Drum Capacity Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Drum Capacity (DC) is:

\[ DC = \pi r^2 h \]

Where:

Drum Capacity: The maximum amount of laundry, in kilograms, that a washing machine or dryer can handle in a single cycle.
Significance: Important for determining how much laundry you can wash or dry at once, especially for larger households or those who prefer doing larger loads less frequently.

Let's say the radius of the drum (r) is 30 cm and the height of the drum (h) is 50 cm. Using the formula:

\[ DC = \pi \times 30^2 \times 50 \approx 141371.67 \]

So, the Drum Capacity (DC) is approximately 141371.67 cm³.
