Another Volume Question

[A/A Fuel GTX]

I have a tank that measures 38" X 14" X 24". How many gallons of water would this vessel hold and what would the weight be? TIA

I found this volume calculator with google....http://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/construction/tank.php for square tanks I found thishttp://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/waterops/redesign/calculators/volcalchtm.htm

Whatever volume you come up with water weighs 8.33 pounds/gallon

55.3 US Gallons

461.3 lbs. @ 4?C

38 in X 14 in X 24 in = 0.9652 meter X 0.3556 m X 0.6096 m

= 0.20923 cubic meters = 209.23 liters = 55.273 gallons

= 209.23 liters X 1 kilogram water = 209.23 kgs = 461.3 lbs


the roundabout way

0.004329 G/in?
0.036127 lb/in?

These conversion factors will get you close in the future...

Smart Why use 4 C ? 4 C = 39 F. I always thought 68 F =(20 C) was the standard temperature.

Water has the maximum density at 4C. Cool it or warm it, it will expand.
