Cylinder Volume Formula:
Converted to fluid ounces:
\[ \text{Ounces} = \frac{\pi \times r^2 \times h \times 0.554112}{1} \]
| From: | To: |
The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder. This calculator converts the volume to fluid ounces for practical measurements.
The calculator uses the cylinder volume formula:
And converts to fluid ounces:
Where:
Details: Calculating cylinder volume in fluid ounces is useful for measuring liquid capacities in containers, pipes, and other cylindrical vessels in everyday applications.
Tips: Enter the radius and height in inches. Both values must be positive numbers. The result will be in fluid ounces (fl oz).
Q1: Why convert to fluid ounces?
A: Fluid ounces are a common measurement for liquids in the United States, making it easier to understand volumes for cooking, chemistry, and other applications.
Q2: What's the conversion factor?
A: 1 cubic inch = 0.554112 US fluid ounces. This is based on the US customary system of measurement.
Q3: Can I use different units?
A: This calculator specifically uses inches for input. For other units, you would need to adjust the conversion factor accordingly.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, but actual container volumes may vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances.
Q5: What about imperial vs US fluid ounces?
A: This calculator uses US fluid ounces (1 US fl oz ≈ 1.041 UK fl oz).
