Determine Volume by Liquid Level Height

How to make a diptube to measure your cylindrical tank, kettle, or fermenter.

Units of measure are Inches (yielding Gallons US) or Centimeters (yielding Liters).

Orientation of the Cylinder:   Horizontal   Vertical Round Answer
to Decimal:
Unit of Measure:    Inches      Centimeters

Enter Cylinder Length  
Enter Cylinder Diameter  
Enter Liquid Height  



The fluid surface area (circle portion) is   
The Unitsł are   
The Cylinder Volume is   
The Rounded Volume is   

I haven't found a better calculator, so you'll have to create a dipstick and mark it off at Inch or Centimeter increments and then use this tool to figure out the volume measurement at each mark by changing the height.
