Frequently Asked Questions
How is grain bin capacity calculated?
A cylindrical bin volume of pi times radius squared times height gives the volume in cubic feet, which is then converted to bushels using the standard conversion factor of 0.7786 bushels per cubic foot.
Does this account for a peaked roof or hopper bottom?
No, this calculator covers the plain cylindrical sidewall volume only. A peaked roof or hopper bottom adds extra grain volume beyond what a straight cylinder holds, and is not included here.
Is the bushel conversion the same for every crop?
The 0.7786 figure is a general volume-to-bushel conversion, not a crop-specific weight conversion. Different crops weigh different amounts per bushel, which matters when converting a bushel count to total weight.
