Need Volume vs. Height Calc Method
Need Volume vs. Height Calc Method
(OP)
Anybody know a simple calc or online tool I can use to find the exact height from the bottom of a pressure vessel that a certain percentage of volume is contained?
ie. I need to find 80, 85 & 90% fill heights on 90 - 140 cm dia tanks. I am designing some overfill protection devices and could use a good tool to determine these heights.
(heads are semi-circular, and length varies...values will be a function of diameter and fill percentage only)
Thanks in advance for any help, this is my first post!!!

f(Zc) = (? ? sin (? ) x cos (? ))/Pi
F(Zc) is the partial volume factor. If you put the hieght at 5 Meters on a 10 meter tank you will gwt .5 as F(zc)
? = 2* Atan( H/(sqrt(2*H*D/2)-H^2)) H is partial hieght and D is total diameter.
This is just for the cylinder.
I also found an excel spreadsheet title calibtx.xls on a shareware site.
