Partial Volume in a Vertical Semi-Cylinder Tank

Calculate the amount of liquid in a partially filled vertical semi-cylinder tank/container. This shape is a cylinder cut in half along its length.
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

1. enter the diameter of the vertical semi-cylinder tank in inches
2. the height of the tank in inches
3. the depth of the liquid inside the tank in inches
4. the weight of the liquid in pounds per US gallon

Results

1. the volume of the vertical semi-cylinder tank in cubic inches
2. the volume of the tank in cubic feet
3. the volume of the tank in cubic metres
4. the total amount of liquid the tank can hold in US gallons
5. the amount of liquid inside the tank in US gallons
6. the amount of liquid inside the tank in Imperial gallons
7. the amount of liquid inside the tank in litres
8. the amount of liquid inside the tank in cubic feet
9. the weight of the liquid inside the tank based on lbs/gal US
10. the amount of liquid it will take to fill this tank in US gallons

Formula

𝝅r²d/2
where V is the volume
r half the tanks diameter
d the depth of the liquid inside the tank
