Cylinder Volume Calculator

Cylinder Volume Calculator works out the volume and surface areas of a right circular cylinder. Pick the two measurements you already know, enter them with their units, and the app solves the rest: radius, height, volume, lateral area, top and base areas, and total surface area.

Five ways to start
• Radius and height
• Radius and volume, to find the height
• Radius and lateral area
• Height and lateral area, to find the radius
• Height and volume, to find the radius

Every field has its own unit menu: millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilometers, inches, feet, yards and miles for lengths, and matching cubic or square units for volume and area. The results come out in the units you chose. The pi field starts at 3.1415926535898 and can be changed if you need a rounded value.

Example
A cylinder with radius 3 m and height 5 m has a volume of 141.37167 cubic meters, a lateral surface of 94.2477795 square meters, and a total surface of 150.796447 square meters.

Where it helps
• Sizing a cylindrical tank, drum or can
• Estimating how much a pipe or column holds
• Working out the label area for a can or a roll
• Finding the height a cylinder needs to hold a target volume

Good to know
• The shape is a right circular cylinder with flat, parallel ends
• Lateral area is the curved side only; total area adds both ends
• Enter positive values only
