The Volume of a Cylinder calculator computes the volume of a right circular cylinder from the height (h) and radius (r).
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (r) Radius of Cylinder
- (h) Height of Cylinder
Volume of a Cylinder (V): The calculator returns the volume (V) in cubic meters. However, this can be automatically converted to many other volume units (e.g. cubic inches) via the pull-down menu.
The Math
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:
V = π•r²•h
where:
- V is the volume of the cylinder
- r is the Radius of the cylinder .
- h is the Height of the cylinder.

Volume is a three dimensional measurement of the amount of space taken up by an object. 
Volume units are cubic measurements for solid objects such as cubic inches and cubic meters. Fluid objects have separate units such as fluid ounces, gallons, barrel and liters.
The volume of an object can measured by the liquid it displaces or be calculated by measuring its dimensions and applying those dimensions to a formula describing its shape. Many such calculations are available in the following list of calculators.
In many cases, the calculators are for a column with a geometric shaped base and vertical sides. The most basic form is an Area times a Height.
