  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

Input reference and sample values

Use the units and choices shown for each field. Sample values are provided for practice, not as recommendations.

InputFormat and unitsSample
Internal diameterNumeric value. Unit: m. Must be greater than zero.2
HeightNumeric value. Unit: m. Must be greater than zero.2.5

Result for these sample inputs

7853.98163 L

Select Try the example in the form to load these values and calculate them again. This replaces the current form inputs. Compare the result with the method and worked explanation below.

The method, explained

Capacity = π(diameter/2)² × fill height × 1000 liters.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using internal diameter = 2 m, height = 2.5 m, the result is 7853.98163 L. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

What to keep in mind

A material-quantity estimate, not a structural design or building-code check. Confirm site measurements, supplier coverage and waste before ordering.
