The Volume of a Spherical Tank calculator computes the volume of substance (liquid or loose granular) in a Spherical Tank spherical container based on the depth of the substance (D) and the size of the spherical container defined by its radius (R).

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (D) The depth of the substance in the tank.  This is often done with a simple measuring stick (dip stick).
• (R) The radius of the tank.

Spherical Tank Volume (V): The Volume (V) is returned in cubic meters.  However, this can be automatically converted to other volume units (e.g. gallons, cubic yards) via the pull-down menu.

#### The Math / Science

The spherical tank volume formula uses the size of the tank, defined by its inner radius (R), and the depth of the contained material (D), to calculate the volume of the contained substance.CONTAINER SHAPES         Conic Cylinder           Capsule Shaped             Box Container               Spherical Tank

##### Volume of a Sphere

This calculator let's the user compute the volume of a portion of the tank by subtracting the sphere cap volume from the volume of the total sphere.

• Volume of a Capsule (Spherocylinder)
• Load Weight of a Capsule (Spherocylinder)
• Total or Partial Volume  of a Box (Rectangular).  For the partial volume, simply use the depth of substance in the container instead of the total depth of the container.
• Total or Partial Load Weight of a Box (Rectangular).  For the weight of a partial load, simply use the depth of substance in the container instead of the total depth of the container.
• Volume of a Spherical Container
• Total or Partial Load Weight of a Spherical Container. For the total load weight, simply indicated the same value for the measure depth (D) of the substance to equal twice the radius (R) of the container.  (See diagram)
