Storage Tank Volume Calculator

This calculator determines the total and liquid volume for various types of storage tanks, aiding mechanical engineers in design, operation, and inventory management. The calculations are based on fundamental geometric principles commonly applied in engineering practice, referenced against standards like API 650 (Welded Tanks for Oil Storage) and ASME BPVC (Pressure Vessels) where applicable for dimensions and general vessel types.

Supported Tank Shapes:

  • Vertical Cylindrical (Flat Bottom/Top, Conical Top/Bottom, Spherical Top/Bottom): Common for large storage.
  • Horizontal Cylindrical (Flat Ends, Torispherical/Ellipsoidal Ends): Used for various liquids.
  • Rectangular/Box Tanks: Simple and versatile.
  • Spherical Tanks: For high-pressure storage.

Units: Ensure consistency. If you use meters for length, the volume will be in cubic meters ($m^3$) and then converted to Liters (L).
