How to use this tool
- Enter center-to-tube-center radius, tube radius.
- Select Calculate to view the result.
- Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.
The method, explained
Surface area = 4π² × major radius × tube radius.
Using center-to-tube-center radius = 5 m, tube radius = 1 m, the result is 197.392088 m². Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.
What to keep in mind
Use the indicated units consistently. Ideal shapes are assumed; dimensions must describe the same object. Display rounding does not increase measurement precision.
Common questions
Which inputs does this calculation need?
Find the outer area of a ring torus. Enter center-to-tube-center radius in m, tube radius in m. The filled example is editable and is not a saved personal record.
How should I interpret the result?
Use the indicated units consistently. Ideal shapes are assumed; dimensions must describe the same object. Display rounding does not increase measurement precision.
