Measurements Final Flashcards
Definition of bolts
Pieces cut shorter than 8 feet
Definition of scaling
The process of measuring volumes of individual lengths
Common units of volume
Cubic feet, cords, board feet, and weight
Coed dimensions
rick-4’x4’x8’ widthxheightxlength/128ft^3
Composition of wood volume
Wood fiber, bark, open space
Factors affecting value of stacked wood
Species, method of piling, diameter of sticks, length of sticks, straightness, freedom from knots, bark
How much solid wood volume does hardwoods contain.
79ft3
How much solid wood volume does soft woods contain
72ft3
Advantages of wood volume by weight
Weight scaling is not objective than cord wood scaling, wood yard inventions are more easily maintained because of greater uniformity
Factors to worthy scale logs
Weight per cord for a particular species and moisture content and specific gravity
Calculation of wood density
Specific gravity x 62.4 (1+(%moisture/100)
