👉Quantity of Water in a Rectangular Tank

💫1. Tank Volume

🚧Use the basic formula:

V = L×B×H
For the given tank:
12 ft × 8 ft × 6 ft = 576 cubic feet (cuft)

💫2. Convert Volume to Water (Liters)

1 cubic meter = 1000 liters
1 cubic meter = 35.31 cuft
So, 1 cuft ≈ 28.31 liters

💫3. Total Water in Tank

576 × 28.31 = 16,307 liters (≈ 16.3 m³)

💫4. Convert to Gallons

US gallon: ≈ 4,308 gallons
UK gallon: ≈ 3,592 gallons

💫5. Simple Shortcut (if dimensions in meters)
Volume × 1000 = liters

❇️Summary: The tank holds about 16,300 liters of water, depending on full capacity.

👉Water Tank Capacity Calculation

🔖The capacity of a cylindrical water tank is calculated using:

🪧Volume = (π/4) × d² × h

🧷Where:

d = Diameter of tank

h = Height of tank

Example:

Diameter = 6 ft

Height = 8 ft

Volume = 226.08 ft³

Since 1 ft³ = 28.317 litres,

Capacity = 226.08 × 28.317 = 6399.64 litres

✅Water Tank Capacity = 6399.64 Litres
