Volume calculation???

Question

I have a complex polymer part for which i need the volume.Pls tell me various methods to calculate volume...as many methods as u can.....thanx in advance...thanx for all....

Answer 1

You have the physical item?  Do you know exactly what material it is made out of?  If you know what it's made out of then you can look up the material density, weigh it, and calculate the volume.  If you don't know what it's made out of then your next best bet is to place the item under water and measure its displacement.  Get a 1 liter beaker (or whatever size is appropriate for your item) and fill it half or 3/4 full of water.  Then, use a thin metal probe to submerge your item in the water, making sure to rotate it so that no air is trapped in any small spaces.  The increase in the volume of water in the beaker is the volume of your item.

Answer 2

Volume and Area of  :

1) Cuboid

    Volume of a Cuboid = (Length X Breadth X Height ) cubic units.

2) Cube

     Volume of a Cube = (Edge)^3 cubic units.

3) Cylinder

     Volume of a Cylinder = ( Area of the base X Height )

    = [ 3.14 X r^2(radius) X l  ] cubic units.

4) Cone

   Volume of a Cone = (1/3 X 3.14 X r^2 X h ) cubic units.

5) Sphere

    Volume of a Sphere = (4/3 X 3.14 X r^3) cubic units.

Answer 3

Got a CAD file? that will give you the volume. Otherwise break it down to simple parts and then add them up.
