Bill, Is this a troll to find out who the lurking geeks are ;-) If you have a bathroom scale... 1) Empty your cylinder and put it on a scale. 2) Record the empty weight 3) Fill it with water 4) Record the full weight. 5) Subtract empty weight from full weight to get weight of H20 8) Multiply the weight of H20 by 0.0161 to get cubic feet. Don't have a scale, but your wife has some leftover gallon jugs? 1) Fill the cylinder with water 2) Pour it into the gallon jugs (without spilling any) 3) Write down number of gallons 4) multiply number of gallons by .1337 to get cubic feet. Don't trust my math? (I certainly wouldn't if I were you since its 11:00PM and I have had dinner and a couple of glasses of wine) h20 @ 60F is 8.238 LB/Gallon 1 Gallon = 3.785412 E-3 cubic meters 1 cubic foot = 2.831685 E-2 cubic meters Good luck, Don W. bigvon@be*.ne* wrote: > > Does anyone know a method or formula for determining the cubic foot ( sorry I am > not into metric) volume of a cylinder by filling it with water? > I seem to remember a discussion on this some time ago.
