Staff Answer

Measure the length, width, and height of the box in centimeters, then multiply them together to get the case cube (or volume) in cubic centimeters. If you measured in meters, multiply your answer by 1,000,000 to convert to cubic centimeters from cubic meters.

Staff Answer

Different shipping companies do this in different ways, so it will depend on the specific formula your courier uses. It typically involves dividing the case cube (or volume) of the container by a specific constant, such as 5,000 (for centimeters) or 305 (for inches). To calculate the actual density of your container, divide the volume (width x length x height) by the weight of the container.

Question

My tutor did not explain why I had to divide by 1724 to arrive at the answer. How can I understand this problem?

Community Answer

You need to divide by 1728, not 1724. A cubic foot is a cube with sides 12" (1 foot) long. When using inches, the volume is 12" x 12" x 12", or 1728 cubic inches.

Question

Why do you divide by 1728?

Community Answer

1728 is the conversion of one cubic foot to inches. 12" x 12 "x 12" = 1728" cubed Dividing by 1728 converts your measurement from cubic inches to cubic feet.

Question

How do I calculate the cubic footage of a wooden pallet?

Community Answer

Calculate it just as you would any other volume. Measure the length, width, and height of the pallet, and multiply those dimensions together. (The height will be small.) Whatever sits on the pallet will have a volume of its own.
