Measurement schematic, not to scale. Use your own dimensions and product specification.

Use measurements from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any prefilled values are illustrative.

Where to get this value

Measure this dimension in your plan or on site and use the displayed unit. For irregular shapes, divide the geometry into the supported sections.

BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Dimensions must describe the inside when capacity is the task. Wall thickness and displacement are excluded.

V = π × diameter² × height / 4Calculated with normalised units

A worked example

Illustrative inputs only. Product properties and design dimensions are not recommendations for your project.

Internal diameter
2 m
Internal height
3 m

Cylinder volume: 9.42 m³

Before you purchase

Use dimensions from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any design spacing, section or fixing pattern must already be specified.
