Calculation of cargo volume in m3

You can calculate the volume of cargo in m3 in our calculator. Why and who needs it? For example, you are a shipper who wants to understand the prices of the freight market and first wants to quickly calculate the volume of his cargo in m3. You can use a calculator to calculate. Specifying the dimensions of the sides and the height of one box, then specifying the number of boxes, as a result we get their volume. Moreover, in this calculator you can see both the volume of the entire cargo, and only one box. Having found out the volume of your cargo, you can easily understand what kind of transport you need. After all, if the volume of your cargo is 10 m3, then there is no need to order a truck and overpay for "emptiness". A gazelle will be enough for you.

How to calculate the volume of a box in cubic meters

The volume of a box is very easy to calculate. This page contains a calculator that will help you easily calculate the volume of one box or the entire load. You may be wondering what formula is used to calculate. From the point of view of mathematics, an ordinary cardboard box with a load is a rectangular parallelepiped, and if the box has all sides equal, then this is a cube. Accordingly, we will calculate their volume using a simple geometric formula: side A * side B * height. It is worth noting an important fact: if a value, for example, a meter, is used in the calculations, then the result will be in cubic meters. Our calculator uses meters to calculate volume. If one of the sides of the box, for example, is 60 cm, then in the calculator you need to specify a decimal fraction in the form: 0.6.

Calculator of the volume of a box with a load in m3

We have already figured out how the volume in m3 is calculated. In order not to consider this value manually, this volume calculator was created. Why Use This Calculator? This is convenient, you do not need to spend time calculating the volume of the entire cargo in cubic meters (m3). Using the simple interface of our calculator, you can instantly find out the volume of cargo. Just enter the dimensions of the sides of the box, the height of the box (third side) and the number of boxes, if there are more than one. And that's it, we get the result as a value in m3 format (cubic meters).
Why is it better to use our calculator instead of manual calculations? The probability of an error in this case is excluded, and you need to spend much less time and effort on manual calculations.

Why do you need to know the amount of cargo being transported?

If you are going to order the transportation of something packed in boxes or rectangular containers, then the first thing you will be asked when making an application is the volume of the transported cargo. This is where our volume calculator in m3 will help you. Right during the call, you can quickly calculate the volume in m3 and report it for the application.
Knowing the volume, the logistics manager will be able to choose the right car for the transportation of your cargo and save you from unnecessary overpayments for a larger car. Also, the logistician will immediately be able to orient you at the price of cargo transportation.

The most common question from customers is how to calculate the volume of cargo. The question is legitimate, since the choice of transport depends on the result of the calculation, and there is always the opportunity to choose a car from a cheaper range of models.

Each transport can carry a certain weight and cubic capacity, the parameters are usually indicated on the car body, but if you have any questions, you can always ask them to the managers of KVAD Logistics.

How to calculate the volume of cargo yourself?

If it is not difficult to weigh items for transportation, then certain problems arise with the calculation of volume.

Any object, if it occupies a separate space, has its maximum length, width and height in certain places. For example, if you are going to transport a statue, then it cannot be folded with some other object, thereby saving space. Therefore, its volume is considered separately. The width of the widest place is taken as the width, the height is considered from the floor to the highest point, the length is measured in a position perpendicular to the width vector parallel to the floor according to the same principle: the widest place is searched.

Items that can be nested in each other, such as frames and corners, building blocks, can be considered as a single value, adding 20-30% to the volume for packaging and placement in the truck.

The calculation of the cargo volume is very simple: the length is multiplied by the width and by the height. The resulting figure is converted into square meters.

If the load is not heavy, then voluminous and fairly light structures, for example, furniture, can be taken away in a small truck with a low carrying capacity. If, in addition to volume, objects will have a lot of weight, more powerful transport will be needed.

After calculating the volume of all types of cargo, the volumes are summarized. The resulting value is multiplied by 1.3. Tolerance is required because the load cannot be placed side by side, unless they are boxes of the same size. The allowed space is allocated to the voids that are formed during loading of uneven cargo.

Of course, this is a very rough estimate. The packaged cargo will have different volumes, and the packaging itself, perhaps, will somehow make it possible to create more capacious dimensions.

How to calculate the volume of cargo correctly?

If you need to transport cargo over a long distance, entrust the calculations to determine the volume of cargo to the professionals of KVAD Logistics.

Since the cargoes are sent simultaneously by many clients of the company, it is possible to place compact cargoes in one transport, and overall and heavy ones in another. As a result, you will have to pay less, since the transportation costs will be distributed more evenly and among all participants in proportion to the weight and volume of the shipped products. You do not need to think about how to calculate the volume of cargo. We will carry out this procedure for you and select the most profitable transportation options for you.

