Calculate Grain Test Weight





Formula

To calculate the Grain Test Weight (GTW):

\[ GTW = \frac{100 - D}{100 - W} \cdot TW \]

What is Grain Test Weight?

Grain Test Weight (GTW) is a measure of the density of grain, expressed in pounds per bushel (lbs/bu). It is used to evaluate the quality and marketability of the grain. The GTW is adjusted for moisture content to provide an accurate representation of the grain's weight under standard conditions.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ GTW = \frac{100 - 12}{100 - 15} \cdot 56 = \frac{88}{85} \cdot 56 \approx 58.02 \text{ lbs/bu} \]

The Grain Test Weight is approximately 58.02 lbs/bu.
