Partial Volume in a Vertical Cylinder Tank with Hemispherical Heads
Calculate the volume of a partial filled vertical cylinder tank with hemispherical heads (capsule).
The vertical capsule tank is a cylinder with hemispherical heads on top and bottom.
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

- the amount of liquid it will take to top up this tank in litres
Formula
Vt = π/12(3D²d-4d³) Vc = π(D/2)²d Vb = π/6(3Dd²-2d³) where Vt is the partial volume in the upper head Vc partial volume of the cylinder Vb the partial volume in the lower head D tank diameter d the fill height of the liquid
