Question:

how we calculate the grain's qty inside the silo?

when i calculate the silo volume it comes with exact value but if i calculate the grain dimension then it is not matching with bulk weigher . what is the formula /method to calculate the grain inside the silo? silo dia is 31.82 Mtr.eave height of the grain-16.32grain-wheatconical portion of the wheat inside the silo 6.7mtr.

Answer:

Remember the air between grains. I would suggest using weight as the form of measure. You can easily return that to volume if necessary. Look, think - the answer you are seeking varies depending on whether the grain has settled or not - a big difference. Also humidity. And grain type. There are too many changing variables (well, 3 here...). Small differences become big on a scale such as you describe.
