How to Calculate Horizontal Cylinder Tank Volume

Compute total and partial volume of a horizontal cylindrical tank. Enter diameter, length, and current fill height to determine how much liquid is inside.

Example: a horizontal tank 2 m diameter and 4 m long holds 12,566 liters when full. At 0.5 m fill height, it contains approximately 1,724 liters (13.7% full).

Uses the circular segment formula for partial fill calculations. Essential for fuel tanks, water storage, and industrial vessels.
