Tank Volume Calculator

Calculate the approximate geometric capacity of your tank using Circle, Oval or HH FABTECH Spell profiles.

01 / Select Profile

Choose your tank shape

The calculation model changes automatically with the selected cross-section.

Spell profile

Visualization is a proportional engineering illustration. It is not a fabrication drawing.

02 / Enter Dimensions

Spell Cylinder

Enter the overall width, height and straight shell length.

03 / Fill Calculation

Calculate filled volume

95% of the profile height = 0 mm until dimensions are entered.

Reports the entered volume, capped at the calculated capacity.

Dish-end volume is an engineering estimate: V = 2 × ⅔ × A × E. Actual volume depends on crown and knuckle radii.

Geometry, sizing and fabrication estimate

Optional controls. The main calculator updates automatically.

Spell profile geometry

Edit the central rectangle. The four circular arcs are derived from the overall and rectangle dimensions.

These scale automatically with your overall width and height until you type your own values. The 140 mm corner fillet deduction is fixed. Rw must not exceed the overall width and Rh must not exceed the overall height.

mm

Active: 140 mm (default).

Calculate a dimension from known volume

Enter a target capacity and choose which variable to solve.

Calculated dimension—
Modelled volume—

Uses the entered fixed dimensions and the embossed-end setting. Width and height use a numerical search.

Baffle plate / compartment estimate

Sections are sized on a usable volume. A new baffle is added only when a section would exceed its allowed maximum.

Max section = S × (1 + k) — 6,000 L

Percent of capacity used to size sections.

Actual compartment design, openings and statutory requirements must be confirmed by an engineer.

Material and estimated fabrication weight

Weight estimation is password protected. Enter the access password to unlock it.

Dish curvature, welds, supports, fittings, cut-outs and overlaps are excluded.

Circumference & corner marking calculator

Estimate the developed sheet length for roll bending. Spell profiles include corner-marking positions; circle and oval profiles do not use these four corner marks.

Profile perimeter—

Corner radius used140 mm
Marking reference25% / 75%
Enter valid dimensions to calculate sheet length and corner marks.

Sheet length estimate = profile perimeter + π × thickness + extra allowance. Confirm the neutral-axis factor, seam/weld allowance and shop roll-bending method with your fabricator.
