Water storage tanks available in the various range of sizes. Water tank capacity is depending in the number of person & water requirement for your family.
For water tank,
500 liters water tank – Suitable for small homes or limited water usage
1000 liters – suitable for average sizes family
2000 liters – suitable for larger family
Up to 10,000 or more liters – this tank is suitable for homes with significant water requirements
In this article we have discussed about the calculate water tank capacity in liters.
Calculate water tank capacity in liters for rectangular water tank.
Step:1 – Volume of rectangular water tank:
Assume data:
- Length of water tank – 900 mm
- Width of water tank – 400 mm
- Depth or height of water tank – 7000 mm
Volume of water Tank = Length x Width X depth
= 900/1000 x 400/1000 x 7000/1000 (To convert mm to meter divide value by 1000)
= 0.9 x 0.4 x 7
Volume of water Tank = 2.52 cumt
Step:2 – Calculate Rectangular Water Tank Capacity in Liters :
Convert water tank volume to liter.
To convert water tank volume cumt to liter, you need to multiply value by 1000
1 cumt = 1000 liters
Volume of water tank = 2.52 cumt
Water tank capacity in liters
= 2.52 x 1000
= 2520 liters
Final result,
Rectangular water tank with 900 mm x 400 mm x 7000 mm capacity is 2520 liter.
Calculate water tank capacity in liters for Circular water tank.
To calculate total volume of circular or cylindrical water tank is calculated by the multiplying area into height of water tank.
Cylindrical or circular water tank area – πR2
Cylindrical or circular water tank height – πR2H
Where,
π= 3.14
R – Radius of water tank
H – Height of cylindrical or circular water tank
Lets take example,
Step:1 – Volume of circular water tank:
Assume data:
Diameter of circular tank – 1.50 m
Height – 1 m
To calculate radius = diameter/2 = 1.50/2 = 0.75 m
Volume of circular water tank
= πR2H
= 3.14 x 0.75 x 0.75 x 1
Volume of circular water tank = 1.77 cumt
Step:2 – Calculate cylindrical or circular Water Tank Capacity in Liters :
Convert circular water tank volume to liter.
To convert water tank volume cumt to liter, you need to multiply value by 1000
1 cumt = 1000 liters
Volume of water tank = 1.77 cumt
Cylindrical or circular Water tank capacity in liters = 1.77 x 1000 = 1770 liters
Result,
Circular water tank with 1.50 m diameter, 1 m height capacity is 1770 liter.
So these are the ways to calculate water tank capacity in liter. Using this steps you can able to calculate water tank capacity in liter as per your requirement. If you have any query please comment in the comment section.
