    Containers have a maximum capacity measured in volume, not weight, since different materials have different densities. For example, a tank with a capacity of 7,900,000 L cannot hold the same weight of 7,200 t of both fuel oil and naphtha, because naphtha has a lower density and would occupy more volume. Integral calculus is used to calculate volumes, such as finding the volume of a solid generated by rotating a plane curve around an axis.

    Capacity and volume[edit]

    Capacity is the maximum amount of material that a container can hold, measured in
    volume or weight. However, the contained volume does not need to fill towards the
    container's capacity, or vice versa. Containers can only hold a specific amount of
    physical volume, not weight (excluding practical concerns). For example, a 50,000 bbl
    (7,900,000 L) tank that can just hold 7,200 t (15,900,000 lb) of fuel oil will not be able to
    contain the same 7,200 t (15,900,000 lb) of naphtha, due to naphtha's lower density and
    thus larger volume.[3]: 390–391

    Integral calculus[edit]

    Illustration of a solid of revolution, which the volume of rotated g(x) subtracts the volume of rotated
    f(x).

    The calculation of volume is a vital part of integral calculus. One of which is calculating
    the volume of solids of revolution, by rotating a plane curve around a line on the same
    plane. The washer or disc integration method is used when integrating by an axis parallel
    to the axis of rotation. The general equation can be written as:
