Calculate the amount of liquid in a partially filled horizontal cylinder tank with elliptical heads. This calculator uses feet for measurements.
one US gallon of water = 8.34 pounds. one US gallon of diesel fuel = 7.1 pounds one US gallon of gas = 6 pounds
Include the length of the two flanges in the cylinder length. It is assumed that cap depth h is equal to one quarter of the cylinders diameter.
V=(r²cos-¹((r-d)/R)-(r-d)Square root = √Dd-d² ))L
where V is the patial volume of the cylinder
r half the tanks height
d the depth of the liquid inside the tank
D the height of the tank
L the lenght of the cylinder part thjat includes the flanges of the heads
Vc = 𝝅D⊃3/24;
where Vc is the volume of the elliptical head
D the height of the tank
