weight of a steel silo that is 80' tall and 22' diameter and 1/4 thick ?
If you have any question on steel silo, you can inquire Muyang which is professional in constructing silo project.
Assuming regular steel and not stainless Density of steel is 7850 kg/m^3 1kg/m^3 = 0.0624 lb/ft^3 Therefore Density of steel in lb/ft^3 = 7850 x 0.0624 = 489.84 lb/ft^3 Volume of steel in Silo in ft^3 = 80 x 22 x (0.25/12) = 36.67 ft^3 weight = density x Volume = 489.84 x 36.67 = 17,960.8 lbs
