How to Use the Silo Capacity Calculator

  1. Enter the diameter of the silo in meters.
  2. Enter the height of the silo in meters.
  3. Enter the bulk density of the material to be stored in kg/m³.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the volume and capacity of the silo.
  5. The results will be displayed in cubic meters (m³) and kilograms (kg).

Working Principle

The calculator uses the formula for the volume of a cylinder to determine the capacity of the silo:

Volume = π * (diameter/2)² * height

Where π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.141592653589793.

The capacity is then calculated by multiplying the volume by the bulk density of the material.
