With this tool, you can calculate the volume of the fuel tank, feed water tank, condensate tank or water tank and the amount of liquid at a certain level. Especially in horizontal cylindrical tanks, the volume of liquid does not change linearly with the level; the tool calculates this exactly with the circular segment formula.
Formulas
Horizontal cylinder: V = L · [R² · acos((R − h) / R) − (R − h) · √(2Rh − h²)]
Example
A horizontal tank with an inner diameter of 2 m and a length of 5 m has a total volume of 15.71 m³. There are 9.84 m³ of liquid in it, while the liquid level is 1.2 m; the fill ratio is 62.6% (although the level is 60%). An upright tank with a diameter of 1.5 m and a height of 3 m holds 5.30 m³.
The volume of dished (torispherical) heads is not included; the actual volume is slightly larger in tanks with dished heads. You can consult Çiftel Kazan engineers for your boiler room and installation project.
