what is the formula for figuring grain storage capacity?

Answer:

huh? Grain storage? Like corn, oats, or beans? Are you looking for the volume of a container? or how many grains per volumetric unit? - 121 kernels of oats in a cubic inch?
For instance the bulk density of whole wheat berries is 45-52 Lb/ Cu.Ft and whole shelled corn 45 Lb/Cu.Ft The density of such individual grains is fairly consistent, provided that the moisture content is likewise consistent. However the bulk density also includes the volume of the air spaces between the many of various sizes grains.
hey ....Cubs; Volume of a cylinder is: Area=Pi times the square of the radius. This times the height of the cylinder will yield the volume. If the container is square multiply three sides to get the volume.
