CBM Calculator-Volume (CBM & CFT)&Weight (kg&lb)

Sendungen Volumenvolumen (kg und lb) und Volumen (CBM und CFT) berechnen.

Calculate your shipment’s cubic meter volume with this CBM calculator.It helps to calculate volume in cubic meters (CBM), Cubic feet (CFT) and volumetric weight in Kg (kilogram) and lb (pounds) when shipping goods.

User can get quick and easy calculation of how many product(s) will fit in a shipping container?

Freight shipment cubic volumes are typically required to get a price quote. Use this CBM calculator to easily calculate CBM and how many products fit in a shipping container.

CBM is also critical for calculating dimensional weight, chargeable weight, calculating freight class, or for requesting a freight quote.

*Difference between "Volume" & "volumetric weight"

The cost of transporting a shipment can be affected by the amount of space that it occupies on an aircraft, rather than the actual weight. This is the volumetric (or dimensional) weight.

The volumetric weight of a shipment is a calculation that reflects the density of a package. A less dense item generally occupies more volume of space, in comparison to its actual weight.

The volumetric or dimensional weight is calculated and compared with the actual weight of the shipment to ascertain which is greater; the higher weight is used to calculate the shipment cost.

*What is CBM?

CBM, or cubic meter, is the freight volume of the shipment for domestic and international freight. CBM measurement is calculated by multiplying the width, height and length together of the shipment.

*Calculating volume (How Do I Calculate CBM?):

Cargo CBM Calculation Formula

--------------------------------------

Length (in meter) X Width (in meter) X Height (in meter) = Cubic meter (m3)

cargo CFT Calculation Formula

--------------------------------------

Length (in feet) X Width (in feet) X Height (in feet) = Cubic feet (f

We can define dimensions in Meter, Centimeter, Inch, Feet.

*Calculating Volumetric Weight of cargo:

Volumetric weight is calculated by multiplying the length x height x width of a package and dividing the result by a volumetric factor.

That factor varies with the unit of measure. Since we use kilograms to calculate shipping charges, we use the following formulas to calculate volumetric weight:

Length X Width X Height in centimetres / 5000 = Volumetric Weight in kilograms.

*How to use this calculator

Take a ruler to measure the actual size (Dimention) of outer carton.

Select the unit of measurement (inch, feet, yard, cm etc)(metric or imperial)

Fill the blanks of dimensions (length,width,height)(enter in selected unit)

Fill the blank of carton quantity

The total cargo volume & volumetric weight will be calculated automatic in cubic meters (CBM),Cubic feet (CFT) and Volumetric weight (kg and lb) respectively.

(calculate Volumetric weight (kg and lb) and volume (CBM and CFT)from any unit such as inch, feet, yard, cm etc).

*How Many CBM Fit In a 20ft and 40ft Container?

Knowing your shipment volume is also required when estimating how many products will fit in a 20′ or 40′ ocean shipping container. This time it’s not a simple arithmetic formula of comparing total shipment volume and container maximum capacity, as nearly every time a container is loaded, it’s impossible to use every piece of space.

We have set common sized shipping containers (20′, 40′,20′ HC 40′ HC and 45′ general).but you can also customized it i.e you can set your own dimension.
