Spherical Dome Tank
Calculate the volume, capacity, and surface area of a spherical dome tank. The spherical dome tank is a sphere cap and requires a height measurement and the base length of the tank. 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
