I need a mathamatician?(spl)

[yogibear]

I'm trying to build a larger capacity tank for my water/meth system. Need a larger tank than the 8 gal. from Snow perf. What is the formula for figuring capacity? Here's the size I can use, 10"dia. x40"long, or 10"widex14"tallx40"long. I would appreciate some help. TIA,



Larry

1 gallon = 231 cubic inches



10 X 14 X40 = 5600 / 231 = 24. 2424 gallons



10 X 40 = 1256. 6 / 231 = 5. 4398 gallons

A cylinder that is "10"dia. x40"long" has a volume slightly over 3140 cubic inches (pi times the radius squared times the height) which is about 13. 6 gallons.



A closer spelling is mathematician

Oops I fubar'ed that one

Looks like you're hooked on phonics, Yogi - nothin' wrong w/that.

Do you mind telling us where you decided to put your tank. I want a Snow water/meth system and have been looking for tanks as well. Thanks Erwin
