Water Tank Volume Calculator

Estimate the internal geometric volume of a rectangular or cylindrical tank.

About the Water Tank Volume Calculator

Convert simple tank dimensions into three common capacity units.

How to use it

  1. Choose rectangular or cylindrical shape.
  2. Enter the applicable dimensions using one unit.
  3. Calculate geometric volume.

Formula

Rectangular volume is length times width times height. Cylindrical volume is pi times radius squared times height.

Example

A 2 m by 1.5 m by 1.2 m rectangular tank has a geometric volume of 3.6 m³ or 3,600 liters.

Notes

The result does not subtract wall thickness, freeboard, fittings, internal structures or unusable capacity.
