Use this HTML calculator to calculate the volume of a cylindrical tank with semi-elliptical tank heads (top and bottom). The tool takes the diameter of the tank and the length of the cylindrical section as input. It then calculates the volume of both the cylinder and the elliptical tank heads and adds them together.
Tank Volume & Weight Calculator
Calculates the volume and weight of a cylindrical tank with 2:1 elliptical heads.
Disclaimer: This calculator is provided for informational and estimation purposes only. While efforts have been made to ensure accuracy, the results are based on standard formulas (assuming a cylindrical tank with two 2:1 elliptical heads) and typical material/liquid density data, which may not apply to all specific conditions or scenarios. The calculations do not substitute for professional engineering design, analysis, or judgment.
Calculations assume idealized geometries and do not account for nozzles, manways, internal/external components, weld material, manufacturing tolerances, or variations in material densities. Users are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy and applicability of the results for their intended use.
