How to Calculate Barrel Volume

This calculator determines the volume of a barrel (cylindrical or curved-side container) in metric units. Enter the barrel height and diameter to compute its water capacity in liters and cubic meters.

Example: a standard rain barrel with height 90 cm and diameter 60 cm holds approximately 254 liters. A wine barrel (barrique) with bulge diameter 70 cm, end diameter 56 cm, and height 95 cm holds about 225 liters.

The calculator supports both straight-sided (cylindrical) and traditional curved-side barrel shapes. Results include volume in mL, L, and m³.
