UNDERSTANDING PLANTER VOLUME CALCULATIONS
VOLUME MEASUREMENTS & CONVERSIONS
Standard Volume Units:
Litres (International):
- 1 litre = 1,000 cubic centimeters
- Common in Europe and Canada
- Used in the planter volume guide specifications
- Easier metric conversions
Gallons (USA):
- 1 US gallon = 3.785 litres
- Standard in American planter sizing
- Most planter pricing in the USA uses gallons
- Less precise than litres
Cubic Inches (USA Alternative):
- 1 cubic inch = 16.387 cubic centimeters
- Used for rectangular planter sizing
- Common in dimensional specifications
- Less intuitive for volume
Conversion Chart:
Litres to Gallons:
- 1 liter = 0.264 gallons
- 2 liters = 0.528 gallons
- 5 liters = 1.32 gallons
- 10 liters = 2.64 gallons
- 20 liters = 5.28 gallons
- 50 liters = 13.2 gallons
Gallons to Litres:
- 1 gallon = 3.785 liters
- 2 gallons = 7.57 liters
- 5 gallons = 18.93 liters
- 10 gallons = 37.85 liters
CALCULATING PLANTER VOLUME
For Cylindrical Planters:
Formula: V = π × r² × h
Where:
- V = Volume
- π = 3.14159
- r = radius (diameter ÷ 2)
- h = hePlanter Planter
Example Calculation:
- Planter diameter: 8 inches
- Planter height: 8 inches
- Radius: 4 inches
- Volume = 3.14 × 4² × 8
- Volume = 3.14 × 16 × 8
- Volume = 401 cubic inches
- Volume = 6.6 liters or 1.74 gallons
For Rectangular Planters:
Formula: V = length × width × height
Example Calculation:
- Length: 24 inches
- Width: 12 inches
- Height: 12 inches
- Volume = 24 × 12 × 12
- Volume = 3,456 cubic inches
- Volume = 56.6 liters or 15 gallons
Quick Reference Cubic Inch to Litre:
- Divide cubic inches by 61.024 = litres
- Example: 401 cubic inches ÷ 61.024 = 6.57 litres
