Formula
The Capsule Volume Calculator uses the formula:
Volume = 3.141592653589793 × Radius ^ 2 × Cylinder height (between hemispheres) + (4 ÷ 3) × 3.141592653589793 × Radius ^ 3
Worked example
For example, with radius of 2 and cylinder height (between hemispheres) of 10, the volume is 159.1740.
| Radius | 2 |
|---|---|
| Cylinder height (between hemispheres) | 10 |
| Volume | 159.1740 |
|---|---|
| Surface area | 175.9292 |

Key terms explained
- Surface area
- The total area of all the outer faces of a three-dimensional object.
- Radius

Frequently asked questions
A capsule is a cylinder with a hemisphere capping each end, like a medicine pill or a pressure tank.
Add the cylinder volume πr²h to a full sphere (4/3 πr³), since two hemispheres make one sphere.
It is the straight middle section between the two hemispherical ends, not the overall length.
The total length equals the cylinder height plus twice the radius, since each hemisphere adds one radius.
Enter the radius. Enter the cylinder height (between hemispheres). Read off your volume, together with surface area — the calculator updates automatically, with no button to press.
