Horizontal On Edge Ellipse Tank Volume and Surface Area - Metres

Calculate the volume and surface area of a horizontal on-edge elliptical tank or container.

The ellipse tank here looks like a squashed circle, and for this type of tank the height measurement has to be larger than the width measurement. 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

Calculator

1. enter the height of the tank in metres
2. the width of the tank in metres
3. the length of the tank in metres
4. the weight of the liquid in kilograms per litre

Results

1. the volume of the tank in cubic metres
2. the volume in cubic centimetres
3. the volume in cubic inches
4. the volume in cubic feet
5. the capacity of the tank in litres
6. the capacity in hectolitres
7. the capacity in US gallons
8. the capacity in Imperial gallons
9. full tank liquid weight based on kilograms/L
10. the surface area of the tank in square metres
11. the surface area in square centimetres
12. the surface area in square inches
13. the surface area in square feet

Formula

volume= ΠHWL/4
where Π = 3.14159265
H is the height of the tank
W the width
L the length
