INTRODUCTION 


The increasing use of metric measurements in the natural sciences 
is causing considerable confusion and difficulty in interpreting data. 
This is particularly marked in forestry where not only are direct 
measurements involved, but these measurements are also applied to 
different units of area. Thus while the conversion of centimeters to 
inches is a relatively simple matter, the conversion of board feet per 
acre to cubic meters per hectare is fraught with difficulties which are 
further increased when monetary values are involved. The purpose 
of this handbook is to provide members of the Forest Service with 
conversion factors and forest measurements that are more or less fre- 
quently encountered in forestry literature. These are expressed in 
tabular form where it appears most advantageous to do so; in the

other cases a series of alinement charts have been prepared which 
permit the direct determination of values in multiple form. There 
are included also certain other tables giving data more or less com- 
monly used in forest calculations. 

In the tables the unit value on which the conversion is based is 
indicated as 1. Conversion units are not carried beyond six decimal 
places. When the final digit is not exact but represents a rounding 
to the nearest value, it is italicized. Figures in parentheses ( ) below 
the decimal figure are approximate values for use in rough calculations 
where a high degree of accuracy is unnecessary. Figures in brackets [ 1 
below the decimal figure are exact values. 

The tables are adapted for ready use. An example or two will best 
illustrate this. Given the average height of a stand as 42.67 meters, 
to convert to feet: In table 1, column 9 is headed ‘‘ Meters’’; on the 
same line with the figure 1 in this column will be found all the various 
conversion factors that are likely to be needed by the forester; the 
factor under ‘‘Feet”’ is 3.280833, by which the given height, 42.67 
meters, is converted to 139.993 feet. Similarly, a cubic centimeter 
of a certain tree seed weighs 0.35 gram; how much will a bushel, 
avoirdupois, of this seed weigh? In table 9 the factor for pounds per 
bushel, found by locating first the figure 1 under ‘Grams per cubic 
centimeter” is 77.6893. This factor gives 27.19 pounds per bushel. 

In all the tables, United States units of weight are understood to 
be avoirdupois unless otherwise specified.

1 Water has its greatest density at 4° C. and 760 millimeter pressure. At this density, 1 liter of water 


weighs 0.999973 kilogram. - This value was used in the conversion here presented. 


For all practical 


forestry purposes, a liter of water can be considered as weighing 1 kilogram. Similarly, 0.001 cubic foot of 
water is considered as weighing 1 ounce. This density is attained at 16.7°C.

1 A liter is, by definition, a unit of capacity equivalent to the volume occupied by the mass of a kilogram 
of pure water atits maximum density (4°C.) and under a pressure of 760 mm. It is actually equivalent in 
volume to 1.000027 cubic decimeters. In forestry measurements, however, 1 liter is considered as weighing 
1 kilogram and having a volume of 1 cubie decimeter. 

2In forestry measurements, the weight of 1 cubic foot is taken as 1,000 ounces. The absolute value is 
998.853 ounces.

1 Approximate values only; the miner’s inch, used in many Western States to measure water flow, is the 
quantity of water that will pass through an orifice 1 square inch in cross-section under a given head, and 
varies from 1.36 to 1.73 cubic feet per minute. In California the legal standard is 1.5 cubic feet per minute, 
oF the flow through an aperture 2 inches high in a 1.25-inch plank under a 6-inch head above the center of 
the stream.

1 Most of these volumetric units are not capable of absolute conversion because of the character of the 
product and the manner ofits utilization. 

2 The board foot per cubic foot ratio varies greatly, depending upon usage. Theoretically, 1 cubic foot 
contains 12 board feet. For average values 6 should be used, though 10 is a convenient figure for approxi- 
mations. When the conversion applies to tress, ratios of 3 to 8 should be applied. 

3 The number of cubic feet of wood per thousand board feet varies as between softwoods and hardwoods. 
Tn softwoods, conversion factors vary from 160 to 220 cubic feet (working average about 183), and in hard- 
woods, from 220 to 250 (working average 242). 

4 Standard cord is 4 by 4 by 8 feet and contains 128 cubic feet gross volume (3.626m*) . Because of methods 
of piling, character of material, ete., a cord of wood contains from 75 to 115 cubic feet. 90 cubic feet is taken 


as a rough conversion figure generally applicable.

1 Seale for seasoned lumber with 46-inch shrinkage per 1-inch board, and saws cutting a 44-inch kerf, 
or for green lumber, for saws cutting a 3i6-inch kerf. For saws cutting a 1¢-inch kerf add 10.5 percent. 

Formula: ((D?X0.22) —0.71D) X0.904762 for 4-foot sections. 

Taper allowance: 14 inch per 4 feet lineal. 


NotEe.—The International log rule gives consistent results under good milling practice. It is the most 
fair rule for all classes of timber and logs and should be used for second-growth material particularly. For 
this reason the International volume tables are recommended.
