Calculating Density & Linear Footage

 

Formula 1 - Finding Cubic Feet

              (Length x Width x Height)

          _____________________     = Cubic Feet

                              1728

  

Formula 2 – Calculating Density

        Shipment Weight

   ________________     = Pounds Per Cubic Foot

             Cubic Feet

 

Formula 3 – Finding Linear Feet

               Cubic Feet

       ____________    = Linear Feet

                      58

 

*Shipment dimensions are calculated using inches. Shipments that occupy a total of 750 cubic feet or more with a density of 6 pounds per cubic feet or less will fall into cubic capacity and are subject to inflated freight charges.

*To calculate the density of shipments with several pallets and identical dimensions, multiply the cubic feet by the number of equal pallets. For pallets of different dimensions, find cubic feet for all shipments and add them together. To find linear footage of non-stackable standard pallets, multiply the number of skids by two.
