13.5. Dim Factor Conversion Between in
3
/lb and cm
3
/kg
The ExpressCube Countertop will automatically adjust the selected DIM Factor to correspond to the
units selected by the user. The mathematical relationship between DIM Factors can be expressed
as follows:
Dim Factor [cm
3
/kg] =
Dim Factor [in
3
/lb] x 36.12728079
Dim Factor [in
3
/lb]
=
Dim Factor [cm
3
/kg] x 0.027679913
"
Some DIM Factors maybe provided in both units such as the IATA value of Dim Factor
166 in
3
/lb or Dim Factor 6000 cm
3
/kg. These have been slightly modified for ease of
application. The ExpressCube countertop will correctly convert a user-selected input of Dim
Factor 166 in
3
/lb to Dim Factor 5997 cm
3
/kg. This 0.05% difference is not large enough to
affect dimensional weight readings. The user can input another DIM Factor of 6000 cm
3
/kg if
desired and choose from two different Dim Factor selections depending on the units
selected.
