Silo Capacity Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Silo Capacity (SC) is:

\[ SC = \pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h \]

Where:

\( SC \) is the silo capacity (ft³)
\( r \) is the inner radius of the silo (ft)
\( h \) is the height of the silo (ft)

Definitions

Silo Capacity (SC): The total usable internal volume of a silo.
Inner Radius (r): The radius of the inside of the silo, measured in feet.
Height (h): The height of the silo, measured in feet.

Example

Let's say the inner radius (r) is 5 feet and the height (h) is 20 feet. Using the formula:

\[ SC = \pi \cdot 5^2 \cdot 20 \]

We get:

\[ SC \approx 1,570.80 \text{ ft³} \]

So, the silo capacity is approximately 1,570.80 cubic feet.
