1000-litre cylinder: tank dimensions

A diameter of 1 m and a height of 1.27 m give about 1000 l. The calculator computes the volume of a vertical tank from its diameter and height and shows how much liquid it holds at a given level.

Frequently asked questions

How to calculate the volume of a cylindrical tank in litres?
V = π × d² / 4 × h, where d and h are in metres; multiply the result in m³ by 1000 to get litres.

The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
