Cylinder Volume Calculator
Volume of a cylinder.
Enter the values and press Calculate.
How to use Cylinder Volume Calculator
A cylinder volume is pi multiplied by the radius squared and the height.
Open Cylinder Volume Calculator on toolpermarket and enter your values above.
Enter the radius and height of the cylinder in the fields above, then press Calculate.
Read the result below the form. You can change any input and press Calculate again to compare scenarios.
Worked example. A radius of 5 and height of 10 gives a volume of about 785.4.
When to use Cylinder Volume Calculator. Use it for tanks, pipes, or any cylindrical container.
Practical note. The formula assumes a perfect cylinder with constant radius; real containers with tapered walls give a slightly different volume.
When you actually reach for this
- Use it for tanks, pipes, or any cylindrical container.
Where this tool stops being accurate
- Uses the units you enter consistently (all meters or all cm); mixing them silently breaks the result.
- It models ideal shapes, not real-world tolerances or material waste.
Frequently asked questions
What units apply?
Use any consistent unit; the result is that unit cubed.
Does this assume a right cylinder?
Yes, a straight cylinder with circular bases.
Why is my area wrong?
Usually mixed units - if one side is in cm and another in m, convert first. The formula is exact once units match.
