The cord (column A) and cubic meters stacked (column
C) measure “apparent” volume. The cunit (column B) and
cubic meter solid (column D) measure “solid” volume.
Accurate conversions are possible between columns A
and C, and between B and D only. Any other conversions
are approximate and wood volume will vary with tree
species, size, etc. Example:
1 cunit (column B) = exactly 2.832 solid meters (column D)
1 cord (column A) = approximately 2.407 solid cubic
meters (column D)
FBM is the abbreviation of 1 Board Ft. (Foot Board
Measure). One thousand board feet is referred to as
“MBFM”.
