Approximate contents of cylinders
Diam. Depth Quantity
13/4 in. X 3 in. contains 1 gill.
31/2 in. X 3 in. contains 1 pint.
31/2 in. X 6 in. contains 1 quart.
7 in. X 6 in. contains 1 gallon.
14 in. X 12 in. contains 8 gallons.
14 in. X 15 in. contains 10 gallons.
Number of gallons in square-built tanks
To find the number of gallons in any square or oblong vessel, multiply the number of cubic feet contained in it, by 7.4805; or, to find the contents of a depth not given in this table, multiply the contents of tank one foot deep by the required depth in feet.
For other comparable figures, see page 531; for capacities of silos, pages 473 to 477; for capacities of reservoirs, page 497. Various pipe figures may be found in Chapters XI and XXV.
