Stockpile Volume Estimator

Cone and frustum stockpile volumes, with optional conversion to tonnes using a material density.

Vertical height, not the length up the side.

Side slope (°)

Cone V = πr²h ÷ 3 · frustum V = πh(R² + Rr + r²) ÷ 3. Densities are typical loose bulk densities; moisture and compaction change them, so confirm with your supplier or a weighbridge.

Indicative result, not a survey. Only a plan prepared and signed by a registered surveyor is valid for title, legal or design purposes.

Calculated in your browser. Nothing you enter is stored or sent.

How it works

Measure the base by pacing or taping round it, and the height with a level or a measured pole. Irregular stockpiles are better measured by drone or terrestrial survey.