Measure all required distances in meters. The volume of many three-dimensional figures is easy to calculate using the appropriate formulas. However, all values ​​substituted into the formulas must be measured in meters. Thus, before substituting values ​​into the formula, make sure that they are all measured in meters, or that you have converted other units of measurement to meters.

• 1 mm = 0.001 m
• 1 cm = 0.01 m
• 1 km = 1000 m

To calculate the volume of rectangular shapes (rectangular box, cube) use the formula: volume = L × W × H(length times width times height). This formula can be considered as the product of the surface area of ​​one of the faces of the figure and the edge perpendicular to this face.

• For example, let's calculate the volume of a room with a length of 4 m, a width of 3 m and a height of 2.5 m. To do this, simply multiply the length by the width by the height:
  • 4×3×2.5
  • = 12 × 2.5
  • = 30. The volume of this room is 30 m 3.
• A cube is a three-dimensional figure in which all sides are equal. Thus, the formula for calculating the volume of a cube can be written as: volume \u003d L 3 (or W 3, or H 3).

To calculate the volume of figures in the form of a cylinder, use the formula: pi× R 2 × H. The calculation of the volume of a cylinder is reduced to multiplying the area of ​​the round base by the height (or length) of the cylinder. Find the area of ​​the circular base by multiplying pi (3.14) by the square of the circle's radius (R) (the radius is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on that circle). Then multiply the result by the height of the cylinder (H) and you will find the volume of the cylinder. All values ​​are measured in meters.

• For example, let's calculate the volume of a well with a diameter of 1.5 m and a depth of 10 m. Divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius: 1.5/2=0.75 m.
  • (3.14) × 0.75 2 × 10
  • = (3.14) × 0.5625 × 10
  • = 17.66. The volume of the well is 17.66 m3.

To calculate the volume of a sphere, use the formula: 4/3 x pi× R 3 . That is, you only need to know the radius (R) of the ball.

• For example, let's calculate the volume of a balloon with a diameter of 10 m. Divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius: 10/2=5 m.
  • 4/3 x pi × (5) 3
  • = 4/3 x (3.14) x 125
  • = 4.189 × 125
  • = 523.6. The volume of the balloon is 523.6 m 3.

To calculate the volume of figures in the form of a cone, use the formula: 1/3 x pi× R 2 × H. The volume of a cone is 1/3 of the volume of a cylinder that has the same height and radius.

• For example, let's calculate the volume of an ice cream cone with a radius of 3 cm and a height of 15 cm. Converting to meters, we get: 0.03 m and 0.15 m, respectively.
  • 1/3 x (3.14) x 0.03 2 x 0.15
  • = 1/3 x (3.14) x 0.0009 x 0.15
  • = 1/3 × 0.0004239
  • = 0.000141. The volume of an ice cream cone is 0.000141 m 3.

Use several formulas to calculate the volume of irregular shapes. To do this, try to break the figure into several shapes of the correct shape. Then find the volume of each such figure and add up the results.

• For example, let's calculate the volume of a small granary. The storage has a cylindrical body 12 m high and a radius of 1.5 m. The storage also has a conical roof 1 m high. By calculating the volume of the roof and the volume of the body separately, we can find the total volume of the granary:
  • pi × R 2 × H + 1/3 x pi × R 2 × H
  • (3.14) x 1.5 2 x 12 + 1/3 x (3.14) x 1.5 2 x 1
  • = (3.14) × 2.25 × 12 + 1/3 x (3.14) × 2.25 × 1
  • = (3.14) × 27 + 1/3 x (3.14) × 2.25
  • = 84,822 + 2,356
  • = 87.178. The volume of the granary is 87.178 m3.

How to calculate the volume of a room in m3

• If the room is rectangular, without niches and ledges, then everything is simple: we measure the length, width and height of the room and multiply all three numbers. To get the volume in cubic meters, you need to measure in meters.
• For standard household tasks, accuracy up to a centimeter is sufficient. The result can be rounded up to two decimal places. For example: a room has a length of 5.20 m, a width of 3.43 m and a height of 2.40. Multiply 5.2 x 3.43 x 2.4 = 42.8064. The number can be safely rounded to two decimal places. We get the volume of the room 42.81 cubic meters.
• Even easier if you already know the area of ​​the room. Then it is enough to measure only its height and multiply it by the number you know. Similarly, you can calculate the volume of any rectangular parallelepiped, even a matchbox, even a refrigerator.

