Partial Volume in a Vertical Cylindrical Tank with Hemispherical Heads - Feet
Calculate the volume of a partial filled vertical cylindrical tank or container with hemispherical heads, a vertical capsule.
The vertical capsule tank is a cylinder with hemispherical heads on top and bottom. 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

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
