Partial Volume in a Barrel - Feet
Calculate the amount of liquid in a partially filled standing barrel.
This calculator uses feet for measurements.
Approximate weight of Fuel or Water
one US gallon of water = 8.34 pounds.
one US gallon of diesel fuel = 7.1 pounds
one US gallon of gas = 6 pounds
Calculator
- enter the top diameter of the barrel in feet and or inches
- the mid diameter in feet and or inches
- the height of the barrel in feet and or inches
- the depth of the liquid inside the tank in feet and or inches
- the weight of the liquid in pounds per US gallon
Results
- the volume of the barrel in cubic feet
- the volume of the barrel in cubic inches
- the volume of the barrel in cubic metres
- the total amount of liquid the barrel can hold in US gallons
- the amount of liquid inside the barrel in US gallons
- the amount of liquid inside the barrel in Imperial gallons
- the amount of liquid inside the barrel in litres
- the amount of liquid inside the barrel in cubic feet
- the weight of the liquid inside the barrel based on lbs/gal US
- the amount of liquid it will take to fill this barrel in US gallons
Formula
V = 𝝅((4(T-M)²/5H ⁴)(H/2)⁵-((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
