📐 Formula
💡 Practical Example
Two 18-inch diameter cylinders, 5.0 feet deep (10% waste): Single Volume = π × 0.75² × 5.0 = 8.84 cu ft. Total Gross Volume = 8.84 × 2 × 1.10 = 19.44 cu ft = 0.72 cu yd (33 bags of 80 lb concrete).
📖 About Cylindrical Tank & Hole Concrete Volume Calculator
Calculating concrete volume for cylindrical holes uses V = π r^2 h. Always convert diameter from inches to feet before squaring.
To use the Cylindrical Tank & Hole Concrete Volume Calculator, enter your Cylinder Diameter, Cylinder Height / Depth, Number of Cylinders and other values. The calculator instantly computes Total Concrete Volume Needed, Total Volume (cu ft) and more. Results update in real time as you change any input — no submit button needed.
How to Use This Calculator
Enter your Cylinder Diameter (e.g. 18.0 in inches), Cylinder Height / Depth (e.g. 5.0 in ft), Number of Cylinders (e.g. 2 in cylinders), and Waste Margin (e.g. 10 in %). Measure twice before entering dimensions — small measurement errors scale up significantly in material estimates.
The Formula
Cylinder Volume = π × (Diameter in ft ÷ 2)² × Height (ft) × Quantity
Gross Volume (cu yd) = [ Volume (cu ft) × (1 + Waste %) ] ÷ 27
80 lb Bags = Ceil[ Gross Volume (cu ft) ÷ 0.60 ]
Worked Example
Two 18-inch diameter cylinders, 5.0 feet deep (10% waste):
Single Volume = π × 0.75² × 5.0 = 8.84 cu ft.
Total Gross Volume = 8.84 × 2 × 1.10 = 19.44 cu ft = 0.72 cu yd (33 bags of 80 lb concrete).
Understanding Your Result
Always add a 10–15% waste factor to concrete volume estimates for normal pours, and 15–20% for irregular forms or slabs with cutouts. Standard ready-mix concrete is ordered in cubic yards (1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet). Minimum slab thickness recommendations: driveways 4 inches, garage floors 4–6 inches, structural slabs per engineer specification. Over-ordering concrete is generally preferable to under-ordering — a short pour creates a cold joint that weakens the structure.
