Barrel Volume Calculator

Barrel volume calculation

By radius

By area

Formula for barrel volume by height and radius:

V=π·d2/4h·h

π - constant equal to (3.14); r - base radius; h - cylinder height.

If you need the radius, just divide the diameter by 2

Formula for barrel volume by height and base area:

V=S·h

S - cylinder base area; h - cylinder height.

Information

A barrel is a cylindrical container with sealed top and bottom, customarily built from sturdy materials such as wood, metal, plastic, or other resilient substances. These containers are widely used for storing and transporting different types of cargo, including liquids, oils, and more. Barrels are especially popular for holding water, fuels, and various fluids, and they also play vital roles in fire safety systems.

Our online Barrel Volume Calculator is a specialized tool that provides a precise and efficient method to determine the capacity of your barrel, irrespective of its size. This practical calculator is perfect for evaluating the volume of a metal, plastic, or any other type of barrel, while accurately converting the result into liters, cubic meters, or other units.

How to use the Barrel Volume Calculator:

  • Input data: Select the available dimensions: height/diameter or height/base area.
  • Enter measurements: Provide the dimensions of your cylindrical or round barrel in millimeters.
  • Calculate volume: After entering the measurements, choose the preferred unit of measurement—millimeters, liters, or cubic meters (m3)—for the final volume output.

Using our calculator to compute the volume of a barrel is a straightforward and reliable method, especially when working with large quantities of liquid. For instance, if you need to determine how many liters of water or oil a 200-liter barrel can hold, our exact formula will deliver the precise capacity.

Whether you are calculating the volume for water, oil, or another liquid, our online tool simplifies the process, allowing you to quickly and accurately obtain the required measurements. This comprehensive calculation method enables you to confidently ascertain how much liquid your barrel can store or transport.
