Egg-Shaped Tank - Three Measurements
This calculator requires three measurements to calculate a tank's volume, capacity and surface area in the shape of an egg. This calculator uses inches for measurements, requiring the diameter at the widest part of the egg shape, plus two height measurements from above and below this point. The measurements needed are in inches.
