Calculator

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

Results

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

Conversions

one cubic metre (m³)  =  1000 litres (L)
one cubic foot (ft³) = 28.316846592 litres (L)
one cubic foot (ft³) = 0.803563954948334 bushels (bu) US
one cubic foot (ft³) = 0.778604432380354 bushels (bu) Imperial

Example Calculation

Diameter D = 26 ft
Height H = 14 ft

Calculate the radius:

r = 26 ÷ 2 = 13 ft

Apply the formula:

V = 1/3 * π * r² * H

V =  1/3 *  3.14159 * 13² * 14
V = 1/3 * 3.14159 * 169 * 14
V = 1/3 * 3.14159 * 2366
V = 1/3 * 7430.007
V = 2476.67 ft³

The volume of the conical pile, which has a diameter of 26 feet and a height of 14 feet, is approximately 2,476.67 cubic feet.

Bushel Calculations

US Bushels:

1 US bushel is equal to 1.2445 cubic feet.

US Bushels  =  2476.67 ÷ 1.2445 = 1,990.68 bu US

Imperial Bushels:

1 Imperial bushel is equal to 1.2843 cubic feet.

Imperial Bushels = 2,476.67 ÷ 1.2843 ≈ 1,928.98

Results:

The volume of the conical pile is 2,476.67 cubic feet.
The pile holds approximately 1,990.68 US bushels.
The pile holds approximately 1,928.98 Imperial bushels.
