Water Volume by Height of Cylindrical Vessel

Thanks, but I don't get the servo attendant remark. Maybe I am too young for this?

Ever seen how they check the amount of petrol they have left at the servo ??? Its an exact up sized version of what you suggested.

measure the depth of the pot and divide it by how many litres.

Ha! My scientific brain instantly went to the equation for the volume of a cylinder and missed the simple option. Way to over complicate things, me.

If the area of your base was 1 square metre then i millimetre of depth would equal 1 litre
Area of your base is .14521998 M2 so 1 divided by .14521998 = 6.886.
Therefore one litre of liquid will be 6.886 millimetres deep.
I am sure you can work it out from there.

Each mm of liquid in your 430mm dia pot will be .1452 of a litre. So wash your stainless rule measure the height of your liquid in mm X .1452 answer in liters.Don't forget the point before the number.
