My brother in law made me a custom turkey fryer/ mini crawfish boiler, complete with built in temp gauge, from 13 in stainless pipe that was "acquired" from the repair shop in an un-named paper mill. My question is on the vloume it can hold

it is approximately 13" inner diameter by 16" tall.

How many gallons of liquid will it hold?

So you want to know how much water you can hold or how much crawfish you can boil? Because thats a half sack pot with veggies.

Like 36 qts I think. So like 18 qts if you're putting stuff in it to boil and don't want it to overflow.

How much can it hold total. Whether a turkey or crawfish i know I have to fill it less than full.

So you are trying to figure out the total volume of a cylinder 16” high with a diameter of 13” even though you will never fill it?

On another note, don’t do any crazy temperature cycling on that bottom weld. Water inside will help you. Just don’t dump it hot then dunk it in ice. You’ll crack from the HAZ.

You need a milk jug. Too complex to calculate.

If only there was a mathematical formula for volume of a cylinder.
