Cross-Section to Volume Calculator

Formula

To calculate the volume from cross-section (Vc):

\[ \text{Vc} = \text{CSA} \times \text{L} \]

Where:

\(\text{Vc}\) is the Volume From Cross-Section (ft³)
\(\text{CSA}\) is the total cross-sectional area (ft²)
\(\text{L}\) is the length of section (ft)

What is Volume From Cross-Section?

Volume From Cross-Section is the total volume of a section calculated by multiplying the cross-sectional area by the length of the section. It is commonly used in engineering and construction to determine the volume of materials needed or the capacity of a structure.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Cross-Sectional Area (\(\text{CSA}\)) = 50 ft²
Length of Section (\(\text{L}\)) = 10 ft

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Vc} = 50 \times 10 = 500 \text{ ft³} \]

The Volume From Cross-Section is 500 ft³.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Cross-Sectional Area (\(\text{CSA}\)) = 30 ft²
Length of Section (\(\text{L}\)) = 15 ft

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Vc} = 30 \times 15 = 450 \text{ ft³} \]

The Volume From Cross-Section is 450 ft³.