How to calculate the volume in m3 if it is not a parallelepiped?

• If the room has niches, ledges, or it itself is of a complex shape, then the task becomes more complicated. It is necessary to divide the space into several parallelepipeds, calculate the volume of each, and then add them up.

By the way: if you know the area of ​​​​the room, then there will be no complication. Because when calculating the area, everything is already taken into account. So just multiply it by the height of the ceiling.

• In general, you can measure the approximate volume of any object, even the most non-trivial shape, by dividing it into simple rectangular shapes. We measure each separately, calculate the volume for the parts and add up the results. It is clear that such a result will not be very accurate. And the more complex the subject, the greater the error.

What if I want to know the exact volume in m3?

There is a way to find out the volume of any object with high accuracy. But it will only suit you if this thing is not afraid of water and you have a bath of the right size. The fact is that according to the law of Archimedes, a body completely immersed in water will displace an amount of water equal to its volume. That is, it is enough to take a full bath of water, immerse an object in it, collect all the water that spills over the edges and measure its volume in any way possible. For example, using a measuring cup.

Measuring volume with high accuracy is a rather non-trivial engineering task. But high accuracy is rarely needed in everyday life. And to get an approximate result, you only need a ruler and a calculator.

Reservoirs and tanks are used to transport and store various types of fuels, oil, water and gas, some building materials, chemicals, and foodstuffs. Many do not know how to calculate the volume of a container, because they can have a different geometric shape:

• Cone;
• cylinder;
• Spheres;
• Rectangular parallelepiped.

In our article, we will get acquainted with the nuances of the calculation for specific geometric bodies.

How to find out the volume of a rectangular container

In the field of construction, all volume indicators are reduced to specific values. Calculations can be made in liters or dm 3 , but most often cubic meters are used to determine the amount of a material. How to calculate the cubature of the simplest rectangular containers will be described further with a specific example.

For work, we need a container, a construction tape measure and a notebook with a pen or pencil for calculations. From the course of geometry it is known that the volume of such bodies is calculated by multiplying the length, width and height of the product. The calculation formula is as follows

V=a*b*c, where a, b and c are the sides of the container.

For example, the length of our product is 150 centimeters, the width is 80 centimeters, and the height is 50 centimeters. For the correct calculation of the cubature, we translate the indicated values ​​into meters and carry out the necessary calculations V = 1.5 * 0.8 * 0.5 = 0.6 m3.

How to determine the volume of a spherical product

Spherical products are found in our lives almost every day. It can be a bearing element, a soccer ball or the writing part of a ballpoint pen. In some cases, we need to know how to calculate the cubature of a sphere to determine the amount of liquid in it.

According to experts, to calculate the volume of this figure, the formula is used V=4/3ԉr3, where:

• V is the calculated volume of the part;
• R is the radius of the sphere;
• ԉ is a constant value equal to 3.14.

To carry out the necessary calculations, we need to take a tape measure, fix the beginning of the measuring scale and measure it, and the tape tape must pass along the equator of the ball. After that, the diameter of the part is found out by dividing the size by the number ԉ.

And now let's get acquainted with a specific example of calculating for a sphere if its circumference is 2.5 meters. First, we determine the diameter of 2.5 / 3.14 \u003d 0.8 meters. Now we substitute this value into the formula:

V= (4*3.14*0.8³)/3=2.14m³

How to calculate the volume of a tank made in the form of a cylinder

Similar geometric shapes are used for food storage, fuel transportation and other purposes. Many do not know how to calculate the volume of water, but we will describe the main nuances of such a process later in our article.

The height of the liquid in a cylindrical container is determined by a special device called a measuring rod. In this case, the capacity of the tank is calculated according to special tables. Products with special tables for measuring volume are rare in life, so let's approach the solution of the problem in a different way and describe how to calculate the volume of a cylinder using a special formula - V \u003d S * L, where

• V is the volume of the geometric body;
• S is the cross-sectional area of ​​the product in specific units of measurement (m³);
• L is the length of the tank.

The L indicator can be measured using the same tape measure, but the cross-sectional area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe cylinder will have to be calculated. The S index is calculated by the formula S=3.14*d*d/4, where d is the diameter of the cylinder circumference.

Now let's take a look at a specific example. Let's say the length of our tank is 5 meters, its diameter is 2.8 meters. First, we calculate the cross-sectional area of ​​​​the geometric figure S = 3.14 * 2.8 * 2.8 / 4 = 6.15m. And now you can start calculating the volume of the tank 6.15 * 5 = 30.75 m³.
