About This Cylinder Calculator

Welcome to the ultimate Cylinder Volume and Area Calculator. This online tool is designed for students, engineers, and construction professionals who need to calculate the geometric properties of a cylinder instantly. Whether you are calculating the water capacity of a tank or the weight of a steel pipe, this tool handles it all.

How to Calculate Cylinder Volume?

The volume of a cylinder represents the amount of space inside it. The standard formula used is:

Volume (V) = π × r² × h
  • r = Radius of the circular base
  • h = Height of the cylinder
  • π = Pi (approx. 3.14159)

Surface Area Formulas

This tool calculates three types of areas:

  • Lateral Surface Area: The area of the curved side (excluding top and bottom). useful for painting or coating calculations.
    Formula: 2πrh
  • Base Area: The area of the bottom circle.
    Formula: πr²
  • Total Surface Area: The complete area of the cylinder including the top and bottom bases.
    Formula: 2πrh + 2πr²

Liquid Capacity Conversion

Our calculator automatically converts the volume into liquid capacity, which is essential for tanks and containers:

  • If calculating in centimeters (cm), results are shown in Liters.
  • If calculating in inches/feet, results are shown in Gallons.
