Gallons in a Cylinder

The Gallons in a Cylinder calculator computes the volume of a right circular cylinder in gallons from the height (h) and radius (r) of the base (see diagram).

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (r) radius of the circular base 
• (h) height of the cylinder

Gallons in a Cylinder (V):The calculator returns the volume in gallons.  However, this can be automatically converted to many other volume units (e.g. liters, cubic inches) via the pull-down menu. 

The Math

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:

           V = ?•r²•h

where:

• V is the volume of the cylinder
• r is the Radius of the cylinder .
• h is the Height of the cylinder.

Cylinder Calculators
