Partial Volume in a Horizontal Ellipse Tank - On Edge
Calculate the amount of liquid in a partially filled horizontal elliptical tank/container that sits on its edge. In this shape, the height of the tank is larger than its width. 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
Vertical Elliptical Tank
Calculator
- enter the width of the vertical elliptical tank in inches
- the height of the tank in inches
- the length of the tank in inches
- the depth of the liquid inside the tank in inches
- the weight of the liquid in pounds per US gallon
Results
- the volume of the vertical elliptical tank in cubic inches
- the volume of the tank in cubic feet
- the volume of the tank in cubic metres
- the total amount of liquid the tank can hold in US gallons
- the amount of liquid inside the tank in US gallons
- the amount of liquid inside the tank in Imperial gallons
- the amount of liquid inside the tank in litres
- the amount of liquid inside the tank in cubic feet
- the weight of the liquid inside the tank based on lbs/gal US
- the amount of liquid it will take to fill this tank in US gallons
Formula
L(HW/4)cos-¹(1-2d/H)-(1-2d/H)√4d/H-d²/H²)
where V is the volume of the tank
L the length of the tank
H the height of the tank
W the width of the tank
d the height of the liquid inside the tank
Conversions
one cubic inch (in³) = 0.000578703703703704 cubic feet (ft³) one cubic inch (in³) = 0.000016387064 cubic metres (m³) one cubic inch (in³) = 0.00432900432900432 gallons (gal) US one cubic inch (in³) = 0.00360465014990905 gallons (gal) Imperial one cubic inch (in³) = 0.016387064 litres (L)
