Grain Silo Volume and with Hopper (US Bushels)

Round Grain Bin with Hopper Capacity US Bushels

The Grain Silo Volume and Weight Calculator with Hopper is a practical tool for calculating the volume of grain stored in a round grain silo with a conical hopper and a peaked roof. This calculator helps you determine the total storage volume in cubic feet and the weight of the stored grain in US bushels, pounds, kilograms, metric tons, and short tons. The tool is designed for agricultural professionals and farmers needing precise measurements to manage grain storage capacities.

Calculator

  1. enter the diameter of the bin in feet
  2. the height of the bin in feet
  3. the height of the hopper in feet
  4. the slope of the roof preset @ 30°
  5. the weight of one bushel in pounds
  6. checkbox for applying a deduction (if checked, it will apply a deduction of 1.75%)

Results

  1. the height of the peak (roof section) in the silo in feet
  2. the volume of the peaked roof section in cubic feet
  3. the volume of the main cylindrical section of the silo in cubic feet
  4. the volume of the hopper at the bottom of the bin in cubic feet
  5. the total capacity of the grain silo in cubic feet
  6. the amount of grain in US bushels the silo can hold
  7. the total weight of the grain if the silo is filled in pounds
  8. the total weight of the grain in short tons
  9. the total weight of the grain stored in the bin in metric tons

Standard Deduction (1.75%):

In the context of grain storage, the 1.75% standard deduction represents an estimated reduction in storage capacity or weight that accounts for factors such as:
  • Grain Shrinkage
  • Packing and Settling
  • Spillage and Waste
  • Storage Loss
This deduction is commonly applied to provide a more realistic estimate of the actual grain that can be stored or the usable weight after accounting for these factors.

This calculator provides a comprehensive view of the storage capacity and weight of the grain stored in a round grain silo, allowing users to make informed decisions regarding grain storage and transportation..
