For a round tank you must find the volume of the tank - V (cubic ft) = pi x radius squared x the depth or height of the tank. The radius and the depth are in feet.

Next take the volume x 7.47 = Gallons of water in the tank

The weight of the tank is the weight of the water x 8.4

example: A water tank that is 2 ft. in diameter and has a height of 5 ft.

The radius is 1/2 of the diameter.

V = 3.1416 x 1 x 5 = 15.708

15.708 x 7.47 = 117.34

117.34 x 8.4 = 986# approx.

What weight would a 6ft long x 2 ft high x 18inches wide fish tank be if filled 3 quarters full?

6-ft x 2-ft x 1.5-ft = 18 cubic feet. If the tank were 3/4 full, then it would contain 13.5 cubic feet of something. Its weight would be the weight of the tank plus the weight of the contents. We have no way of knowing the weight of the tank. The weight of the contents depends on what substance the tank is 3/4 full of. If water, the weight of the contents is about 842.8 pounds! (rounded)

Is the boiler expansion tank full of water?

The boiler expansion tank should not be full of water. It should have a mix of water and air to allow for expansion and contraction of the water in the system. If the tank is full of water, it may indicate a problem with the tank or the system.


The sg of liquid y is 0.8 and a full tank of this liquid weighs 500 lbs If the tank is emptied and filled with water how much does the water weigh?

Suppose the weight of the tank is T pounds. Then the weight of the liquid is (500 - T) pounds. The same volume of water will weight (500 - T)/0.8 = 1.25*(500 - T) pounds = 625 + 1.25T pounds.


What is the weight of a 30 gallon fish tank full of water?

If the tank is actually filled to the brim (tanks never are) the water would weigh 8.35lbs x 30gallons which is 250.5 lbs. To obtain an accurate total weight you would have to add in the weight of the sand/gravel substrate, and the rocks (decore) and the weight of the empty tank. Then you would subtract the weight of the top 1 inch or so that is always left empty.


Will a tank full of water and a tank filled with water and fish swimming weigh the same on a scale?

That depends on the weight of the fish as compared to the weight of the water their bodies displace. If it's a heavy, dense fish, then the tank with the fish would weigh more. If it's a light, less dense fish, then the tank with water only would weigh more. This assumes that the water displaced has been removed from the tank, right? If you are adding the fish to the water then I think it should increase the weight regardless of the density of your fish. The question then might be, does the fish weigh less when it is swimming than it would on a dry scale?


The amount of water flowing into a tank doubles every minute when was the tank half full?

If the amount of water flowing into the tank doubles every minute, then the tank was half full one minute before it became full. Therefore, if the tank is full at a certain time, it was half full just one minute prior to that time.


How can I determine if my hot water heater is full?

To determine if your hot water heater is full, you can check the water level gauge on the side of the tank. If the gauge indicates that the tank is full, then your hot water heater is full. You can also listen for a gurgling sound when the tank is filling up, which indicates that it is reaching capacity.
