Enter the volume in bushels and the test weight in pounds per bushel into the calculator to determine the bushel weight. This calculator helps to estimate the total weight of a given volume of grain.
Bushel Weight Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the bushel weight.
BW = V * TW
Variables:
- BW is the bushel weight (pounds)
- V is the volume (bushels)
- TW is the test weight (pounds per bushel)
To calculate the bushel weight, multiply the volume of the grain in bushels by the test weight, which is the weight of one bushel of the grain.
What is Bushel Weight?
Bushel weight, also known as the weight per bushel, is a measure used in agriculture to determine the weight of a bushel volume of grain. The test weight is a standard measurement that indicates the quality and density of the grain. Higher test weights typically indicate better quality grain with less moisture content and more marketable product.
How to Calculate Bushel Weight?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Bushel Weight.
- First, determine the volume of the grain (V) in bushels.
- Next, determine the test weight (TW) in pounds per bushel.
- Next, gather the formula from above = BW = V * TW.
- Finally, calculate the Bushel Weight (BW) in pounds.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Volume (V) = 50 bushels
Test Weight (TW) = 60 pounds per bushel
