Corn Test Weight Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Corn Test Weight (TW) is:

\[ TW = \frac{W}{V} \]

Where:

\( TW \) is the Test Weight (pounds per bushel).
\( W \) is the Weight of the Corn (pounds).
\( V \) is the Volume of the Corn (bushels).

What is Corn Test Weight?

Corn test weight is a measure of the density of corn kernels and is expressed in pounds per bushel. It is an important quality indicator used in the grain industry to assess the value of a corn crop. Higher test weights generally indicate better quality corn with less damage and more weight per volume, which can affect the price and marketability of the crop.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Weight of Corn (W): 56 pounds
Volume of Corn (V): 1 bushel

Using the formula to calculate the Corn Test Weight:

\[ TW = \frac{56}{1} = 56 \text{ pounds per bushel} \]

This means that the test weight for this example is 56 pounds per bushel.
