Volume of a Cylinder

Volume of a Cylinder:
In geometry, a cylinder is a three-dimensional shape with a circular base, a circular top and straight sides. It is the

The strictly correct way of saying it is "the volume surrounded by a cylinder" - the amount of liquid it holds. But

Remember that the radius and the height must be in the same units - convert them if necessary.
The resulting volume will be in those cubic units. So if the height and radius are both in centimeters, then the volu

The volume of a cylinder is found by multiplying the area of its top or base by its height and is defined as: V = π·
Example 1: A cylindrical water storage tank has an inside base radius of 7m and depth of 11 m. Find the capacity
Solution:
Base radius: r = 7 m
Height: h = 11 m
The water storage tank is in the shape of the cylinder. So using the volume of cylinder formula we can find the vo

V = π· r2· h
V = π· 72· 11
V = 1692.46 m3 = 1692.46 kl

Example 2: Find the volume of a cylinder whose base radius is 6 cm and height is 4 cm.
Solution:
Base radius: r = 6 cm
Height: h = 4 cm
V = π· r2· h
V = 3.14· 62· 4
V = 452.16 cm3

Example 3: If the capacity of a cylindrical tank is 1848 m 3 and the diameter of its base is 14 m, find the depth of
Solution:
Let the depth of the tank be h metres. Then we have:
V = π· r2· h
h = V / π· r2
h = 12 m

Example 4: A conical vessel, whose internal radius and height is 20cm and 50 cm respectively, is full of liquid. F
Solution:
The volume of the vessel is:
V = π · r2 · h / 3
V = π · 202· 50 / 3
V = 20944 cm3

The volume of the liquid is the same no matter it is in the vessel or in the cylinder, therefore we have:
V1 = V2, where V1 is the volume of the vessel and V2 is the volume determined using the formula for a cylinder.

20944 = π · 102 · h
Thus:
h = 20944 / (π · 102)
h = 66.67 cm
Example 5: Find the volume of a right circular cylinder whose curved surface area is 2640 cm 2
And the circumference of its base is 66 cm.
Solution:
To begin with we need to determine the base radius using the formula for circular perimeter (circumference).

P = 2 · π ·r
r = P /(2 · π) = 66 / (2 · π) = 10.50 cm

Now we will find the height of the cylinder using the formula for surface area of a cylinder.
SA = P · h
h = SA / P = 2640 / 66 = 40 cm

The volume of the cylinder is therefore:

V = π· r2· h
V = π· 10.502· 40
V =13854.4 cm3

Cylinder thickness calculation is based on para UG-27 of ASME Section VIII Division 1 2011 edition code book.

Where in cylinder thickness due to circumferential stress is given by:

t = P * R/(2SE – 0.6P)

where,
t = Cylinder thickness in corroded condition
P = Design pressure
R = Cylinder Inside radius in corroded condition
S = Maximum Allowable Stress at design temperature
E= Joint Efficiency

This tool also calculate cylinder thickness on OD basis as per Appendix 1-1 of ASME Section VIII Div. 1, which is

t = P * Ro/(SE + 0.4P)

where,
Ro = Cylinder outside diameter
