How to use the Silo Storage Capacity Calculator
- Enter the requested field, crop, animal, equipment, or cost information.
- Keep every value in the unit shown beside its field.
- Select Calculate and review each result and assumption.
- Verify important decisions with local records, labels, extension guidance, or a qualified adviser.
Formula and method
Capacity tonnes = π × (diameter ÷ 2)² × filled height × bulk density × usable fraction ÷ 1,000.
Volume is reduced by usable-fill percentage and multiplied by user-supplied bulk density.
Worked example
A 6 m diameter silo filled 15 m with 750 kg/m³ material at 95% usable fill holds about 302 tonnes.
Understanding the result
Treat the calculated values as a planning estimate. Compare them with your field records, product information, local conditions and operational capacity before acting.
Important: Results depend on the accuracy of your inputs and the assumptions shown. Local soil, weather, crop, animal and market conditions can change the appropriate decision.
