Tank Volume Calculator

Tank Volume Calculator

Using this tank volume calculator, you can effortlessly approximate the volume of your container. You can select from a variety of nine tank shapes, including standard rectangular and cylindrical tanks, as well as capsule and elliptical tanks. It is possible to calculate the volume of a frustum in cone bottom tanks. Simply input the dimensions of your container into this tool, and it will accurately calculate the total volume of the tank for you. You can also specify the fill height, which will be utilized to determine the volume of the liquid present.

Have you ever wondered how it does it? You can find all the necessary formulas by scrolling down. These include the volume of a capsule tank, elliptical tank, and cone bottom tanks (also known as conical tanks), among others.

Are you interested in exploring tanks of varying shapes and sizes for different purposes? Please take a look at our volume calculator, which can help you determine the volume of the most frequently encountered three-dimensional shapes. If you require more specialized calculations, you may find the aquarium calculator and pool volume calculators useful for solving common volume-related issues.

How to use the tank volume calculator?

1. Decide on the shape.
2. Enter the tank dimension.
3. The tank volume calculator has already found the total volume (capcity).

Tank Volume Formula

1. Rectangular Tank
V _rectangular = l x w x h

where,

• l = Length of the Tank
• w = Width of the Tank
• h = Height / Depth of the Tank
2. Vertical Cylindrical Tank
V _{vertical cylindrical} = π x(d/2)²x h

where,

• d = Diameter of the Tank
• h = Height / Depth of the Tank
3. Horizontal Cylindrical Tank
V _{horizontal cylindrical} = π x(d/2)²x l

where,

• d = Diameter of the Tank
• l = Length of the Tank
4. Vertical Capsule Tank
V _{vertical capsule} = (4/3) x π x(d/2)³ + π x(d/2)² x l

where,

• d = Diameter of the Tank
• l = Length of the Cylindrical section
5. Horizontal Capsule Tank
V _{horizontal capsule} = (4/3) x π x(d/2)³ + π x(d/2)² x l

where,

• d = Diameter of the Tank
• l = Length of the Cylindrical section
6. Vertical Elliptical Tank (Oval)
V _elliptical = π xl xb x(h/4)

where,

• l = Length of the Tank
• w = Width of the Tank
• h = Height / Depth of the Tank
7. Horizontal Elliptical Tank (Oval)
V _elliptical = π xl xb x(h/4)

where,

• l = Length of the Tank
• w = Width of the Tank
• h = Height / Depth of the Tank
8. Cone Top
V _{cone top} = (1/3) x π x(h/4) x (d _t² +d _t x d _b +d _b²) +π x d _b²/ 4 x h_cone

where,

• d_t = Top diameter of the Tank
• d_b = Bottom diameter of the Tank
• h = Height of the Cylindrical section
• h_cone = Height of the cone
9. Cone Bottom
V _{cone bottom} = (1/3) x π x (d _t² +d _t x d _b +d _b²) x(h/4) +π x d _t²/ 4 x h_cone

where,

• d_t = Top diameter of the Tank
• d_b = Bottom diameter of the Tank
• h = Height of the Cylindrical section
• h_cone = Height of the cone
