Sawn lumber

Squared, sawn stock — prism volume.

Total volume0.000

Thickness × Width × Length × Pieces ÷ 1,000,000

Logs

Round wood — cylinder volume from mid-diameter.

Total volume0.000

(Diameter ÷ 2)² × Length × Pieces × π ÷ 1,000,000

You don't have to do this batch by batch

In Ahşapmetrik you enter a measurement once: the m³ is worked out for you, written into the stack and the stock, and the same figure carries through to quotes and shipments. At month end, "how much stock do I have" is already answered.

How the volume is worked out

Sawn lumber

The three measurements in centimetres are multiplied and divided by a million: thickness × width × length ÷ 1,000,000. A 5 × 20 × 300 cm board is 0.030 m³; a hundred of them, 3.000 m³.

Logs

Round wood is treated as a cylinder: (diameter ÷ 2)² × π × length ÷ 1,000,000. Measuring the diameter at the middle of the log is closer to the truth than measuring at the butt end, which overstates the volume.

Which units?

Every measurement is in centimetres, length included (3 metres = 300). The result is shown to three decimals; the arithmetic itself uses the full value.

Same as the app?

Yes. Both formulas on this page are exactly the ones the Ahşapmetrik app uses on its stock, stack and quote screens.
