Volume in the units you measured
V = π × (diameter ÷ 2) to the power of 2 × height
π × (48 ÷ 2) to the power of 2 × 60 = 108,573.4421 in³
US gallons (1 gal = 231 in³)
gal = V ÷ (in³ per US gallon)
108,573.4421 ÷ 231 = 470.01 US gal
How it works
Vertical cylinder = π r² h · rectangle = l × w × h · horizontal cylinder fill = length × (r² acos((r − d) ÷ r) − (r − d)√(2rd − d²)); 1 US gal = 231 in³
