The cord (column A) and cubic metres stacked (column
C) measure apparent volume. The cunit (column B) and
cubic metre solid (column D) measure solid volume.
Accurate conversions are only possible between
columns A and C, and between B and D. Any other
conversions are approximate, and wood volume will
vary with tree species, size, etc.
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)
FBM is the abbreviation of 1 Board ft. (Foot Board
Measure). One thousand board feet is referred to as
“MBFM”.
