How to calculate sawn timber

Upon purchase of timber and production of construction jobs quite often it is necessary to count quantity of boards, bars in one cubic meter of sawn timber or the metric area of several products. You can make calculations, using simple means and calculation tables.

Instruction

1. For calculation of separate types of timber special cubature tables are used. The addressing such tables will help you to establish how many boards are in one square meter. Thus are counted bar, cut and edging board, rails, lining, floorboard.

2. So, one bar of 100х100х6 in size occupies 0.06 cubic meters. In cubic meter of such boards there are 16.67 pieces. The eaves board of 22х100х6 in size occupies 0.0132 cubic meters. occupies with sizes 22х50х3 0.0033 cubic meters. The cubic meter contains 909 running meters of such rail.

3. Calculation business gorbylya is in a special way made. Sawn timber is sorted on two groups longwise (up to 2 meters inclusive more long than 2 meters). The croaker is stacked slab surface alternately down and up and in the opposite directions the thick and thin ends of boards. The stack is stacked most densely, it has to be identical on height throughout and have right angles.

4. After that the average length and width of stack is multiplied by its height and the stacked cubic capacity is defined.
