7.10 EXPLAINATION OF CALCULATIONS
Bushel capacities are approximate:
• Feed bin capacities are based on 40 lb/ft
3
.
• All fertilizer bins, steep cone bins and liquid bins capacities are based on 62 lb/ft
3
.
To select the most appropriate bin size for your storage, please follow these steps:
• Determine product density (lb/ft
3
).
• Convert the total tonnage being stored to “lb”, then divide by the density. The result is the cubic foot
capacity you require.
• Note: 1 MT (tonne) = 1.10 US ton = 0.98 Imp ton.
Example - You need to store 100 MT (tonne) of urea fertilizer with a density of 48 lb.
(100 MT = 110.2 US ton = 98.4 Imp ton)
100 x 2204 = 220,400 / 48 = 4592 (Min. ft
3
required)
Best model selection would be a 1620 or 1815.
To calculate a bins holding capacity of a specific product, follow these steps:
• Determine product density (lb/ft
3
).
• Multiply the bins cubic foot capacity by the product density, then divide by 2204.
Example - Your fertilizer blend weights 57 lb/ft
3
and your purchasing a model 1625 fertilizer bin.
Model 1625 = 5851 ft
3
x 57 lb = 333,507 lb / 2204 = 151 MT.
Your new 1625 will hold about 151 MT of your specific fertilizer blend.
(151 MT (tonne) = 166.5 US ton = 148.6 Imp ton)
