Calculation of Volume for a Horizontal Tank with Spherical Ends as a function of the depth of the fluid inside.

For your reference:

Volume = (pi*L*D^2 / 1440)*[Theta - sin(Theta)] + (pi*h^2 / 3)*(3D/2 - h)

Where: Theta = 2 * Acos(1 - 2h/D)

Units:
L, length (inches)
D, diameter (inches)
h, liquid height (inches)
Theta, Degrees
Volume, Cubic Inches

I hope this can be of service to you.
