Pick a scenario to see how the calculator works, then adjust the values
Vertical Cylindrical Water Tank
A farm water tank 1.5 m radius, 3 m tall — a common agricultural size.
Key values: r = 1.5 m · h = 3 m · V ≈ 21,206 L
Rectangular Diesel Storage Tank
A 2 m × 1 m × 1 m rectangular steel diesel tank for a generator.
Key values: 2 m × 1 m × 1 m · V = 2,000 L
Determine the exact volume and capacity of your tank, whether it's cylindrical, rectangular, oval, or spherical. Essential for calculating liquid storage (water, fuel, chemicals), planning installations, and managing resources. Enter dimensions and get results in gallons, liters, cubic meters, and more.
