How do I calculate volume of a cylinder in gallons?

The cylinder volume gallons calculator will do all calculations and conversions for you! But if you want to calculate the volume of a cylinder by hand, 😉 you need to utilize the following 

Formula:-

      Volume = π x r² x h

      Where:

                 π = Pi = 3.14159

                 r = Radius = 1/2 Diameter

                 h = Height

Example 1:-

You have a cylinder with a 5 inch diameter and it’s 6 inches high. What is the volume of this cylinder?

Solution:

   (5 Inch Diameter Divided by 2) = 2.5 Inch Radius
   2.5 Inch Radius × 2.5 Inch Radius = 6.25
   6.25 × 6 Inches Height = 37.5
     37.5 × 3.14159 = 117.809625 Cubic Inches

The volume of a cylinder 5 inches in diameter and 6 inches high is 117.81 cubic inches.

Additional Conversion Information:
Convert cubic inches to cubic centimeters: 1 Cubic Inch = 16.387064 Cubic Centimeters
117.809625 Cubic Inches × 16.387064 = 1930.55 Cubic Centimeters

Convert cubic inches to liters: 1 Cubic Inch = 0.016387064 Liters
117.809625 Cubic Inches × 0.016387064 
= 1.9305 Liters
