The Load Weight of Cylinder Tank calculator computes the fully load weight of a cone ended cylinder tank. 
Cone ended Cylinder Tank
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:
- (d1) Diameter of Central Tank
- (l1) Length of Central Tanks
- (l3) Length of forward cone
- (d3) End Diameter of forward cone
- (l2) Length of rear cone
- (d2) End Diameter of rear cone
- (mD) The mean density (mD) of the substance contained in the tank.
Load Weight of a Conic Cylinder Tanker (W): The calculator returns the weight in U.S. tons. However, this can be automatically converted to other mass or weight units (e.g. kilogram) via the pull-down menu.

- 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.
- Total or Partial Load Weight of a Box (Rectangular). For the weight of a partial load, 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)
