Sphere Volume and Surface Area - Metres
Calculate the volume and surface area of a spherical dome tank or container. The spherical dome tank is a sphere cap and requires a height measurement and the base length of the tank. This calculator uses metres for measurements.
Approximate weight of Fuel or Water
one litre of water = 1 kilogram one litre of diesel fuel = 0.832 kilogram one litre of gas = 0.75 kilogram
Note:
The height of the cap can not be more than half the length of the base!
