Cylinder Volume Calculator in Feet

Maintained by theEditorial Team

Cylinder volume in feet is calculated using V = pi r squared h. For a tank with radius 3 ft and height 8 ft, multiplying pi times 9 times 8 gives 226.195 cu ft, which holds 1,692.05 US gallons (8.378 cu yd). Enter your structural dimensions in feet below to find cubic feet and gallon capacity.
