Beer, not rocket chemistry
The youth director at the church is a math wiz and so I asked her about this. She did her magic and made me a spreadsheet. So, I now have a really cool Excel spreadsheet that figures this out. It is set up so you enter the desired volume in US ounces, the cylinder's radius in either cm or mm (metric is easier to use, even tenths and all) and it will tell you the depth you need to obtain your volume.
This means that I can use a metric ruler as a gauge for brewing volumns. Say I have a known amount of liquid in my HLT and want 12 quarts into my mash tun. By using a metric ruler I can know what has been transferred.
AND here it is:
