Silo Volume & Capacity Calculator

Calculate silo storage volume, capacity in tonnes, and discharge cone geometry for cement plant silos

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter silo dimensions: cylinder height, internal diameter, cone height (set 0 for flat bottom)
  2. Enter bulk density of stored material: cement=1.4, raw meal=1.0, clinker=1.5, fly ash=0.8 t/m³
  3. Click Calculate: see total volume, storage capacity in tonnes, cylindrical/conical breakdown, wall area, and H/D ratio
