one litre of water 1 kilogram one litre of diesel fuel 0.832 kilogram one litre of gas 0.75 kilogram. This calculator uses metres for measurements. The horizontal capsule tank is a cylinder with hemispherical heads on the ends. You can convert a tanks storage capacity between numerous quantities including – Litres, m3, Gallons (UK), Gallons (US), Barrels and ft3. Calculate the amount of liquid in a partially filled horizontal capsule tank. Not only that, but if you already have an existing measurement unit you wish to convert, our tank volume converter will allow you to do this quickly and easily. Approximate weight of Fuel or Water one litre of water 1 kilogram one litre of diesel fuel 0.832 kilogram one litre of gas 0. Capsule Horizontal Tank (Hemispheres): This unique tank type is effortlessly managed with the app, allowing for efficient volume calculations of capsule horizontal tanks with hemispherical ends. This calculator uses centimetres for measurements. The shape of this tank looks like a capsule. The ASME code design formulas for a 2:1 SE. The SE is not as efficient at handling stresses as the hemi, so the design rules require more thickness. SE heads can be made from a flat plate, resulting in what is often the most economical head for low pressure vessels. Cylinder Volume: The central part of the capsule is a cylinder. The results of your inputs will be displayed in a range of measurement units including – Litres, m 3, Gallons (UK), Gallons (US), Barrels and ft 3. Calculate the volume, capacity, and surface area of a horizontal cylindrical tank with hemispherical heads. The depth is half as much as the hemi head, but more than the F&D and Flat head. To calculate its volume, we need to sum the volumes of the cylinder and the two hemispheres. Optionally with all tank types, you can also include the Liquid Height, which will then allow you to work out the spare capacity available in the tank. If you have Rectangular Tanks, you will need to include the Length, Width and Height of the tank. You will need to add the Diameter and Width for both Horizontal Cylindrical Tanks, Vertical Cylindrical Tanks.
Next you need to select the measurement unit that your tank measurements are in, in order to ensure your results are accurate. Once you know your tanks dimensions, you simply need to select the type of storage tank you are calculating the volume for by selecting one of the tank type options – Horizontal Cylindrical Tanks, Vertical Cylindrical Tanks and Rectangular Tanks.
