height or f. Therefore:
V(fill) = πr2f
The filled volume of a rectangular tank is just a shorter height with the
same length and width. The new height is the fill height or f.
Therefore:
V(fill) = lwf

πr2 + 2ra and it can be proven that r = h/2 and a = w - h where w>h
must always be true. Therefore:
V(tank) = (πr2 + 2ra)l
To calculate volume of an oval tank find the area, A, of the end, which
Vertical Oval Tank is the shape of a stadium, and multiply it by the length, l. A = πr2 + 2ra
and it can be proven that r = w/2 and a = h - w where h>w must always
be true. Therefore:
V(tank) = (πr2 + 2ra)l
Fill, f < r
We calculate fill volume using the circular segment method, as
in a Horizontal Cylinder Tank, for the filled portion.
Fill, f > r and f < (r+a)
The filled volume is exactly 1/2 of the cylinder portion plus the
volume of fill inside the rectangular portion.
Fill, f > (r+a) and f < h
We calculate fill volume using the circular segment method, as

Fill, f < r
We calculate fill volume using the spherical cap method, for the
filled portion.
Fill, f > r and f < (r+a)
The filled volume is exactly 1/2 of the sphere portion plus the
volume of fill inside the vertical cylinder portion.
Fill, f > (r+a) and f < h
We calculate fill volume using the spherical cap method for the
empty portion. Volume will be V(tank) - V(spherical cap).
