How to Calculate Horizontal Cylinder Volume in Imperial Units
Determine total and partial volume of horizontal cylindrical tanks in gallons and cubic feet. Enter diameter, length, and fill height in inches or feet.
Example: a 6-foot diameter tank that is 12 feet long holds about 2,527 gallons full. At 2 feet of fill, it contains approximately 518 gallons.
Uses circular segment geometry for accurate partial fill readings. Common for propane tanks, fuel oil tanks, and water cisterns.
