User Guide
This online tool calculates the volume of a rectangular shaped box, solid or space from the dimensions of length, width and height. There is no need to input values in the same measurement units, just select your preferred units for each dimension and calculated volume.
Once the measurements have been entered for length, width and height, the calculated volume will be shown in the answer box. Also a graphic will be shown of a scaled 3D drawing to the correct proportions and labelled with each dimension and calculated volume.
Formula
The formula used by this calculator to calculate the volume of a rectangular shaped object is:
V = L · W · H
Symbols
- V = Volume
- L = Length
- W = Width
- H = Height

25 x 10 x 12 inch tank in US gallons
How many US gallons will a 10 inchs wide 12 inchs high and 25 inchs long tank hold?
Assuming internal dimensions or no wall thickness, the volume of the tank is 12.987013 US Gallons.
Measuring for a Pallet Cover
1) Measure the width, depth and height of the pallet to be covered. The depth should be the shorter side.
2) To determine the Width (W) of the cover, add 1”-2” to the width of the pallet.
3) To determine the Depth (D) of the cover, add 1”-2” to the depth of the pallet.
4) The Length (L) of the cover is determined by adding _ of the depth to the height.
Example: If the pallet size is 40” (wide) x 36” (deep) x 50” (high), the cover dimensions are as follows: Width (W) is 42” Depth (D) is 38” Length (L) is 68”
