Cylinder Volume Calculator – Accurately Measure Cylinder Capacity
The Cylinder Volume Calculator is a practical and easy-to-use tool designed for engineers, students, construction professionals, and anyone who needs to compute the volume of a cylinder.
Formula
Volume = π × r² × h
- π ≈ 3.14159 (used at full precision)
- r = radius of the circular base
- h = height
How to Use
- Enter the radius (half the diameter) and height in the same unit.
- Click Calculate to see volume and base area.
- Click Copy Result to copy the output.
Example Calculations
r = 4 cm, h = 10 cm → V = π × 16 × 10 ≈ 502.65 cm³
r = 1.5 m, h = 5 m → V = π × 2.25 × 5 ≈ 35.34 m³
Working with Diameter
r = diameter / 2. For diameter = 8 cm, use r = 4 cm.
Applications
- Engineering: Machine parts, fluid containers
- Construction: Concrete pillars, storage tanks, pipes
- Science: Lab cylinders, chemical storage
- Agriculture: Cylindrical silos and tanks
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I enter diameter instead of radius?
Divide diameter by 2 first, then enter as radius.
Is there a formula for hollow cylinders?
V = π × (R² − r²) × h, where R = outer radius, r = inner radius.
What units does the result use?
Cubic units matching your input — cm → cm³, m → m³, ft → ft³.
How precise is the result?
The calculator uses JavaScript's full-precision Math.PI ≈ 3.141592653589793.
What is the surface area formula?
Surface Area = 2πr² + 2πrh.
