How to calculate the volume of wood

The calculation of wood volume is an important link in the process of wood processing and sales. This paper will introduce how to calculate wood volume.

Measure the size of wood

First of all, the length, width and height of wood should be measured before the volume of wood can be calculated.

Calculate wood volume

According to the size of wood, the formula can be used: wood volume = [(length 1+ length 2)/2]*[ (width 1+ width 2)/2]* height *0.785, where 0.785 is an approximation of π/4.

explain

For example, a piece of wood is 88 cm long, 79 cm wide and 72 cm high, and its volume is: (88+79)/2 * (79+72)/2 * 72 * 0.785 = 0.94 cubic meters.
