About Volume of Hollow Cylinder

The Volume of Hollow Cylinder Calculator quickly computes the space within a cylindrical shell using its inner and outer diameters and the height. It’s handy for students, teachers, and professionals in engineering, construction, manufacturing, and design.

What is a Hollow Cylinder?

A hollow cylinder (cylindrical shell) has two concentric circular boundaries connected by a curved surface—think pipes, tubes, and straws. The volume reported here is the space inside the material forming the shell.

Everyday examples:

Plumbing – Water pipes and tubes.

Construction – Hollow pillars and supports.

Manufacturing – Metal and plastic pipes.

Everyday Use – Straws and containers.

Formula for Volume of a Hollow Cylinder

Use the standard formula:

Volume = π × h × (R² − r²)

Where R is the outer radius, r is the inner radius, h is the height, and π ≈ 3.1416.

Example Calculation

For R = 7 cm, r = 5 cm, and h = 10 cm:

Volume = π × 10 × (7² − 5²)
= π × 10 × (49 − 25)
= π × 240
≈ 753.98 cm³
