- Choose Calculate, or enable live updates. Review the result labels and formula assumptions.
- Save scenarios to compare up to five variations, then copy the report or download JSON or CSV.
Example
Radius: 3 cm Straight cylinder length: 10 cm Volume · cm³: 395.84067 Total length · cm: 16 Surface · cm²: 301.59289
Questions & answers
What does Capsule Volume Calculator calculate?
Calculate a cylinder with two hemispherical ends.
Which units should I enter?
Radius uses cm. Straight cylinder length uses cm. Convert values to these units before calculating.
Which formula does it use?
Volume = πr²l + 4πr³/3.
What does the included example show?
Radius: 3 cm; Straight cylinder length: 10 cm. Result: Volume · cm³ = 395.84067; Total length · cm = 16; Surface · cm² = 301.59289.
Can I compare different settings?
Yes. Save a scenario, change the inputs and save another result. Up to five scenarios are compared in this tab; they disappear when you reload or leave.
Can I export the calculation?
Copy the JSON report or download JSON and CSV with inputs, result labels and numeric values. Processing uses local JavaScript; no calculation request is sent to our server. Displayed values use up to 10 significant digits; exports retain JavaScript numeric precision.
