Subject: Re: Grain Bin Peak Bushels



Here's the formula for determining peak height & capacity that my ins. company uses

cone = Dia. x Dia. x .2618 x Height / 1.25

determining peak height:

corn peak height = .42x(0.5xdia)
beans peak height = .47x(0.5xdia)



F>S>A.'s formula for determing bin capacity & pack factors

Dia. x Dia. x .7854 x Height x .8 x pack factor = Bushells

pack factor for corn
56# TW = 1.018 61# TW = 1.093
57# TW = 1.033 62# TW = 1.108
58# TW = 1.048 63# TW = 1.123
59# TW = 1.063 64# TW = 1.138
60# TW = 1.078 65# TW = 1.153
