Partial Volume in an Vertical Ellipse Cylinder Tank
Calculate the amount of liquid in a partially filled vertical elliptical cylinder tank.
This shape of tank/container is like a vertical cylinder, but instead of having a circular base and top, they are in the shape of an ellipse. 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
Elliptical Cylinder Tank
Calculator
- enter the diameter A length in inches
