Calculate the amount of liquid inside a partially filled round hopper tank.

This tank's upper part consists of a cylinder with a truncated funnel (cone shape) attached to the bottom.

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 top diameter (A) in inches
2. the cylinder part height (A) in inches
3. the truncated funnel height (B) in inches
4. the bottom diameter (B) in inches
5. the depth of liquid inside the tank in inches
6. the weight of the liquid in pounds per US gallons

Results

1. the volume of the 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

cV =  𝝅(D/2)*H
fV = 1/3𝝅H((T/2)²(B/2)²)
where cV is the volume of the cylinder
fV the volume of the truncated funnel
fV the volume of the funnel
D the diameter
H is the height
T and B the upper and lower diameters of the funnel
