- Tank water surface area (cm²)
- 4000
- Shutdown level drop (cm)
- 2
- Return pipe internal volume (L)
- 3
- Drain-down volume (L)
- 11
Try another scenario
- Tank water surface area (cm²)
- 4400
- Shutdown level drop (cm)
- 2
- Return pipe internal volume (L)
- 3
- Drain-down volume (L)
- 11.8
Calculation method
Calculation method
Drain-down volume (L)
Volume=surfaceArea×drop/1000+pipeVolume.
Symbols and units

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
- All entered pipe volume assumed to drain; actual siphon behavior must be measured. 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.
