Giới thiệu Board foot calculator for lumber and timber

A board foot is 144 cubic inches of wood, a piece 1 in thick, 12 in wide and 1 ft long. Board feet for a stack are thickness (in) × width (in) × length (ft) ÷ 12 × pieces. Linear feet are length × pieces, and cost follows the basis the yard prices by: per piece, per board foot or per linear foot.

The default, ten 2 × 6 boards 8 ft long, is 80 board feet and 80 linear feet, costing 75.00 at 7.50 each. Softwood board feet are counted on the nominal size, but a dry 2 × 6 is dressed to 1½ × 5½ in, so the wood delivered is 55 board feet.

Turn off nominal sizing for rough-sawn hardwood or metric timber, which is measured as it is. Metric pieces convert at 1 board foot = 2.359737216 litres.

Câu hỏi

How do you calculate board feet?

Multiply thickness in inches by width in inches by length in feet, then divide by 12. A 2 × 6 that is 8 ft long is 2 × 6 × 8 ÷ 12 = 8 board feet, so ten of them are 80. With all three sides in inches, divide by 144 instead: a board 1 × 12 × 12 in is exactly 1 board foot.

Do you use nominal or actual size for board feet?

Nominal size for surfaced softwood: a 2 × 4 is counted as 2 × 4 in although it measures about 1½ × 3½ in. Hardwood is measured at its actual size, and rough hardwood thickness is given in quarters, 4/4 for 1 in and 8/4 for 2 in. With nominal sizing on, this calculator shows both: ten 2 × 6 × 8 ft are 80 BF nominal and 55 BF dressed.

What are the actual dimensions of a 2x4?

1½ × 3½ in (38 × 89 mm) once dried and planed. Other 2× sizes lose ½ in of width up to 6 in and ¾ in above that: a 2 × 6 is 1½ × 5½, a 2 × 8 is 1½ × 7¼, a 2 × 10 is 1½ × 9¼ and a 2 × 12 is 1½ × 11¼ in. A nominal 1 in board is ¾ in thick, and a 4 × 4 is 3½ × 3½ in.

How many board feet are in a cubic metre?

423.78. One board foot is 144 in³, exactly 2.359737216 litres, and 1 m³ ÷ 0.002359737216 m³ = 423.776. The metric example uses this: 20 pieces of 50 × 150 mm timber 3 m long are 0.45 m³, which is 190.70 board feet.

What does MBF mean in lumber pricing?

MBF means 1,000 board feet; MFBM and MBFT mean the same, and MMBF is a million board feet. A thousand board feet is 83.33 ft³, or 2.36 m³. A price of 600 per MBF is 0.60 per board foot, so an 8-board-foot 2 × 6 × 8 ft costs 4.80 at that rate.

“Board foot calculator for lumber and timber” chính xác đến mức nào?

Độ chính xác phụ thuộc vào dữ liệu nhập và giả định của phương pháp. Phép tính thập phân dùng 50 chữ số có nghĩa, nhưng ước lượng, phương pháp số và dữ liệu nguồn có thể kém chính xác hơn; làm tròn khi hiển thị không loại bỏ các giới hạn đó. Ví dụ có lời giải đã đối chiếu với nguồn độc lập: 3. Ví dụ, “Ten 2 × 6 × 8 ft at 7.50 each” được kiểm tra bằng Hand calculation: 2 × 6 × 8 / 12 = 8 BF × 10 = 80; dressed 1.5 × 5.5 × 8 / 12 × 10 = 55 (PS 20 sizes).
