User Guide

This online tool will calculate the length of a cylindrical shaped object from the required volume capacity and diameter.

Once the parameters have been entered for the cylinder volume and diameter, the length of the cylinder will be calculated. Also a graphic depicting the resulting cylindrical shape to exact proportions, will be drawn with labels indicating the volume, diameter, and length, along with corresponding selected measurement units for each parameter.

Formula

The formula used by this calculator to calculate the length of a cylinder from a specified volume and diameter is as follows:

r = ø/2

V = L · π · r²

V = L · π · (ø/2)²

L = V/( π · (ø/2)²)

L = 4 · V/( π · ø²)

Symbols

• V = Volume
• L = Length
• ø = Diameter
• r = Radius
• π = Pi = 3.14159…

Volume (V)

Enter the required volume for the cylindrical shaped object, and select the relevant volumetric measurement units.

Diameter (ø)

Enter the required diameter for the cylindrical shaped object, and select the relevant diameter measurement units.

Length (L)

This is the length of the cylinder calculated from the required volume and diameter entered, and shown in the selected length measurement units.
