Knowing your aquarium’s dimensions, volume and water contents are key in determining the appropriate pumps and other equipment, as well as chemical additives needed to maintain the environment as comfortable for the fish as possible and making sure you enjoy the company of your pets for longer.
There are two things you need to know to estimate how much your aquarium will weigh when filled with water:
- the weight of the water in the aquarium
- the weight of the aquarium body itself
Our aquarium volume calculator outputs the weight of the water needed to fill the aquarium fully. To estimate the actual weight of the water in the aquarium you need to consider how full it will be and subtract a proportion of the water weight output from our tool. For example, if you plan to fill it to 90% of its capacity, you can use a percentage decrease calculator to decrease the result from this calcualtor by 100%-90%=10%. Alternatively, simply enter the height of the expected water level instead of the entire aquarium in the calculator.
Then, simply add the weight of the aquarium body (as listed in its manufacturer specifications) and the water weight to get the aquarium weight in filled state.
Liters vs litres
Both “liter” and “litre” refer to the same unit, with “liter” being used in the United States while the conventional name as defined by the international body of standardization is “litre”. Since both refer to the same volume or space, the two names can be used interchangeably.
