The Volume of a Conic Cylinder calculator computes the volume of a cylinder with cone shaped (tapered) ends (see diagram).   Conic Cylinder 

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose the preferred units and enter the following:

• (d₁) This is the diameter of the main cylinder.
• (d₂) This is the diameter of the left end.
• (d₃) This is the diameter of the right end.
• (l₁) This is the length of the main cylinder.
• (l₂) This is the length of the left end.
• (l₃) This is the length of the right end.

Conic Cylinder Volume: The calculator returns the volume in cubic meters.  However, this can be automatically converted to other volume units (e.g. gallons) via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

Geometrically, a conic cylinder is a cylinder of any length (l) with a conic frustum on both ends.   There are three radii and three lengths. See diagram.  Therefore, the volume of the conic cylinder is the sum of the following:

• Volume of the Cone Frustum  on the left
• Volume of the Cylinder in the center
• Volume of the Cone Frustum on the right
