Storage Capacity of a Square or Rectangular Tank

The Storage Capacity of a Square or Rectangular Tank calculator computes how much liquid a square / rectangular container can hold based on the interior dimensions.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (L) Length of Tank
• (W) Width of Tank
• (H) Height or Depth of Tank
  • Note: Enter the measured depth of content (wet dipstick) to compute current volume of liquid in tank.

Storage Capacity (V):  The calculator returns the volume in gallons.  However this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

To measure the volume stored in the tank, use a dip-stick to measure the depth of liquid and used that value for the depth of the tank.
