K = Cr2L (Tank Constant)
VT = πK (Tank is completely full)
VS = KA
V = VS (Tank is less than half full)
V = VT - VS = VT - KA (Tank is more than half full)
C: Liquid volume conversion factor (0.00433 US gal/in3, 7.48 US gal/ft3, 0.0036 UK gal/in3, 6.23 UK gal/ft3, 0.001 liter/cm3)
r: Radius of tank
L: Length of tank
A: Segment Area of tank
Example: A tank is 5 m long and 2 m in radius. Convert a long meter-scale into a guage that is graduated at 25000 and 50000 liters?
Answer: L = 5, r = 2, C = 1000 liter/m3
K = 1000(2)25 = 20,000 liter
VT = 3.1416*20000 = 62832 liter
Full volume = 62832
Halfway point volume = 62832/2 = 31416
VS = KA, A = VS/K
A25000 = 25000/20000 = 1.25 (25000 < 31416)
V = VT - KA, A = (VT - V)/K
A50000 = (62800 - 50000)/20000 = 0.64 (50000 > 31416)
