Description
Return nominal filled auger volume per revolution.
Agricultural machinery budgets combine supplied geometry, speed, efficiency and operating intervals. Nominal capacity differs from measured field performance; slip, headland losses and overlap can use different bases and must not be counted twice. Local hydraulic or static-load terms do not establish equipment safety or suitability.
Return nominal filled auger volume per revolution.
When to use this tool
Use Farm Auger Volume Per Revolution Term when checking the stated benign machinery geometry, capacity, flow or load convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter outerDiameter, shaftDiameter, pitch, fillFraction. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read volumePerRevolution. Use the output convention below.
Return nominal filled auger volume per revolution. Require nonnegative outer/shaft diameters with outer >= shaft, pitch >= 0 and fillFraction in [0,1]; volume = pi*(outer²-shaft²)*pitch*fill/4.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- This is a geometric swept-volume model, not actual conveying capacity, material flow, torque or safe equipment operation.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use measured operating data, manufacturer specifications and qualified agricultural/engineering review for actual equipment selection, operation or safety.
