Rectangle (Square) Grain Bin Capacity
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.
Rectangle Grain Bin Calculator
Calculator
- enter the width of the bin in feet
- the length in feet
- the height of the sidewall in feet
- the pitch of the roof (preset @ 6:12)
Result
- the height of the peak in feet
- the volume of the peak in cubic feet
- the volume of the bin (floor to sidewall height) in cubic feet
- total volume (rectangle bin + peak) in cubic feet
- the bin's capacity in US bushels
- 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.
