The “apparent” volume is measured by the cord (column
A) and cubic metres stacked (column C) values, while the
“solid” volume is measured by the cunit (column B) and
cubic metre solid (column D) values.
You can only calculate accurate conversions between
columns A and C, and between B and D. Any other
conversions are approximate and the wood volume will
vary according to variables such as the tree-species or
size.
For example:
1 cunit (column B) =
exactly
2.832 solid metres (column D)
1 cord (column A) =
approximately
2.407 solid cubic
metres (column D)
Foot Board Measure (FBM) refers to one board-foot; 1000
board-feet is referred to as “MBFM”.
