Our program below will calculate the volume in litres of a Tetrahedron
Measure the three sides of the base triangle in metres. These are notated
below as side
a, side b and side c.
Input the measurements of side a, b and c in the fields below as metres, ie 1.2
metres
Measure the height of the top of the tetrahedron from the base in metres,
ensure that you are not measuring the length of one of the sides,
it must
be the height from apex of the top, to the tetrahedrons base.
This may take a few people to do!
Just enter the height (h) of the tetrahedron in metres also.
Press the Calculate Volume button and you will get the volume.
Remember 1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogram, so this also is the weight of the
payload.
Warning!
Please
use this as a guide.
This calculator assumes that the sides are flat.
A tank will bloat there by allowing a higher final volume.
It also gives the total volume of the tetrahedron,
it does not account if the fill point is lower than the top as you probably will
not be able to fill past it.
We
strongly recommend that you confirm actual weights and measures before you rely
on this guide.
Try playing around with small changes in the measurements and you will see how
much it can effect the total volume!
