1. What is Tank Volume Calculation?

Tank volume calculation determines the capacity of a tank in litres based on its shape and dimensions. This is essential for storage planning, liquid management, and industrial applications.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses different equations based on tank shape:

For rectangular tanks: \[ V = length \times width \times height \times 1000 \] For cylindrical tanks: \[ V = \pi \times radius^2 \times height \times 1000 \]

Where:

All dimensions are in meters
Result is converted to litres (1 m³ = 1000 litres)

3. Importance of Tank Volume Calculation

Details: Accurate volume calculation is crucial for storage capacity planning, liquid inventory management, and industrial process control.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Select tank shape, enter all required dimensions in meters. For cylindrical tanks, enter diameter as parameter 1 and height as parameter 2.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What units should I use for measurements?
A: The calculator expects all dimensions in meters. Convert from other units before entering.

Q2: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides theoretical volume based on perfect geometric shapes. Actual capacity may vary slightly.

Q3: Can I calculate volume for irregular shapes?
A: This calculator only handles standard shapes. For irregular tanks, specialized methods are needed.

Q4: Why multiply by 1000?
A: The conversion factor from cubic meters to litres (1 m³ = 1000 litres).

Q5: Can this be used for US gallons?
A: The result is in litres. For US gallons, divide the result by 3.785.
