kg/m³

Editable default: 420 kg/m³, the EN 338 mean density for KVH/C24. Replace it for the actual product, species and moisture content, or clear it if unknown; volume and cost will still calculate.

The selected currency only labels your price. No currency conversion is performed.

%

Enter 0–50%. This estimates an ordering allowance; it does not change the physical volume of the finished pieces.

Estimate results

Enter valid values to see the estimate.

Methodology

Volume is calculated from the actual cross-section, length and quantity entered. Weight uses the density you provide; cost uses the selected price basis; the waste allowance is applied only to the ordering estimate.

Limitations

Results are planning estimates. Timber density varies with species and moisture, prices are not converted between currencies, and commercial board-foot rules may use nominal rather than actual dimensions.
