* Metric ton calculations assume wheat and soybeans at approximately 700 kg/m3; Corn approximately 720 kg/m3; Rice approximately 580 kg/m3. Capacities based on bin filled to eave with grain peaked in roof area at 28° slope. Bushels based on 1.25 cu. ft./bu. Metric ton calculations assume wheat at 800 kb/cubic meter; corn at 720 kg/cubic meter; and rice at 580 kg/cubic meter. All maximum capacities include a 6% compaction allowance as determined by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) standard S413.
