Volume in Horizontal Pipes or Cylindrical Tanks

Calculate liquid content in partly filled horizontal pipes or tanks. Provides volume based on liquid level height and tank diameter.

Volume in Horizontal Pipes or Cylindrical Tanks

This calculator determines the liquid volume in partly filled horizontal pipes or cylindrical tanks based on:

  • Liquid Level (m): The height of liquid in the tank
  • Diameter (m): The diameter of the horizontal pipe or tank

The calculation uses standard geometric formulas for a cylindrical tank viewed from the side, where the liquid forms a circular segment.
