1. What is Tank Capacity Calculation?

Tank capacity calculation involves determining the volume of liquid a tank can hold based on its geometric shape and dimensions. The result is typically expressed in liters for practical applications.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses geometric formulas multiplied by 1000 to convert cubic meters to liters:

Where shape formulas are:

• Rectangular: Length × Width × Height
• Cylindrical: π × Radius² × Height
• Spherical: (4/3) × π × Radius³

3. Importance of Tank Volume Calculation

Details: Accurate tank volume calculation is essential for storage planning, liquid management, industrial processes, and ensuring proper capacity for various applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Select the tank shape, enter the required dimensions in meters, and click calculate. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why multiply by 1000?
A: The multiplication converts cubic meters to liters (1 m³ = 1000 liters).

Q2: What units should I use for dimensions?
A: Enter all dimensions in meters for accurate liter calculations.

Q3: Can I calculate partial tank volumes?
A: This calculator provides total capacity. Partial volumes require additional calculations based on fill level.

Q4: Are irregular shapes supported?
A: Currently only standard geometric shapes (rectangular, cylindrical, spherical) are supported.

Q5: How accurate are the calculations?
A: Calculations are mathematically precise based on the provided dimensions and geometric formulas.
