Volume Formulas:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator computes the volume of rectangular or cylindrical shapes in cubic millimeters (mm³).
Purpose: It helps engineers, designers, and students calculate precise volumes for small-scale objects or components.
The calculator uses different formulas based on shape:
Where:
Explanation: For rectangular shapes, multiply all three dimensions. For cylinders, use πr²h formula.
Details: Accurate volume calculations are essential for material estimation, fluid capacity, and component design in engineering and manufacturing.
Tips:
Q1: When would I need mm³ instead of cm³ or m³?
A: mm³ is useful for small components, precision engineering, and when working with CAD models.
Q2: How do I convert mm³ to other units?
A: 1 cm³ = 1,000 mm³; 1 m³ = 1,000,000,000 mm³
Q3: Does this account for internal voids?
A: No, this calculates total external volume. Subtract void volumes separately if needed.
Q4: What's the precision of this calculator?
A: It calculates to 3 decimal places (0.001 mm³).
Q5: Can I calculate volume for irregular shapes?
A: No, this only handles regular rectangular and cylindrical shapes.
