A 2 m Ø × 3 m tall tank holds 9.4 m³ ≈ 9,425 L. Level is linear with volume — unlike horizontal tanks.

Formula

V = (π·D²/4)·h

Frequently asked questions

What formula does the Vertical Cylindrical Tank Volume Calculator use?+

It computes V = (π·D²/4)·h, per IS 3370 / AWWA D100 (tank standards). The formula is displayed under the result along with a worked example substituted with your own inputs.

What should I keep in mind when using this calculator?+

A 2 m Ø × 3 m tall tank holds 9.4 m³ ≈ 9,425 L. Level is linear with volume — unlike horizontal tanks.

Does this work for any fluid?+

Yes — density and viscosity are inputs (with common fluids suggested in the field hints), so the same physics applies to water, oils, gases and process fluids. Compute always runs in SI internally, so unit mix-ups can't corrupt the result.

Is the Vertical Cylindrical Tank Volume Calculator free to use?+

Yes — completely free, no sign-up, no limits. It runs client-side in your browser, so inputs stay private and results are instant even on slow connections.
