![]() This may be the long way but high school math was a long time ago:
Volume = (pi)(r^2)h so (3.14)(radius^2)height so for example radius 10 cm height 20cm (3.14)*(10^2)(20) 3.14* 100*20 = 6280 cm3 1 cm3 = 1 ml 1000ml=1 litre so 6.280 litres. 3.84 litres = 1 gallon 1.635 gallons Cheers, Vic [veng68] |

![]() I think the measurements may be a bit off.
The old (200G) buckets aren't quite a right cylinder but they are close. The diameter is 27 cm with a height of 44 cm. This gives a volume of 25,200 cc or 25.2 l which is about 6.5 US Gal. The new buckets (I don't have one of them to measure) are 160G (vs. 200G). If we reduce the volume by 160/200, we get an estimated volume of 5.2US G. |

![]() An easier way to work out the volume is the put the bucket on a scale empty and then fill it with water. The difference in weight in kg is equal to the volume in liters since for fresh water 1 l = 1 kg.
Its a little more acurate than using geometry. |
