Rectangular Bin Volume Calculator

This calculator will estimate the contents of a rectangular grain bin filled to various heights. Wheat and barley have adjustment factors built in to compensate for damp grain. Height of grain in bin is measured to the line where the sloped grain touches the side of the bin. And as illustrated in the diagram, it is a assumed that the heap formed by the grain is even along the length of the bin. Results are given in Imperial (Canadian) and Winchester (American) bushels, commercial bushel equivalents and tonnes.
