Calculation method
Calculation method
Trapezoidal cross-section (m²)
(Base width + top width) × filled height / 2.
Stored geometric volume (m³)
Constant trapezoidal cross-section × clamp length.
Estimated stored mass (kg)
Volume × measured compacted bulk density.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- A constant trapezoidal prism with flat longitudinal ends. Does not include end ramps, irregular surface contours, voids or spoilage. Use measured compacted density, not a generic crop-density guess.
