Rectangle (Square) Grain Bin Capacity

Rectangle Grain Bin

The Rectangle Grain Bin Capacity Calculator helps determine a rectangular grain bin's total volume and bushel capacity, including the peak height and volume from a sloped roof. This calculator provides results in cubic feet, and US and Imperial bushels.

Bin Width ft
Bin Length ft
Bin Side Wall Height ft
Roof Slope 12

Results:

Peak Height ft
Peak Volume ft³
Bin Volume ft³
Total Volume ft³
Capacity in US Bushels bu US
Capacity in Imperial Bushels bu Imp

Calculator

  1. enter the width of the bin in feet
  2. the length in feet
  3. the height of the sidewall in feet
  4. the pitch of the roof (preset @ 6:12)

Result

  1. the height of the peak in feet
  2. the volume of the peak in cubic feet
  3. the volume of the bin (floor to sidewall height) in cubic feet
  4. total volume (rectangle bin + peak) in cubic feet
  5. the bin's capacity in US bushels
  6. the bin's capacity in Imperial bushels

Formulas
V= W*L*H
PV= W*L*PH/2 = PV
where V is the volume
W the width of the bin
L the bin length
PH is the peak height
PV is the volume of the peak
Conversions
One US bushel (bu US) = 1.244456 cubic feet (ft³)
One Imperial bushel (bu Imperial) = 1.284349 cubic feet (ft³)

This calculator is an essential tool for determining the capacity of a rectangular grain bin. It provides precise results in both US and Imperial units.
