Water Tank Capacity Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Water Tank Capacity:

\[ WTC = \pi \times R^2 \times L \]

Where:

\(WTC\) is the water tank capacity (ft³)
\(R\) is the radius of the tank (ft)
\(L\) is the length of the tank (ft)

To convert cubic feet to gallons, multiply by 7.48052.

Water Tank Capacity Definition

A water tank capacity is defined as the total internal volume of a tank that holds water. The most common unit of measure for the capacity is liquid gallons.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Radius of the Tank = 2 ft
Length of the Tank = 5 ft

Using the formula:

\[ WTC = \pi \times 2^2 \times 5 = 62.83 \text{ cubic feet} \]

Converting to gallons:

\[ 62.83 \times 7.48052 = 469.29 \text{ gallons} \]

The Water Tank Capacity is 62.83 cubic feet or 469.29 gallons.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Radius of the Tank = 3 ft
Length of the Tank = 10 ft

Using the formula:

\[ WTC = \pi \times 3^2 \times 10 = 282.74 \text{ cubic feet} \]

Converting to gallons:

\[ 282.74 \times 7.48052 = 2115.97 \text{ gallons} \]

The Water Tank Capacity is 282.74 cubic feet or 2115.97 gallons.
