Tank Volume Formula in Litres

Tank Volume Formulas:

\[ V_L = \frac{L \times W \times H}{1000} \text{ (rectangular)} \] \[ V_L = \frac{\pi \times r^2 \times h}{1000} \text{ (cylindrical)} \]

Tank Volume (litres):

Definition: This calculator estimates the volume of liquid a tank can hold in litres based on its dimensions.

Purpose: It helps in determining tank capacity for storage, industrial applications, or home use.

The calculator uses different formulas based on tank shape:

\[ V_L = \frac{L \times W \times H}{1000} \text{ (rectangular)} \] \[ V_L = \frac{\pi \times r^2 \times h}{1000} \text{ (cylindrical)} \]

Where:

Explanation: The calculator converts cubic centimeters to litres (1 litre = 1000 cm³).

Details: Accurate volume calculation ensures proper storage capacity planning, prevents overfilling, and helps in system design.

Tips: Select tank shape, enter dimensions in centimeters. All values must be > 0.

Q1: Why convert to litres from cm³?
A: Litres are a more common unit for liquid volume measurement.

Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides theoretical maximum capacity. Actual usable volume may be less due to tank structure.

Q3: Can I calculate for other units?
A: Convert your measurements to cm first for accurate results.

Q4: Does this account for tank thickness?
A: No, this calculates internal volume. For external dimensions, subtract wall thickness.

Q5: What about irregular shapes?
A: This calculator handles only standard rectangular and cylindrical tanks.
