Use Math To Fabricate A Cylinder Tank
You can use math to fabricate a cylinder tank. Many blue collar industries require math as a basic skill. Knowing math, at a basic level will help you in certain trades like the: welding, electrical, construction, and many many more!
In this instance, I go over a kind of math you could expect to see and use in the welding industry. To use math to figure out dimensions to fabricate a cylinder tank in the welding fabrication. The math is fairly simple.
How Do You Use Math
By using the volume equation of: volume = pie x radius squared x height
You will need two values to find out dimensions on what size to fabricate a cylinder tank.
In this video I use 5,285 gallons as the volume value, 150 inches as the height value & 3.14 as pie.
With those three, you are able to use the volume equation to figure out what the radius equals.
5,285 = 3.14 x r² x 150
You will have to convert the volume (gallons) into cubic inches. Because inches will be the factorable measurement.
1 gallon = 231 in³
5,285 x 231 = 1,220,835 in³
Now you can put it into the volume equation
1,220,835 = 3.14 x r² x 150
You can rearrange the equation to find the missing value of “r”.
r² = 1,220,835/3.14 x 150
Using basic algebra you do: 3.14 x 150 =471. You will then take 1,220,835 and divide it by 471 which will equal 2,592.
That means r² = 2,592. Using basic algebra, you will then need to take the square root of √2,592 which will equal 50.91.
So your radius of the cylinder tank is 50.91 inches.
You now have all the dimensions to fabricate a cylinder tank!
