Recommended calculation procedure for determining the amount of grain placed for storage in elevator silos and floor storage warehouses

Abstract

The calculated determination of the mass of bulk materials in warehouses and silos has a large margin of error, sometimes reaching 15% or more relative to the direct determination of the mass (weighing). The article provides a recommended calculation procedure for determining the amount of grain placed for storage in elevator silos and fl oor storage warehouses. This calculation, although more diffi cult than the one currently used, will reduce the error to ±5%.
