Draw a straight line through the two known 

 points. The answer will be found at the 

 intersection of this line with the third scale. 

 In reading the answer on the volume scale, 

 shift decimal point on volume scale two places 

 for one-place shift on diameter scale, and 

 one place for one-place shift on height scale. 



Example: Diameter of tank is 4 ft. Depth 

 of liquid is 2.5 ft. Volume as read is 230 gal. 

 If diameter of tank is 0.4 ft. and depth 2.5 ft., 

 volume is 2.3 gal.
