Partial Volume in a Barrel
Calculate the amount of liquid in a partially filled standing barrel.
This calculator uses inches 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

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
