Ellipsoidal Head Tank - Volume-Height Calculation

The document contains calculations of fluid volume for a horizontal tank with ellipsoidal heads at various heights. It provides the area (Af) and volume (Vf) calculations using formulas for an ellipsoid head shape. For a tank with a diameter of 2310 mm and height of 2310 mm, the fluid volume is calculated to be 26.27734 cubic meters.

NOTE : Volume is calculated based on the approved drawing dimensions and not on the actual
size of the Tank, therefore a small discrepancy is expected.

Horizontal Tank Fluid Volume


Tank fluid volume calculation results (ellipsoidal heads only!):

R = D/2
= 1.155
Af  = R2 * cos-1((R-h)/R) - (R-h)*sqrt(2*R*h-h2)
= 4.190963
Vf  = Af*L + PI*a*h2 * (1-(h/(3R)))
= 26.27734

a and b are measured from the center, so they are like "radius" measures.

Approximation 1

This approximation is within about 5% of the true value, so long as a is not more than 3 times longer than
