How to calculate a volume in a 2D-Axissymmetric modeling ?

How can I correctly calculate the volume (changing in time) of a 3D Cylinder by means of a 2D-Axissymmetric modeling ?

A multiplication of the integral of the area of the 2D cross-section with Pi and with the instant maximum radius of the body might help. But even if this would work ... Then: How is the name of the appropriate "r" variable?

Some helpful hint follows from
www.comsol.com/community/forums/general/thread/42791/
I have to check a checkbox, to make COMSOL realize, that I truely want the 3D volume, when I calculate 2D-axissymmetric model.

Something remains unclear:
When I use the Gauss-Formula for the volume, using the surface-integral
Volume = SurfaceIntegral(r*solid.nr)
I get twice the true volume as the result.

How do I have to modify this formula to calculate correct results?
