How to Calculate Vertical Cone-Bottom Tank Volume in Imperial Units

Determine volume of a vertical tank on a truncated cone base in gallons and cubic feet. Enter dimensions in inches or feet.

Example: a 6-foot diameter tank with 10-foot cylinder and a frustum base tapering to 2 feet over 3 feet holds about 2,800 gallons total. At 8 feet fill, it contains approximately 2,100 gallons.

Common in industrial fermentation, wastewater treatment, and chemical process equipment.
