Calculate Bin Volume



Formula

To calculate the Volume of the Bin (V):

\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]

What is Bin Volume?

Bin volume is the measure of the total space inside a bin. It is often used to determine the storage capacity of cylindrical bins such as silos, tanks, and other storage containers. Knowing the volume is essential for calculating how much material (grain, liquid, etc.) can be stored in the bin.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ V = \pi \times 3^2 \times 10 = \pi \times 9 \times 10 = 282.74 \text{ cubic feet} \]

The Volume of the Bin is 282.74 cubic feet.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ V = \pi \times 5^2 \times 12 = \pi \times 25 \times 12 = 942.48 \text{ cubic feet} \]

The Volume of the Bin is 942.48 cubic feet.
