Round Grain Silo Volume and Weight - Metric
The Grain Silo Volume and Weight Calculator (Metric) allows you to calculate the volume and weight of grain stored in a silo using metric measurements. This calculator computes total grain volume based on the silo's diameter, height, hopper height, and roof slope. It provides results in cubic meters, cubic feet, hectoliters, US bushels, Imperial bushels, kilograms, and metric tons. Optionally apply a 1.75% deduction for standard grain handling loss.
Grain Silo Volume and Weight Calculator (Metric)
Calculator
- the internal diameter of the silo in metres
- the height of the cylindrical portion of the silo in metres
- the height of the conical bottom section of the silo (if applicable) in metres
- the angle of the roof slope in degrees (preset @ 30°)
- the weight of one bushel in kilograms per hectolitre
- checkbox for applying a deduction (if checked, it will apply a deduction of 1.75%)
Results
- the weight of one US bushel in pounds
- the weight of one Imperial bushel in pounds
- the height of the roof peak section in metres
- the total capacity of grain in number of US bushels
- the total capacity of grain in the Imperial bushels
- the total silo's volume in cubic metres
- the total silo's volume in hectolitres
- the total silo's volume in cubic feet
- the total weight of the grain in pounds, kilograms, metric tons, and short the total weight of the grain in kilograms
- the total weight of the grain in metric tons
- the total weight of the grain in short 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 calculator is ideal for farmers and grain storage operators looking to estimate the capacity and weight of stored grain in metric units.
