Cylindrical Water Weight Formula:
| From: | To: |
The cylindrical water weight calculation determines the mass of water contained in a cylindrical tank based on its dimensions. This is useful for various engineering, agricultural, and industrial applications where water storage capacity needs to be determined.
The calculator uses the cylindrical volume formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the volume of the cylinder and multiplies it by the density of water to determine the total weight.
Details: Accurate water weight calculation is crucial for structural engineering, tank design, water management systems, and ensuring proper load distribution in storage facilities.
Tips: Enter the radius and height in meters. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the weight of water the cylinder can hold.
Q1: Why use 1000 kg/m³ as the density?
A: 1000 kg/m³ is the standard density of pure water at 4°C, which is commonly used for water weight calculations.
Q2: Can this calculator be used for other liquids?
A: This calculator is specifically for water. For other liquids, you would need to replace the density value with the specific density of that liquid.
Q3: What if my measurements are in different units?
A: Convert all measurements to meters before inputting. For centimeters, divide by 100; for inches, multiply by 0.0254.
Q4: Does this account for tank thickness?
A: No, this calculation assumes the internal dimensions of the tank. For precise calculations, subtract the tank wall thickness from the measurements.
Q5: Is this accurate for partially filled tanks?
A: This calculator provides the weight for a completely filled tank. For partial fills, additional calculations are needed based on the fill level.
