1. What is a Tank Volume Calculator Table?

Definition: This calculator generates a table showing how tank volume changes with incremental dimension changes.

Purpose: Helps engineers, designers, and tank operators understand volume variations with dimension changes.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses these formulas:

Where:

• \( V \) — Volume (cubic units)
• \( L \) — Length (rectangular tank)
• \( W \) — Width (rectangular tank)
• \( H \) — Height (both tank types)
• \( r \) — Radius (cylindrical tank)

Explanation: The calculator takes your base dimensions and generates a table showing volumes with incremental changes.

3. Importance of Tank Volume Calculation

Details: Accurate volume calculations are essential for capacity planning, material storage, and process design.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips:

1. Select tank shape (rectangular or cylindrical)
2. Enter base dimensions
3. Set increment value and number of steps
4. View the generated table showing volume changes

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What units should I use?
A: Use any consistent unit (meters, feet, inches). The calculator maintains unit consistency.

Q2: How does the increment work?
A: Each step adds the increment value to all dimensions (e.g., 1.0 unit per step).

Q3: Can I use different increments for different dimensions?
A: Not in this version. All dimensions increase by the same increment.

Q4: What's the maximum number of steps?
A: Limited to 20 steps for performance and readability.

Q5: How accurate are the calculations?
A: Very accurate, using PHP's floating-point arithmetic with 3 decimal places.
