In measuring a cylinder, the diameter should generally be measured more carefully than the length. This is because the diameter affects the cylinder's volume and surface area calculations, which are critical in many applications. Any error in the diameter measurement can significantly impact the overall accuracy of the cylinder's properties. Additionally, the diameter is often more challenging to measure accurately due to potential variations and the need for precise tools.

A cylinder with a 34cm diameter and 42cm height has a volume of 38,133 cubic centimeters.
The diameter of a pipe is its width across an open end of the pipe. The inside diameter is the width measuring on the inside of the pipe; the outside diameter is the width measuring on the outside.______________________________________________________________________________________________________For a pipe of circular cross section, its nominal diameter is the diameter of the cross section.The inner diameter is the measuring on the inside of the pipeThe outside diameter is the measuring on the outside of the pipe.
Calipers are used to measure the dimension of anarticle. In measuring a section of pipe you would use an inside caliper to give the internal diameter, and an outside caliper to give the external diameter. The difference being the thickness of the pipe wall.
You cannot calculate the amount of volume (gallon) that an object can hold without a third dimension. Currently you only have two.
A cylinder measuring 12-ft high and 4-ft diameter has a capacity of 1,128 gallons. (rounded)We have no way of knowing how much water is in it. The well may dry, full of debris,or completely empty.
