Calculate Grain Shrinkage (%)



Formula

The formula to calculate Grain Shrinkage (GS) is:

\[ GS = \frac{WL}{OW} \times 100 \]

What is Grain Shrinkage?

Grain Shrinkage refers to the reduction in weight of grain due to factors such as drying, handling, and storage. It is calculated by dividing the total weight lost by the original weight, then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate Grain Shrinkage (GS):

\[ GS = \frac{50}{1000} \times 100 = 5 \% \]

The Grain Shrinkage is 5%.
