Volume of Solid Calculator Form

Choose a solid, enter dimensions, and calculate volume in one step. The grid below uses three columns on large screens, two on medium, and one on mobile.

Pick the geometric solid you want to evaluate.
All length fields use this unit.
Use quantity for repeated identical solids.
Adds estimated mass from the calculated total volume.

Formula Used

Cube
V = a³
Cuboid
V = l × w × h
Sphere
V = (4/3)πr³
Cylinder
V = πr²h
Cone
V = (1/3)πr²h
Frustum of Cone
V = (1/3)πh(R² + Rr + r²)
Rectangular Pyramid
V = (1/3) × base length × base width × height
Prism from Base Area
V = base area × height
Ellipsoid
V = (4/3)πabc
Torus
V = 2π²Rr²

All dimensions are treated in the selected input unit. Output volume is shown in the corresponding cubic unit, plus metric conversion and liters.

FAQs

1. Which solids are supported here?

The calculator supports cube, cuboid, sphere, cylinder, cone, frustum of a cone, rectangular pyramid, prism from known base area, ellipsoid, and torus.

2. What unit does the result use?

The main result uses the cubic version of your chosen input unit, such as cm³ or ft³. It also shows total volume in m³ and liters.

3. Why is there a quantity field?

Quantity multiplies the single-solid volume by the number of identical pieces. This helps when estimating storage, packaging, casting, or production totals.

4. How is the mass estimate calculated?

If density is supplied in kilograms per cubic meter, the calculator converts total volume to cubic meters and multiplies it by density.

5. What does the graph show?

The Plotly graph shows how volume changes when every linear dimension is scaled from 0.5× to 1.5×. It highlights the cubic growth pattern.

6. Can I use decimal values?

Yes. All dimension fields accept decimals, which is useful for precise measurements in design, machining, laboratory work, or classroom problems.

7. Why must torus major radius exceed minor radius?

A standard ring torus needs the major radius larger than the minor radius. Otherwise, the shape definition becomes invalid for this calculator.

8. Can I export the result?

Yes. The result section includes CSV export for tabular values and PDF export for a clean printable snapshot of the result and chart.
