ok i need to know how to work out the content in litres of my pond does anyone know the formula to work out the length ,breadth,depth then covert to litres fluid
thanks:confused:

Measure your dimensions in centimetres (LBD), multiply them together and you get a lot of Cubic Centimetres (cc's).
There are 1,000 cc's in 1 litre.

So: Working in Centimetres (LxBxD)/1000 = Volume in Litres

There is 1 litre in 1000 cubic centimetres.

So If you can work out the length, breadth and depth as a total volume, ie. every cubic metre = 1000 litres =1000000 cubic centimetres.

What shape is your pond? If it's circular then it's half the volume of a sphere.

You beat me to it cgksheff:thumbsup:

Or empty it using a litre jug and remember to count! :hihi:

Putting yours another way.
Working in Metres: LxBxD x 1,000 = Volume in Litres

Unless the circle is the top of a cylinder!!! :heyhey:

I have a unit conversion program (freeware) that converts virtually anything. Tell me the length, depth and width in cm/inches/etc and I'll tell you the number of litres/gallons/etc. Or PM me (and anyone else who might be interested) and I'll email you the program.
