By ratnaveera

simple calculations
Generally water is stored either in a cylindrical tank or in a square tank. We can easily find out the capacity of water storage tank of any size in liters. For eg. if you want to find out the capacity of a square water tank measuring 1m length, 1m breadth, 1m height, first convert meter to cm. As the formula to find out the volume of cube is a^3 we can get answer as 1000,000 cc (1 m = 100 cm) 1000 cc is 1 liter Therefore above said cubic tank can hold 1000 liters. By this same method we can easily calculate the capacity of tanks in various sizes.

How to Construct Any Type of a Water Tank for a Specific Capacity

We can easily construct any type of water tank like cylindrical, cubical and rectangular for a specific capacity. For instance, if you want to get measurements of tank in any shape to store 5000 liters, you will feel easy with following examples. But, you need to count only inner measurements of tanks to get accurate answers.

Let us try to find out the side of a cubical tank to store 5000 liters. Formula for the volume of a cube = a^3, a = the side of cubical tank Specific Capacity = 5000 liters (i.e.) 5000,000 cc Therefore a^3 = 5000,000 cc The side 'a' = (5000,000)^1/3 = 170.99 cm

Similarly we can find out the measurements of a rectangular tank holding 5000 liters Formula for the volume of a rectangular tank is l*b*h Say the length is 1.5 times breadth and the height is equal to breadth Now the volume of the tank can be written as 1.5*b*b*b = 1.5*b^3 Specific Capacity = 5000 liters (i.e.) 5000,000 cc Therefore 1.5*b^3 = 5000,000 cc Now 'b' will come as [5000,000/1.5]^[1/3] = 149.38 cm Now we can easily get length, breadth and height of the tank as follows, l = 224.07 cm, b = 149.38 cm, h = 149.38 cm which can hold 5000 liters of water

The same way we can easily design a cylindrical tank to store 5000 liters Formula for the volume of a cylinder is 3.14*r^2*h Say height is 2 times radius of the tank Now the volume of the tank can be written as 3.14*r^2*2*r = 6.28*r^3 Specific Capacity = 5000 liters (i.e.) 5000,000 cc Therefore 6.28*r^3 = 5000,000 cc

Now 'r' will come as [5000,000/6.28]^[1/3] = 92.68 cm Now we can easily get height and radius of the cylindrical tank holding 5000 liters as follows, h = 185.36 cm and r = 92.68 cm You can also try to find out the measurements of tanks for different capacities.

hi i have 6000x3000x3000 water tank i want to know the volume of total please reply

ratnaveera Hub Author 2 years ago

Dear khurshed, First you need to convert the measurement into cm. For eg. if you have 2 m breadth and 1 m height and 3 m long tank. You need to convert them into cm as 200 cm, 100 cm and 300 cm. Now you will get the volume multiplying them l*b*h, 200*100*300=6000000 cc (i.e) 6000 litres
Ragu 2 years ago

Hi, I just like to know how to calculate the capacity for 200000 ltrs in rectangular tank. kindly reply please

ratnaveera Hub Author 2 years ago

Dear Ragu, Thanks for your question. First you need to convert 200000 litres into cc and it'll come as 200000000 cc. If it be a square the side of the tank would come as 584.8 cm. If it be a rectangular tank with length 1.5 and height 1 times breadth, then the formula to find out the measurement is 200000000 cc= 1.5b*1b*1b = 1.5b^3 Therefore b= 510.8 cm l= 766.2 cm h= 510.8 cm

Hi.. if i need to take out the capicity of cylindrical tank then which formula i shud use?? and 2nd thing.. for eg if i have to design a square tank for 5000 ltrs water then which formula i have to use??

ratnaveera Hub Author 23 months ago

Dear noman, Thanks for your questions. The formula to find out the volume of a cylindrical tank is 3.14*r*r*h, r=radius of the cylindrical tank and whereas h=height of it. First you need to convert measurement of tank into cm. Then only you get easily the quantity by volume. For eg. if r=100 cm and h=150 cm. The quantity of that cylindrical tank is coming as 4710000 cc that is 4710 litres. The formula for the square tank is a^3, therefore a^3=5000000 cc, a=170.9 cm Once again thanks for your questions. Hope this would be useful for you!

bhanu 16 months ago

hello, i want to make 20tons capacity cylindrical tank. so what is the formula and dimensions, radius and height.

ratnaveera Hub Author 16 months ago

Dear bhanu, Say height is 2 times r. Then formula to find out the volume of the cylinder is 3.14*r*r*2r which equals 20000000 cc. Therefore 20000000/6.28 = r^3. Now radius of the tank can be calculated as 147 cm and height as 294 cm

i used your method to calculate the height of my cylindrical tank if i want to calculate the head how would i go about this i got 15 feet for the height and the capacity of the tank is approximately 20000gallons

ratnaveera Hub Author 14 months ago

Dear trix, Thank you for coming here and your nice question. Here is your answer 1 GALLON = 4.54 LITERS Your required tank capacity is 20000*4.54 liters = 90800000 cc your cylinderical tank height is 15 ft = 450 cm Formula for the volume of a cylinder is 3.14*r*r*h Now substitute the values 90800000 cc = 3.14*r*r*450 cm r*r = 90800000/[3.14*450 cm] r*r = 64260.438 r = 253.49 cm You can check out it now! The r value is correct to my knowledge. Thanks again! You are always welcome friend!

dear sir i have 27000ltr capcity how to find size of rectangular tank

ratnaveera Hub Author 10 months ago

Dear sujay, It's very easy to calculate the size of a rectangular tank that can hold 27000 liter. The formula to the volume of a rectangular tank is l*b*h. Say the length is 2 times breadth and breadth is equal to the height. Now 2b*b*b = 27000 liter b^3 = 27000/2 b^3 = 13500*1000 cc Therefore b = 238.11 cm l = 476.22 cm h = 238.11 cm That's all.
