Cylindrical Tank Volume Calculator
Calculate the internal capacity of any round cylindrical tank.
What is a Cylindrical Tank?
A container shaped like a right circular cylinder.
A cylindrical tank is a standard cylindrical container used commonly in industry and agriculture for storing liquids, gases, or bulk materials.
How to Find Cylindrical Tank Volume
You need the internal radius and height.
Cylindrical Tank Volume Formula
The equation for a cylindrical tank.
Where 'r' is the internal radius and 'h' is the internal height.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work for a tank lying on its side?
Yes, if the tank is full. If a horizontal cylindrical tank is only partially full, calculating the volume requires a much more complex formula.
How do I calculate liters from cubic meters?
One cubic meter is exactly equal to 1,000 liters.
What if the tank has rounded ends?
If the tank has domed or hemispherical ends, it is closer to a capsule shape, and you must add the volume of those ends to the cylinder's volume.
Is a standard oil barrel a cylinder?
Most barrels bulge slightly in the middle, making them not perfectly cylindrical, though a cylinder formula gives a decent approximation.
