Cylinder Volume Calculator

    Calculate cylinder volume, liters, base area, lateral area, and total surface area from radius or diameter and height, with reverse modes.

    Use one unit for all linear dimensions. The result includes cubic units, liters, and surface-area outputs.

    Cylinder volume from radius and height

    English calculator pages usually support both radius and diameter because real measurements often give full width. This page also converts the geometric volume to liters for capacity-style tasks.

    r is radius and h is height.

    Diameter is twice the radius.

    Outputs

    OutputUse
    VolumeGeometric space in cubic units.
    LitersCapacity conversion for metric volume.
    Base areaArea of one circular base.
    Lateral areaArea around the side.
    Total surface areaBoth bases plus the side.
    For a pipe or hollow cylinder, use a hollow-cylinder model with inner and outer radii.
