The base area is represented by a stadium shape, as shown in the image below. To find the tank volume, we must multiply the base area by length. A stadium shape is defined as a rectangle with semicircles at opposite sides. This calculator defines an oval tank as a cylindrical tank with bases in a stadium shape. To find the volume of a rectangular prism, we have to multiply all three dimensions of the tank – width, length, and height: The rectangle is a 2D shape, and the tank is a rectangular prism. This tank shape is widely known as "rectangular tank," however, this is not its official name.
V = π × r² × h = π × (d/2)² × h Rectangular tank (rectangular prism) The formula for the total volume of a vertical cylinder is the same as the formula for the horizontal cylinder, where the length, l, is replaced with the height, h: V = π × r² × l = π × (d/2)² × l Vertical cylinder tank Since r = d/2, the above formula can be re-written as follows: Multiplying that by the length, we will get the total tank volume: If the base is a circle of radius r, its area can be found as πr². To find the volume of a horizontal cylinder, we have to multiply its base area by its length. The symbols for the known dimensions will be demonstrated on the corresponding images for each tank shape. Let's look at the formulas for calculating the total volume of a tank. The filled depth must be greater than or equal to zero. All input values representing dimensions have to be greater than zero. This liquid volume calculator accepts integers, decimals, fractions, and numbers in e-notation as inputs.
The calculator will return the total capacity of a tank and the filled volume. After inserting all values, press "Calculate." Filled depth is the only optional value, all other values must be filled in. If the tank is not full, enter the filled depth. Then input the known values into the corresponding fields. Directions for useįirst, choose the required tank shape from the drop-down menu to use this tank calculator. gallons, imperial gallons, liters, cubic meters, and cubic feet. Horizontal semi-elliptical tank with 2:1 semi-elliptical tank heads.This tank capacity calculator finds the total volume of the given tank and the volume of the liquid in the tank for situations when the tank is not completely full.
