Hollow Cylinder (Tube) Calculator — free online calculator.

Formula

V = πh(R²−r²); Outer = 2πRh; Inner = 2πrh; Top+Bottom = 2π(R²−r²); Total = all four
  • Hollow Cylinder (Tube) Calculator calculates its result from Pih R 2, R 2, Pirh, Rate (decimal), All Four. It uses the formula V = πh(R²−r²); Outer = 2πRh; Inner = 2πrh; Top+Bottom = 2π(R²−r²); Total = all four. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
  • The main inputs are Outer Radius, Inner Radius, Height. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
  • Keep comparable quantities in compatible units whenever the formula combines or compares them.
  • Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.

Example: Hollow Cylinder (Tube)

Inputs
  • Outer Radius: 5
  • Inner Radius: 3
  • Height: 10

Using Pih R 2 = 2, R 2 = 3, Pirh = 4, Rate (decimal) = 0.05, All Four = 6, the calculated result is 6.
