Standing Water Volume
Gallons, ft^3, and weight from affected area and depth.
Example
You enter
- Affected area (ft²) 500
- Standing depth (in) 1
You get
- Volume 311.7 gal
- Cubic feet 41.67 ft^3
- Weight 2600 lb
Details, formula, and sources
Volume = L × W × D for rectangular footprints; pool / partial-floor variants resolved geometrically. 1 ft³ water = 7.4805 gal × 8.34 lb/gal = 62.4 lb (room-temperature water).
Classical geometry; physical-fact density of water (62.4 lb/ft³ at 60 °F).
