Enter your wood dimensions to calculate the volume of wood in cords using the cord calculator.

Cord Calculation Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the volume of wood in cords:

Cords = (Length (ft) * Width (ft) * Height (ft)) / 128

Variables:

  • Length is the length of the wood stack (ft)
  • Width is the width of the wood stack (ft)
  • Height is the height of the wood stack (ft)
  • 128 is the volume in cubic feet of one cord

To calculate the volume of wood in cords, multiply the length, width, and height of the wood stack, then divide by 128.

What is Cord Calculation?

Cord calculation refers to the process of determining the volume of a stack of wood in cords. A cord is a unit of measure for firewood and pulpwood, equal to 128 cubic feet (3.62 cubic meters), typically a stack 4 feet high, 8 feet long, and 4 feet wide.

How to Calculate Cords?

The following steps outline how to calculate the volume of wood in cords using the given formula:

  1. First, measure the length, width, and height of your wood stack in feet.
  2. Next, multiply these dimensions together to get the total cubic feet.
  3. Use the formula: Cords = (Length * Width * Height) / 128.
  4. Finally, calculate the volume of wood
