Metric Conical Pile Volume and Number of Bushels

Grain Volume in a Conical Pile

The Metric Conical Pile Volume and Bushel Calculator calculates the volume of a conical pile using the base diameter and height provided in metres. The calculator provides results in cubic metres, litres, US bushels, and Imperial bushels. This is useful in agricultural settings, helping to determine the volume of grain or similar materials stored in conical piles and converting it into practical measurements such as bushels for storage or transport.

Results:

Volume in Cubic Metres
Volume in Cubic Feet ft³
Capacity in Litres L
Imperial Bushels bu Imp
US Bushels bu US

Calculator

  1. enter the diameter at the base of the pile in metres
  2. the height of the pile in the center

Results

  1. volume of the pile in cubic metres
  2. volume of the pile in cubic feet
  3. capacity of the pile in litres
  4. the number of Imperial (Avery) Bushels
  5. the number of US (Winchester) Bushels

Conversions
one cubic metre (m³)  =  1000 litres (L)
one litre (L) = 0.0353146667214886 cubic feet (ft³)
one litre (L) = 0.027496156037386 bushels (bu) Imperial
one litre (L) = 0.0283775932584017 bushels (bu) US

Example Calculation

Diameter D = 13.4 m
Height H = 6.7 m
Radius:
r = 13.42 / 2 = 6.7 m
Volume
V =1/3 * π * r² * H
V = 1/3 * 3.14159 * (6.7)² * 6.7
V = 1/3 * 3.14159 * 44.89 * 6.7
V = 1/3 * 942.19
V = 314.96 m³
The volume of the conical pile, which has a diameter of 13.4 metres and a height of 6.7 meters, is approximately 314.96 m³.
Bushel Calculations:
US Bushels: one US bushel is approximately 35.2391 litres (1 cubic metre = 1,000 litres).
US Bushels = 314.96 * 1000 ÷ 35.2391 = 8936.47 bu US
Imperial Bushels: one Imperial bushel is approximately 36.3687 litres.
Imperial Bushels = 314.96 * 1000  ÷ 36.3687  = 8662.50 bu Imp
Results:
The volume of the conical pile is 314.96 cubic meters.
The pile holds approximately 8936.47 US bushels.
The pile holds approximately 8662.50 Imperial bushels.

This calculator is valuable for farmers, grain handlers, and anyone involved in storage or transportation. It allows for efficient measurement and conversion of conical pile volumes.
