Vertical Cylinder Tank Volume Description

A schematic of a vertical cylinder tank illustrates its basic shape and dimensions. The total volume of such a tank is calculated by multiplying the area of its circular end by its height.

Formula for Total Volume

The area of the circular end, denoted as A, is given by the formula:

A = πr²

Where r represents the radius of the circle. The radius, r, is half of the diameter, d, of the tank.

Thus, the formula for the total volume of the vertical cylinder tank is:

V(tank) = πr²h

Where h is the height of the tank.

Formula for Filled Volume

When the tank is partially filled, the filled volume forms a shorter cylinder with the same radius, r, and diameter, d, but with a height equal to the fill height, denoted as f. Therefore, the formula for the filled volume of the tank is:

V(fill) = πr²f

Where f is the fill height of the tank.
