In practice, many tanks are more oval than cylindrical, have rounded or coned ends, are tilted towards
the outlet, en can not be filled to the hilt, because of manholes, agitators or other outlets at the top of
the tank.
Therefore the outcomes of the calculations on this page can only be used for indicative purposes. It
might help you to estimate the content of a tank.
Do not use the outcomes to ascertain the commercial value of the contents of a tank. For trustworthy
measuring of the liquid volume inside a particular tank, the tank must be calibrated by professionals of
the local official calibration authorities.
The calculation tool below makes it easy to determine the maximum volume of a cylinder-shaped
tank. The "Create Dipstick Chart"-button can be used to derive a simple chart, for a quick reference to
the volume of a partially filled round tank, when the fluid depth, and the tank dimensions are known.
Some Theory
Use this calculator for computing the volume of partially-filled horizontal cylinder-shaped tanks. With
horizontal cylinders, volume changes are not linear and in fact are rather complex as the theory above
shows. Fortunately you have this tool to do the work for you.
This calculator can provide a single detailed value of the volume of a partially filled horizontal round
tank. Just insert the tank diameter, the tank length, and the reading on the dip stick, ruler, or measuring
tape.
Horizontal Tank Level Calculator
All dimensions are in meters or feet, volume is in liters or gallons.
The depth of the liquid in the tank, as read on the dipstick, should be filled in at the Liquid Level box.
