Engineering properties of rice is essential for designing of storage bin. The physical properties of rice (ADT-43) namely, size, shape, thousand grains mass, aspect ratio, surface area, volume, bulk density, true density and porosity at moisture content ranging from 11.55 to 26.84% (db) were determined using standard techniques for development of ozone based storage bin. In this case, thousand grains mass, surface area and volume increased from 10.70 to 14.59 g, 14.58 to 16.94 mm2 and 3.78 to 4.76 mm3, respectively, with an increase in moisture content from 11.55 to 26.84% (db). Geometric mean diameter, sphericity, aspect ratio, true density and porosity increased from 2.30 to 2.48 mm, 0.45 to 0.46, 33.10 to 34.66%, 961.89 to 975.24 kg·m-3 and 26.97 to 29.66%, respectively, with an increase in moisture content from 11.55 to 26.84% (db). These properties are very essential for designing of different parts of ozone based storage bin.
