Horiz. Cylindrical with Spherical Heads
(1) Note:
The weight of the contents is calculated for a gravitational acceleration equal to 9.80665 m/s2 (sea level)
Descriptions
- D: Inner diameter of the tank
- c: Internal length of the tank
- L: Level of the contents
- r: Radius of spherical heads
- a: Height of spherical heads
: Variation of the contents level for volume table calculation
: Specific weight of the contents (Density) in kg/m3- Hemispherical Heads: Formed by the half of a sphere whose radius is equal to half of the inner diameter (D/2) of the tank (Figure below)
- Spherical Cap Heads: Formed by spherical caps whose radius (r) is greater than half the internal diameter (D/2) of the tank (Figure below)
Instructions
- Select the type of tank heads
- For "Spherical Cap" heads select the dimension that will be used (The height "a" or the radius "r")
- Fill in the fields with the dimensions of the tank
- Fill in the field with the level of the contents. Select the option "Length" if the level is indicated in unit of length (e.g. m). Select the option "%" if the level is indicated as a percentage of the height of the tank
- Click the "Calculate >>" button to see the results in the fields next to each variable
- The calculation of the weight of the tank contents is only carried out if the "Specific Weight of the Contents", in the configurations area, is filled. Optionally click the icon
and select the desired material from the list (For more accurate values we recommend consulting the manufacturer or supplier of the material) - Click the "Print" button to open the impression page
- To transfer a result to one of the temporary memories of WebCalc, select the result to be transferred ("Memo" column), select the memory and the type of operation, and click the "Transfer >>" button
- To create a volume table based on the variation of the contents level, fill in the field with the desired value of the level variation and click the "Table >>" button
- You can optionally set, in the configurations area, the maximum number of decimal places, the unit of measurement of length, the specific weight of the contents, the unit of measurement of weight, the title and add comments to the print page
