Frequently Asked Questions
The basic formula for cylinder volume is V = πr²h, where V is volume, π (pi) is approximately 3.14159, r is the radius of the base, and h is the height of the cylinder.
For a hollow cylinder, use the formula V = π(R² - r²)h, where R is the external radius, r is the internal radius, and h is the height. This calculates the volume of the material, not the empty space inside.
The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to its edge, while the diameter is the distance across the circle through its center. The diameter is always twice the radius (d = 2r).
Yes, for an oblique (slanted) cylinder, use V = πr² × side length × sin(angle), where the angle is measured from the vertical. The height must be perpendicular to the base.
The calculator supports various units including millimeters (mm), centimeters (cm), meters (m), kilometers (km), inches (in), feet (ft), and yards (yd). The volume result will be in the corresponding cubic units.
To find the weight, first calculate the volume, then multiply by the material's density. Weight = Volume × Density. Make sure your density units match your volume units.
No problem! You can input the diameter directly, or convert it to radius by dividing by 2. Many calculators accept both radius and diameter inputs.
The calculator uses high-precision mathematical constants and provides results accurate to several decimal places. For most practical applications, this level of precision is more than sufficient.
