Key facts

cubic feet = square feet × depth (ft)
square feet = cubic feet ÷ depth (ft)

Depth in inches

Divide inches by 12 to get feet: 4 inches is 1/3 ft, so 120 sq ft at 4 in is 40 cu ft.

Limitations

  • Material densities are typical values (the midpoint of the commonly published range); real loads vary with moisture, grading and compaction, so check with your supplier or type in their density.
  • Tank results are the geometric volume; real tanks have wall thickness and fittings.
