Volume Measurement

Calculate the cubic footage of a cylinder from diameter and height

A cylinder cubic footage calculator determines the volume of a cylindrical space from diameter and height measurements. It is used for concrete-filled sonotubes, round columns, tanks, pipes, and any cylindrical form where volume needs to be expressed in cubic feet.

How cylinder volume is calculated

The volume of a cylinder is the area of its circular cross-section multiplied by its height. The cross-section area uses the formula for a circle: pi times the radius squared. The radius is half the diameter.

Once the volume is in cubic feet, the calculator converts to cubic yards (divide by 27), gallons, and litres for practical ordering and comparison.

Volume = pi x (Diameter / 2)^2 x Height

Calculate the circular area from the diameter, then multiply by the height to get the volume.

Common applications

Sonotube concrete pours, round column footings, well casings, and cylindrical tank capacity are common uses. Knowing the cubic footage lets you calculate how many bags of concrete or how much liquid the cylinder holds.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate cubic feet for a round column?

Measure the diameter and height, then use the formula: pi x (diameter / 2) squared x height, with all measurements in feet.

 How many bags of concrete do I need for a sonotube?

Calculate the cubic footage of the tube, then divide by the yield per bag listed on the concrete mix packaging.
