Spherical Cap Volume Calculator
Calculate spherical cap volume, curved surface area, base radius, and total area from sphere radius, cap height, or base radius.
Spherical cap volume
English SERP language favors spherical cap for a one-plane slice of a sphere. The calculator therefore uses sphere radius, cap height, and base radius rather than a literal translation of the Russian spherical segment wording.
R is the sphere radius and h is the cap height.
a is the base radius of the circular cut.
Input modes and outputs
| Known values | Output |
|---|---|
| Sphere radius and cap height | Volume, base radius, curved area, and total area. |
| Base radius and cap height | Sphere radius plus the cap outputs. |
| Sphere radius and base radius | Cap height plus the cap outputs. |
