- 1 Choose measurement units and enter the requested dimensions or values.
- 2 Review the quantity or capacity and check the assumptions before ordering materials or selecting equipment.
How the calculation works
For a rectangular tank, length times width times height gives volume. For a cylinder, pi times radius squared times height is used.
Assumptions and limitations
The estimate assumes the dimensions describe usable internal space and the tank is filled to its top. It excludes fittings, freeboard and wall thickness.
