Density Calculator
Measure the length, width, height and weight of a carton on the shipment.
In cases where the shipment is palletized, the dimensions of the pallet determine the cubic dimensions. Although the original dimension of the carton remains the same, the cubic dimensions now include those of the pallet.
Example:
Length 48", Width 40", Height 28" (22" plus 6" of pallet) equals 53,760 cubic inches (Length X Width X Height). There are 1,728 inches in a cubic foot, therefore 53,760 / 1,728 equals 31.11 cubic feet. The density equals the weight 110 (80 lbs for the carton and approximately 30 lbs for the pallet) divided by the cubic dimension, 3.54 lbs per cubic feet.
Formula:
Weight / (Length * Width * Height / 1,728)
110lbs / (48" * 40" * 28" / 1,728) = 3.54 Lbs/Ft3
