The Mass of Torispherical Tank Content calculator computes the mass of a                                             Cylinder Tank        Torispherical Heads (ends) cylindrical tank with torispherical heads based on the volume and the mean density of the contents.

INSTRUCTIONS:  Choose units and enter the following:

• (L) Length of Tank
• (D) Interior Diameter of Tank
• (R) Interior Crown Radius
• (a) Interior Knuckle Radius
• (mD) Mean Density of Contents (Default of 450  kg/m³ for LNG mid range)
• (PF) Percent Full

Mass or Weight of a Cylindrical Tank with Torispherical Head's Contents (M): The mass or weight is returned in kilograms. However, the volume can be automatically converted to compatible units (e.g. metric tons) via the pull-down menu. 

The Math / Science

The volume of the Cylindrical Tank with Torispherical Heads is computed by adding the volume of the central cylinder to the volume of the two torispherical heads.  The volume of the central cylinder is:

          M = V ⋅ mD ⋅ PF

where:

• M is the mass of the contents
• V is the volume of the torispherical head tank
• mD is the mean density of material
• PF is the percent full

Mean Density Lookup Function

Mean density is scientifically volume divided by mass.  There are  various unit for density adopted by cultures and industries. Common units for density included the following:

• kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³)
• grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³)
• grams per liter (g/L)
• pounds per cubic feet (lb/ft³)
• ounces per cubic inch (oz/in³)
• pounds per barrel (lb/bbl)
• pounds per bushel (lb/bu)

If you want to identify a material by its density, use the Density Within Range tool.

Torispheric-head or Dished End Calculators

• Capacity of a Dished End Tank: Computes the volume of a cylindrical tank with torispherical heads based on the length and diameter of the tank and the crown radius and knuckle radius of the torispherical heads.
• Torispherical Head Volume: CORRECTED. Computes the volume and diameter of an torispherical head (dish-head) based on the crown radius, knuckle radius and the height.
• Torispherical Head Volume and Height: computes the volume of an torispherical head based on the crown radius, knuckle radius and the Diameter. It also computes the head height. 
• Volume of a Torispherical Head Cylindrical Tank: Computes the volume of a cylindrical tank with torispherical heads (dish end) based on the length and diameter of the tank and the crown radius and knuckle radius of the torispherical heads.
• Mass of the Contents of Torispherical Head Tank: Computes the weight / mass of the contents of tank with torispherical heads based on the volume and density of the contents.
