 How to calculate the Quantity of water in Circular Tank?

1.   Storage tanks are constructed for storing water, liquid petroleum, petroleum products & merchandise and similar & comparable liquids. 

2.   Designed as crack free structures to eliminate any leakage. 

3.   Permeability of concrete is directly proportional to water cement ratio.

4. To maintain low shrinkage, cement content between 330 kg/ m3 and 530 kg/ m3 is recommended.

We will be determining the capacity Water in Circular Tank by an example.

Let's focus on these pictures

How to calculate the Quantity of water in Circular Tank?



These are just simple pictures of the Circular Water Tank. Remember the process in this method can be the same for all types of water tank; it does not matter if it's an overhead water tank or underground water tank, (but should be circular).

Remember the capacity of the tank can be calculated in terms of volume (meters) and if we multiply the volume with 1000, we can get the capacity of the tank in liters.

Now, let's go ahead. The total capacity of the tank or the volume of the tank can be area of the base times the depth of the tank.

∴, For circular Tanks

So, volume of tank = Ï€ /4  d2* height (h)

Here, 

Height of tank = 4.5 m as per above drawing

Diameter of tank = 2 m as per above drawing 

∴, Volume of Circular Tank

               = Ï€/4  x d2* height (h)

               = 3.1415/4 * 22 * 4.5

              = 14.14 m3

Also, we know that the water is measured in liters not in cubic meters.

∴ ,

In 1 Cubic Meter = 1000 liters

 ∴, Volume of Circular Tank in liters

      = 14.14 * 1000
     = 14140 liters

In case of gallon,

Gallon (gal)

Liter (L)

1

3.78541

∴ ,Volume of Tank (Gallon)

       = 14140 / 3.78541

        = 3736 gal

∴, if we have same two circular tanks,

   Volume of Tank (liters)

                       = 2 * 14140

                   = 28280 liters

In Gallons,

     = 28280 / 3.78541

    = 7471 gal
