Aquarium leak-test level correction calculator

Calculate evaporation-adjusted level loss and evaporation-adjusted volume loss with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use evaporation-adjusted level loss and evaporation-adjusted volume loss to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

Tank initial water level (mm)
300
Tank final water level (mm)
297
Evaporation control initial level (mm)
100
Evaporation control final level (mm)
99
Tank water surface area (m²)

Calculation method

Calculation method

Evaporation-adjusted level loss (mm)

Corrected drop=(tankInitial-tankFinal)-(controlInitial-controlFinal); litres=drop mm×area m².

Evaporation-adjusted volume loss (L)

Corrected drop=(tankInitial-tankFinal)-(controlInitial-controlFinal); litres=drop mm×area m².

Symbols and units
a
Tank initial water level (mm)
b
Tank final water level (mm)
c
Evaporation control initial level (mm)
d

e
Tank water surface area (m²)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Comparable evaporation conditions assumed; signed result may be negative due to measurement error. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints. Comparable evaporation conditions assumed; signed result may be negative due to measurement error.
