Water Weight Formula:
| From: | To: |
Water weight calculation determines the mass of water contained in a rectangular tank based on its dimensions. This is useful for various applications including engineering, agriculture, and aquarium management.
The calculator uses the water weight formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the volume of the rectangular tank and multiplies it by the density of water (1000 kg/m³) to determine the weight.
Details: Accurate water weight calculation is crucial for structural engineering, tank design, water treatment systems, and ensuring proper weight distribution in various applications.
Tips: Enter all dimensions in meters. Ensure all values are positive numbers. The calculator will provide the weight of water in kilograms.
Q1: Why multiply by 1000?
A: 1000 represents the density of water, which is 1000 kg per cubic meter at standard temperature and pressure.
Q2: Does this work for irregularly shaped tanks?
A: No, this formula is specifically for rectangular tanks. Different formulas are needed for cylindrical or irregularly shaped containers.
Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise for pure water at 4°C. Actual weight may vary slightly with temperature and water purity.
Q4: Can I use different units?
A: The calculator requires meters as input. For other units, convert to meters first (1m = 100cm = 1000mm).
Q5: What if my tank isn't completely full?
A: This calculator assumes the tank is completely filled. For partial fills, use the actual water height measurement.
