How to Calculate the Volume of a Cylinder

A cylinder is a solid bounded by a cylindrical surface and two parallel planes. Imagine it as a solid physical tin with lids on top and bottom. To calculate its volume, you need to know two parameters: the radius (or diameter) and height.

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:

cylinder volume = π × cylinder radius² × cylinder height

A cylinder volume calculator can help you find the volume of right, hollow, and oblique cylinders.

Volume of a Hollow Cylinder

A hollow cylinder, also called a cylindrical shell, is a three-dimensional region bounded by two right circular cylinders having the same axis and two parallel annular bases perpendicular to the cylinders' common axis. Think of a drinking straw or a pipe – the hollow cylinder is made of plastic, metal, or other material.

The formula for the volume of a hollow cylinder is:

cylinder_volume = π × (R² - r²) × cylinder_height

where R is the external radius, and r is the internal radius.

Alternatively, you can use the external diameter (D) and internal diameter (d) of a hollow cylinder with this formula:

cylinder_volume = π × [(D² - d²)/4] × cylinder_height

Cylinder Specifications

Cylinders are commonly used in various fields and their specifications vary based on the application. Below are some typical cylinder specifications:

In Construction and Engineering

Diameter (D) & Height (H)	Applications
Φ150×300mm	Large-scale projects such as hydropower, bridges, tunnels, and high-rise buildings.
Φ100×200mm	Medium and small-scale projects such as houses, roads, and plazas.
Φ75×150mm	Small projects such as floor slabs and masonry.

In Wear-resistant Ceramics

Dimensions	Applications
10×10mm to 60×60mm	Manufacturing wear-resistant parts and components such as wear-resistant lining plates and pipelines.
Half-cylinders (e.g., 20×10mm half, 20×20 half)	Special-shaped and sized wear-resistant parts.
Connected columns (e.g., 31×31mm and 31×31mm with groove half-cylinders)	Wear-resistant parts requiring connection and fixation.

Other Fields

Cylinders are also widely used in other fields such as machinery manufacturing, electronics, and chemicals. Specifications in these fields are usually determined based on specific application requirements and design specifications.
