Estimating Manure Inventory
Calculating Volume of Manure in a Cylindrical Manure Storage Facility
The total height ( h
tot
) of a cylindrical liquid manure storage facility is 4.75 m. The diameter ( d ) is 40 m. The current freeboard ( h
fb
) is 1.9 m. The estimated volume of manure currently in the facility is:
Height of Manure (h
manure
) = total height ( h
tot
) – height of freeboard ( h
fb
) = 4.75 m – 1.9 m
= 2.85 m is the approximate height of the manure
Manure volume (m 3 ) = height of manure ( h
manure
) x (diameter 2 ) x 0.785 = 2.85 m x (40 m) 2 x 0.785
= 3,579.6 m 3 is the approximate volume of the manure
Converting cubic meters to litres = 3,579.6 m 3 x 1000 L/m 3
= 3,579,600 L is the approximate volume of the manure
