CBM Calculator used to calculate consignments weight (kg and lb) and volume (CBM and CFT).
It helps to calculate volume in cubic meters (CBM), Cubic feet (CFT) and volumetric weight in Kg and lb when shipping goods. User can get quick and easy calculation of how many product(s) will fit in a shipping container?
CBM Calculation Formula
--------------------------------------
Length (in meter) X Width (in meter) X Height (in meter) = Cubic meter (m3)
CFT Calculation Formula
--------------------------------------
Length (in feet) X Width (in feet) X Height (in feet) = Cubic feet (ft3)
We can define dimensions in Meter, Centimeter, Inch, Feet.
What is Volumetric Weight?
------------------------------------------
Large items with a light overall weight are charged according to the space they occupied.
In these cases, Volumetric Weight is used to calculate the shipment freight cost.
International Volumetric Weights are calculated using the formula below:
Length X Width X Height in centimetres / 5000 = Volumetric Weight in kilograms.
Multiply the length x height x width in centimetres and divide the answer by 5,000 (CBM Calculator has provision to change volumetric weight divisor). The result is the volumetric weight. The answer should be compared with the actual weight in kg. Whichever is the greater figure should be used to charge by the shipment company
