Partial Volume in a Barrel
Calculate the amount of liquid in a partially filled standing barrel.
This calculator uses centimetres for measurements.
Approximate weight of Fuel or Water
one litre of water = 1 kilogram
one litre of diesel fuel = 0.832 kilogram
one litre of gas = 0.75 kilogram
Calculator
- enter the top diameter of the barrel in centimetres
- the mid diameter in centimetres
- the height of the barrel in centimetres
- the depth of the liquid inside the barrel in centimetres
- the weight of the liquid in kilograms per litre
Results
- the volume of the barrel in cubic centimetres
- the volume of the tank in cubic metres
- the volume of the tank in cubic inches
- the volume of the tank in cubic feet
- the total amount of liquid the tank can hold in litres
- the amount of liquid inside the tank in litres
- the amount of liquid inside the tank in US gallons
- the amount of liquid inside the tank in Imperial gallons
- the amount of liquid inside the tank in cubic metres
- the weight of the liquid inside the tank in kilograms
- the amount of liquid it will take to top up this tank in litres
Formula
V = π((4(T-M)²/5H &sup4;)(H/2)&sup5;-((H/2-d)⊃5)(2M(T-Mi))/(3*H²)((H/2)³)-(H/2-d)³)+(ld(M/2)²)
where V is the volume of liquid in the barrel
Π = 3.14159265
T the top diameter
M the mid diameter
H the height of the barrel
d the fill height of the liquid
