Auger Length Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Auger Length.
AL = (E + 1/2*D)*1.4
- Where AL is the Auger Length (ft)
- E is the eve height of the bin (ft)
- D is the bin diameter (ft)
How to Calculate Auger Length?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Auger Length.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the eve height of the bin (ft).
- The eve height of the bin (ft) is given as: 5.
- Next, determine the bin diameter (ft).
- The bin diameter (ft) is provided as: 6.
- Finally, calculate the Auger Length using the equation above:
AL = (E + 1/2*D)*1.4 = (ft)
The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.
AL = (5 + 1/2*6)*1.4 = 11.2 ft
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
eve height of the bin (ft) = 7
bin diameter (ft) = 8
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..
AL = (E + 1/2*D)*1.4 = ?
