Find the capacity of a vertical cylindrical tank — for water storage, fuel, brewing or chemicals.
The math behind it
A cylinder's volume = π × radius² × height.
Multiply cubic feet by 7.48052 for US gallons, or 28.317 for liters.
Worked Example
4 ft diameter, 6 ft tall → π × 2² × 6 = 75.4 ft³ ≈ 564 gallons.
Frequently Asked Questions
What about a horizontal tank?
Horizontal cylinders need a more complex partial-fill formula; this tool assumes a full vertical cylinder.
