Frequently Asked Questions
Use the formula V = π × r² × h, where r is the radius of the circular base and h is the height. Simply enter your radius and height values into our calculator, select your preferred units, and get an instant result.
A solid cylinder is completely filled — like a can or a log. A hollow cylinder has an empty space inside — like a pipe or a tube. The volume of a hollow cylinder is calculated by subtracting the inner cylinder's volume from the outer cylinder's volume: V = π × h × (R² − r²).
Yes! Our calculator supports both radius and diameter inputs. If you enter a radius, the diameter is auto-calculated (and vice versa). Remember that diameter = 2 × radius.
We support a wide range of length units (mm, cm, m, km, inches, feet, yards) and volume units (mm³, cm³, dm³, m³, in³, ft³, yd³, milliliters, liters, US gallons, UK gallons, and US fluid ounces). You can mix and match input units — the calculator handles all conversions automatically.
Our calculator uses JavaScript's full double-precision floating-point arithmetic with π accurate to 15+ decimal places. Results are displayed to 4 significant figures by default, which is more than sufficient for engineering, academic, and everyday use.
Yes, the Cylindrical Volume Calculator is completely free with no signup required. Use it as much as you need for personal, educational, or professional purposes.
For a solid cylinder: V = π × r² × h. For a hollow cylinder: V = π × h × (R² − r²), where R is the external radius and r is the internal radius. The calculator also computes surface area and lateral area.
Use our free cylindrical volume calculator to instantly compute the volume of solid and hollow cylinders. Enter height and radius (or diameter), pick your units, and get accurate results in real time. Perfect for students, engineers, and professionals.
