The bulk densities, ρ, of agricultural products listed in Table A-2.3.2.3.(1) can be used to determine the specific weight, γ, of the products as follows:

Notes to Table A-2.3.2.3.(1):
(1) The bulk densities of grains listed in Table A-2.3.2.3.(1) are determined by filling a small container with grain and weighing the filled container. If grain is dropped from a distance into a bin, the bulk density may be up to 5% higher than the listed density. If a grain spreader is used to load the grain into the bin, the bulk density will be even higher (but wall pressures in the bin will be more uniform and slightly lower). Therefore, it is recommended that the listed density be multiplied by a factor of 1.06 for grain stored in a bin.
