Volume Formula:
From: | To: |
The water volume calculation determines the capacity of a container or space in litres. It's essential for water storage, pool maintenance, aquarium setup, and various industrial applications.
The calculator uses the volume formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates cubic meters first, then converts to litres (1 m³ = 1000 litres).
Details: Accurate volume calculation is crucial for proper water treatment, chemical dosing, pump sizing, and ensuring adequate water supply for various needs.
Tips: Enter all dimensions in meters. Measure internal dimensions for containers. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: Why multiply by 1000?
A: The multiplication converts cubic meters to litres (1 cubic meter = 1000 litres).
Q2: Can I use centimeters instead?
A: Yes, but convert to meters first (divide by 100) or adjust the formula to multiply by 1,000,000 instead.
Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It's mathematically precise for rectangular shapes. Irregular shapes require more complex calculations.
Q4: Does this work for circular tanks?
A: No, for cylindrical tanks use π × radius² × height × 1000.
Q5: What about temperature effects?
A: Water density changes slightly with temperature, but for most practical purposes this can be ignored.
