Partial Volume in a Horizontal Cylinder Tank
Calculate the amount of liquid in a partially filled horizontal cylinder tank.
The horizontal cylinder tank here has flat ends. 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
Calculator
- enter the diameter of the horizontal cylinder tank in inches
- the length of the tank in inches
- the depth of the liquid inside the tank in inches
- the weight of the liquid in pounds per US gallon
Results
- the volume of the horizontal cylinder tank in cubic inches
- the volume of the tank in cubic feet
- the volume of the tank in cubic metres
- the total amount of liquid the tank can hold in US gallons
- the amount of liquid inside the tank in US gallons
- the amount of liquid inside the tank in Imperial gallons
- the amount of liquid inside the tank in litres
- the amount of liquid inside the tank in cubic feet
- the weight of the liquid inside the tank based on lbs/gal US
- the amount of liquid it will take to fill this tank in US gallons
Formula
V = L(R²cos-¹((R-d)/R)-(R-d) √2Rd-d²)
where V is the volume of the tank
𝝅 = 3.14159265
R half the tanks' diameter
d the depth of the liquid inside the tank
