What is the formula for volume of a tank?
- For the final example, let’s imagine that I have an oval tank which is 7 feet long horizontally.
- The oval face measures 100 cm wide and has a vertical height of 4 feet.
- I want to know how many litres of water I can fill my tank with and what the tank volume is in cubic yards.
How to calculate volume of tank?
We can calculate the volume of the rectangular tank using the following steps:
- Identify the given dimensions as length, breadth, and height of the rectangular tank.
- Now, use the volume of the rectangular tank formula, V = l × b × h to determine its value.
- Represent the obtained answer in cubic units.
How do you calculate tank size?
- Take a look at the collar of the tank. You will see that there is quite a lot of information stamped into the collar.
- Look for WC. This is the water capacity of your tank.
- Multiply your WC by .42 to find out how many pounds of propane your tank will hold. Or just enter it in the calculator.
How do you calculate volume of a tank?
To find the capacity of a rectangular or square tank: Multiply length (L) by width (W) to get area (A). Multiply area by height (H) to get volume (V).
How do I calculate fuel tank capacity?
If you're curious about your fuel tank capacity, here is a simple formula to determine the size of your gas tank in gallons. Simply multiply the length, width, and height (L x W x H) of the gas tank, then divide the total by 231. 231 is the number of cubic inches in one gallon of gasoline.
How do you calculate volume in litres?
The first thing you need to do is multiply the length by the width by the height. That gives the number of cubic millimetres. To calculate the number of litres, you then divide that number by a million.
How do you calculate gallons of water in a tank?
The volume of water tank in cubic feet is equal to the area of tank multiply by their height, such as volume = Area × height, the capacity of water tank in gallons is equal to the volume in cubic feet multiply by 7.5 gallons per cubic feet.
How do you calculate volume?
To find the volume of a box, simply multiply length, width, and height — and you're good to go! For example, if a box is 5×7×2 cm, then the volume of a box is 70 cubic centimeters.
What is the formula of volume?
Whereas the basic formula for the area of a rectangular shape is length × width, the basic formula for volume is length × width × height. How you refer to the different dimensions does not change the calculation: you may, for example, use 'depth' instead of 'height'.
How do you calculate litres of water in a tank?
2) calculate volume of rectangular water tank multiply Length, breadth and their height, as Volume = 2m × 1m × 0.5m = 1m3, 3) you get volume of water rectangular tank it can hold 1 cubic metre, multiply the answer by 1000 as 1×1000= 1000 liters, the result 1000 is rectangular water tank capacity in liters.
How do you calculate litres in a round tank?
Round water tank volume Capacity = 2000 litters, such that volume (V) = 2m3 and diameter of round water tank is 1m, we can calculate its capacity in litres by using formula volume of round water tank (V) = π r2 h, where v is volume, r is radius 1/2 = 0.5m and h is height.
How do you calculate the volume of water to fill a rectangular tank?
The formula of filled volume of the rectangular tank is given as, V(fill) = l × b × f where "l" is the length of the rectangular tank, "b" is the breadth of the rectangular tank, "f" is the height of the level of water filled in the tank and "V(fill)" is the filled volume of the rectangular tank.

What is tank 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.
How to measure liquid level in a tank?
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.
How to calculate fill volume?
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.
How to find the volume of a cylindrical tank?
To calculate the total volume of a cylindrical tank, all we need to know is the cylinder diameter (or radius) and the cylinder height (which may be called length, if it's lying horizontally).
When is it easier to subtract the empty tank part from the volume?
If the cylinder is more than half full then it's easier to subtract the empty tank part from the total volume.
How to find volume of cone bottom tank?
Finding total volume of a cone bottom tank is not so hard - just add the volume of the frustum part to the volume of the cylindrical part:
Tank volume calculator formula
Calculate the volume of liquid your container can hold by entering your dimensions in metric units (centimeters or meters) or imperial units (yards, feet or inches).
How to find the volume of liquid in partially filled tank
Our tank volume calculator also has an option for a tank that is only partially filled.
Example calculations
Let’s say that I have a cylindrical oil tank which measures 7 yards in length and has a round face 5 feet in diameter (the distance across the circular end passing through the central point).
What if my dimensions are in different units?
Looking through our examples, perhaps you noticed that we changed units between feet, centimeters, inches and so on, e.g. in example 2:
