ATCP 99.22ATCP 99.22 Grain warehouse keeper licensing. ATCP 99.22(1)(a)(a) The capacity of a grain warehouse, for purposes of ch. 126, Stats., is the sum of the capacities of the grain bins comprising that grain warehouse. To calculate the capacity of each grain bin, divide the number of cubic feet in that bin by 1.244 cubic feet per bushel and then multiply the result by the appropriate pack factor under par. (b). If not all walls of the grain bin are vertical, calculate the capacity of each vertical foot of the bin and add those capacities to obtain the total capacity of the bin. ATCP 99.22(1)(b)(b) The pack factor under par. (a) is shown in the following table, based on the shape of the grain bin as viewed from above and the bushels per foot calculated according to par. (c). If not all walls of the grain bin are vertical, determine the pack factor for each vertical foot of the grain bin based on the bushels per foot for that vertical foot and the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the grain bin at that level. ATCP 99.22(1)(c)(c) To calculate bushels per foot, for purposes of par. (b), divide the number of square feet in the floor of the grain bin by 1.244 cubic feet per bushel. If not all walls of the grain bin are vertical, calculate bushels per foot for each vertical foot of the grain bin based on the number of square feet in a horizontal cross-section of the grain bin at that level.
