Discover the capacity of any cylindrical container with our intuitive Cylinder Volume in Gallons Calculator. Perfect for determining the amount of liquid (water, fuel, oil) a tank, drum, or pipe can hold. Simply enter the radius and height, select your units, and get instant results in US liquid gallons.
Formula:
The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylinder, followed by a conversion to US liquid gallons.
- Cylinder Volume (V) in Cubic Units:
V = π × r² × h - Conversion to Gallons:
Volume (Gallons) = V × Conversion_Factor
Where:
π(pi) is approximately 3.14159ris the radius of the cylinder's basehis the height of the cylinder- The
Conversion_Factordepends on the unit of measure forrandh:- If
r, hare in inches:Volume (gallons) = V (in³) / 231(since 1 US liquid gallon = 231 cubic inches) - If
r, hare in feet:Volume (gallons) = V (ft³) × 7.48051948(since 1 cubic foot ≈ 7.48052 US liquid gallons) - If
r, hare in meters:Volume (gallons) = V (m³) × 264.172(since 1 cubic meter ≈ 264.172 US liquid gallons)
