Grain Silo Volume with Hopper (Imperial Bushels)

Round Grain Bin with Hopper Capacity US Bushels

The Grain Silo Volume and Weight Calculator with Hopper helps you estimate the total volume and weight of grain stored in a round silo, considering the silo's cylindrical section, hopper at the bottom, and peaked roof. This tool is designed for those managing grain storage and needing to determine how much grain is held within the silo in terms of both volume and weight.

Bushel as Volume Measurement
Imperial ( Avery) bushel has a volume of 1.284349 cubic feet.
Winchester bushel has a volume of 1.244456 cubic feet.
Bushel as a Weight

The weight of a bushel is a measure of the grain's density, usually expressed in pounds per bushel (lb/bu) and kilograms per hectolitre (kg/hL).

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 Imperial 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 kilograms
  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 helps you quickly determine the grain capacity of a round bin with a hopper and the associated grain weight based on input values.
