How to calculate cylinder tank capacity

This tool calculates cylinder tank capacity from Internal radius (cm), Water depth (cm). Enter each quantity in its labelled field, then use the formula below to check the calculation.

Formula

π × radius² × water depth ÷ 1000

Worked example

Internal radius (cm)

30

Water depth (cm)

100

Applying the formula to these values gives 282.743338823 litres.
