    Get 1 lt. Of the meal your using. Weigh on kitchen scales. Multiply by 1000.

    Keep error small; get a 10l measure and multiply by 100...

    You would be better off finding the weight in a cubic meter then measure the tank :)

    I put six bags of beef nuts in a 200 litre barrel. 150kgs.
    Therefore you will get thirty bags into your IBC. 900kgs.

    Do your sums again. 750kgs.

    Nuts have a specific density of .75 so. Would have thought they were denser

    You are forgetting the air between the nuts.

    If you put one nut in cold water, does it float or sink? If they float, this would suggest a density between 0.75 and 1.00. If they sink, the density is greater than 1.00

    How do you plan on getting them out again? Are you cutting off the top?

    i did that and it works a treat, just put the support bars back on afterwards as it stops the sides from bowing out when full

    I was thinking some sort of door or chute underneath would be handy for filling bags again.

    You mean a relative density - relative in this case to water.

    yeah. The relative density can only be taken if their being stored in water. Otherwise its useless

    The tank's volume is measured in litres, 1L of air is the same volume as 1L of water at 1013mb so it's not useless, it was a means of explaining my point specific density was a term used out of context.

    Mass of water => M=pV
    If you can get the density of whatever is going into the IBC you can calc whats going into it.

    lol. .. sounds like a trick question,

    id be doing the fill a 20 ltr dulux bucket, . . .

    as that holds 20 ltrs of liquid,

    then weigh it.

    then multiplied by 50

    dam it, them buckets are 10ltrs. . ok multiply it by the 100. ..

    either way, its your easiest method of finding it out, that or go with experience above.

    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,422 ✭✭✭just do it


    A few questions:
    1st Do you get the nuts delivered or collect them?
    2nd Is it post/bird proof? I'm thinking you could cut out a section and stick a hinge on it.

    Have seen the ones with the top done on hinges a lad near me does them charges enough to get it done
