About this Tool

What this tool does: This Sump Capacity Calculator accurately estimates the water storage capacity of sump tanks in liters. Users can input dimensions for either a rectangular or cylindrical tank to quickly determine how much water the sump can hold.

How this tool works: After choosing the sump shape, users enter the tank's dimensions in feet—length, width, and height for rectangular tanks, or diameter and height for cylindrical tanks. The calculator then uses appropriate volume formulas and converts cubic feet to liters.

Calculation formulas:

For Rectangular Tank:
Volume (cu.ft) = Length × Width × Height



For Cylindrical Tank:
Volume (cu.ft) = π × (Diameter / 2)² × Height



Conversion:
1 cubic foot = 28.3168 liters

The tool performs the volume calculation in cubic feet then multiplies by 28.3168 to convert to liters, providing an accurate water capacity estimate.
