Measuring internal volume accurately (1 Viewer)

[AlexKunec]

Say i have a 3cu ft internal volume enclosure. I put a 3"dia 27"long port. Do I have to deduct all of the volume occupied by the port including the air inside the port, or do I just deduct the volume occupied by the thickness of the walls of the port?

The port itself and all the air inside it. Just use the volume of a cylinder forumla on the outer diameter of the port.

Alex,

Yes. OK just kidding. You treat the port as if it were a completely solid object, so that's all of the internal volume taken up by the port.
