How to Calculate Horizontal Hemispheric Tank Volume

Compute volume of a horizontal cylindrical tank capped with hemispherical ends. Enter diameter, straight barrel length, and current fill level.

Example: a tank with 1.2 m diameter, 2 m barrel length, and hemispherical ends holds about 3,166 liters total. At 0.4 m fill, it contains approximately 580 liters.

Hemispherical ends are common on pressure vessels, LPG tanks, and industrial chemical storage tanks.
