How to Calculate Hemisphere Volume in Imperial Units

Determine the volume of a hemisphere using radius or diameter in inches or feet. Formula: V = (2/3)πr³.

Example: a hemispherical tank 6 feet in diameter holds about 56.5 ft³ (423 gallons). A small half-sphere bowl 10 inches across holds approximately 1.1 gallons.

Applicable to dome-shaped tanks, hemispherical vessels, and architectural domes.
