The Spherocylinder (Capsule) Load Weight calculator computes the weight of the loaded in capsule shaped container, also known as a spherocylinder. 
Capsule or Spherocylinder Container
Common Mean Densities (mD)
1,000 kg/m3 - Pure Water
1,022 kg/m3 - Sea water
1,037 kg/m3 - Milk
860 kg/m3 - Olive Oil
885 kg/m3 - Diesel Fuel
870 - 920 kg/m3 - Crude Oil
890 kg/m3 - Fuel Oil
789 kg/m3 - Ethanol
737 kg/m3 - Gasoline (petrol)
1,442 kg/m3 - Cement Slurry
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (l) - Length
- (d) - Diameter
- (mD) - Density of contents of the capsule.
Capsule Load Weight (W): The calculator returns the load weight in pounds. However, this can be automatically converted to other mass or weight units via the pull-down menu.
The Math / Science
CONTAINER SHAPES
Conic Cylinder
Capsule Shaped
Box Container 
Spherical Tank
The load weight is measure by calculating the volume and then multiplying volume by the mean density of the substance being carried. See diagram

- 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.

- 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)
