Conical Frustum

Download Wolfram Notebook

A conical frustum is a frustum created by slicing the top off a cone (with the cut made
parallel to the base). For a right circular cone, let   be the slant height and   and   the
base and top radii. Then
(1)
The surface area, not including the top and bottom circles, is
(2)
(3)
The volume of the frustum is given by
(4)

But

so

(7)

(8)
This formula can be generalized to any pyramid by letting   be the base areas of the top
and bottom of the frustum. Then the volume can be written as
(9)

The area-weighted integral of   over the frustum is

(10)

(11)
so the geometric centroid is located along the z-axis at a height

(Eshbach 1975, p. 453; Beyer 1987, p. 133; Harris and Stocker 1998, p. 105). The special
case of the cone is given by taking  , yielding  .

Truncated Hollow Cone Calculator


Calculations at a truncated hollow right circular cone. A truncated hollow cone is a hollow
cone with the tip straight cut off within the hollow region, or a truncated cone, of which a smaller,
similar truncated cone is removed from its middle. The base is the larger annulus, the top surface
is the smaller annulus. Enter one outer and one inner radius, the thickness or a further radius and
the height. Choose the number of decimal places, then click Calculate.

Outer base radius (R):


Outer top radius (r):
Inner base radius (S):
Inner top radius (s):
Wall thickness (d):
Height (h):
Surface area (A):
Volume (V):
Surface-to-volume ratio

Round to                     decimal places.

Formulas:
