What Is Cylinder Volume?

A cylinder's volume is the amount of space inside it. It's commonly used for tanks, pipes, cans, and cylindrical containers.

Formula

V = πr²h, Surface Area = 2πr(r + h)

Example

A cylinder with radius 5 and height 10 has volume = π × 25 × 10 = 785.398 cubic units.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find cylinder volume in gallons?

Calculate volume in cubic inches, then divide by 231 (there are 231 cubic inches per US gallon).

What's the volume of a pipe?

For a pipe (hollow cylinder): V = π(R² − r²)h, where R is outer radius and r is inner radius.
