Spherical Cap Volume Calculator
Compute the volume of a spherical cap: V = (πh²/3)(3r − h).
Input Data
Radius of the original sphere.
Height of the cap (h ≤ 2r).
Results
54.4543
Spherical cap volume = 54.4543.
At a glance:Spherical cap volume V = (πh²/3)(3r − h), r is the sphere radius and h the cap height.
Formula
V = (πh²/3)(3r − h).
How to Use
- Enter sphere radius r and cap height h.
- The tool returns cap volume V.
Case Studies
r=5, h=2 → 54.45
V = (π·4/3)(15−2) ≈ 54.45.
FAQ
h=2r?
That is the full sphere, V = (4/3)πr³.
Versus sphere volume?
This is a portion of the sphere.
