How much water will a tank that is 14" dia by 56" high hold?

44.78 Gallons

Hi all:

Hmmm... really need more info. Here...

To figure the volume of a cylinder we multiply (pi x radius squared x height)... this is best done in feet.

So, 3.14 x (.58ft squared) x 4.67 ft = 4.93 cubic feet

To convert to gallons

4.93 cubic feet x (7.48 gallons/cubic foot) = 36.89 gallons.


For a rectangle tank, (Length (in) x height (in) x width (in)) divided by (231 cubic inches/gallon), so

14"x14"x56" = 10976 inches cubed

10976 inches cubed divided by 231 inches cubed/gallon = 47.52 gallons.

A lot of assuptions here though...

Harold... how did you figure your answer? Thanks...

I made some kind of math error.

3.14159 X (7 x 7 ) X 56" = 8620 cubic inches.

8620 / 231 =37.31 gal.

assume round tank because only circles have diameters.
Can I go back and edit my post.

I figured it was something like that Harold... ;)

Thanks...
