Capacity of Water Tanks
Calculation of capacity of circular water tank in liters. Based on the formula: Volume of Cylinder = π R 2 · H Sample calculation. 1) Assume Radius of Circular portion of tank R=0.50 meters(Diameter=1m) 2) Assume height of tank in meters H=1m 3) Cubic Volume of circular portion = π R 2 · H =3.14* 0.50 2 *1 =0.785m 3 4) Capacity In liters We know as per standard 1 m 3 = 1000lites Multiplying 0.785 by 1000 we get 785litres Calculated Values for the capacity of circular tank with different diameters respectively are given below in table Diameter in Meters Capacity in liters per meter depth 1.00 785 1.
