How to calculate the capacity of water tank in circular tank
To calculate the capacity of water in a circular tank in Liters, you can follow these steps:
1.
Measure the Radius (r):
Determine the
radius of the tank.
This is the
distance from the centre of the tank to the inner edge of the circular wall.
2.
Measure the Water Height (h):
Determine the height of the water level in the
tank.
This is the
vertical distance from the bottom of the tank to the surface of the water.
3.
Calculate the Volume in Cubic Meters:
Use the
formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is applicable to a circular tank
Here,
r is the radius of the tank,h is the height of the water
level,
4.
Convert Cubic Meters to Liters:
Since 1 cubic
meter equals 1000 Liters,
Volume in Liters = V ×
1000
Example Calculation:
Let's assume:
- Radius of the tank, r = 2 meters
- Water height, h = 3 meters
First, calculate the volume V in cubic meters:
V = π × (2)2
× 3
V = π × 4 × 3
V ≈ 3.14159 x 12
V ≈ 37.699 cubic meters
Now, convert the volume to litres:
Volume in Liters = 37.699
× 1000
Volume in Liters ≈ 37,699 litres
