Diameter of a Cylinder Calculator

Your details

Pick which known measurements you have. The diameter and related geometry are calculated from those.
The total interior volume of the cylinder.
cm³
The length or height of the cylinder along its axis.
cm
Diameter
10cm

The full width of the circular face (2 x radius)

Radius5cm
Circumference31.416cm
Volume785.4cm³
Lateral surface area314.1596cm²
Total surface area471.2396cm²

Diameter is 10.0000.

  • The radius is exactly half the diameter: 5.0000.
  • The circumference of the circular face is pi x diameter = 31.4160.
  • Volume uses pi x r^2 x height. A 1% increase in diameter raises volume by about 2%, since radius appears squared.
  • Total surface area covers the curved side and both circular bases: 471.2396.

Next stepUse the diameter to size pipes, tanks, containers, or cylindrical structural members. For hollow cylinders, you need both inner and outer diameters.
