Tank Volume Calculator

Calculate upright cylindrical or rectangular tank capacity and a dip chart from internal dimensions.

Required dimensions must be positive finite numbers no greater than 1,000,000 m. Derived results must be positive, finite and no greater than 9,007,199,254,740,991.

Floating-point results display up to four decimal places; small values use scientific notation. Rounding does not improve accuracy.

Upright tanks only. Use internal dimensions; diameter is not radius. This is full geometric capacity, not usable capacity. Dished ends, sloped bases, freeboard and dead outlet volumes are omitted. A horizontal cylinder has a nonlinear depth-to-volume relation and cannot use this dip chart.

A = πD²/4; A = L × W; V = A × H (m³); V(L) = 1000V(m³); L/mm = A

Enter internal dimensions and calculate.

A QUICK WALKTHROUGH

How to use this tool

  1. Choose the shape and enter internal dimensions in metres.
  2. Calculate, then review or export the 10–100% dip chart.

Formula and units

A = πD²/4; A = L × W; V = A × H (m³); litres = 1000V; L/mm = A; depth = H × fill/100
