Cylinder Volume Calculator
Quickly find the volume of any cylinder or pipe using the radius and height.
Understanding Cylinder Volume
A cylinder is a 3D shape with two parallel circular bases of equal size. The volume of a cylinder measures how much liquid or space is contained within these bounds.
Standard Formula
V = πr²hr is radius, h is height
Base Area Method
V = A × hA is the area of the circular base
Examples
Radius 2cm, Height 10cm
1r = 2, h = 10
2V = π(2)²(10)
3V = π(4)(10)
4V = 40π ≈ 125.66 cm³
Frequently Asked Questions
Does orientation matter?
No. Whether the cylinder is horizontal or vertical, the volume formula stays V = πr²h.
How to find volume from diameter?
Divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius, then apply the standard formula.
