How to calculate one cubic meter of cargo in ocean freight LCL?
Cubic meter, also known as "m³", (m is meter, 3 is m cubed) is a unit of volume measurement, and is often used to indicate the volume of cargo in ocean freight LCL. One cubic meter is equal to the volume of a cube with a length, width, and height of 1 meter.
/cubic-meter-calculation-formula.png)
Cubic meter calculation formula:
Volume (m³) = Length (m) X Width (m) X Height (m)
Example:
A batch of goods was shipped from China to Pointe Noire in Congo (Brazzaville). The
length of the goods is 1.25m, the width is 1.2m, and the height is 1.1m. What is the
volume of the goods?
Cubic meter calculation formula, cargo volume: 1.25 (m) X 1.2 (m) X 1.1 (m) = 1.65 cubic meters (m³).
If the object is in decimeter (dm), centimeter (cm), millimeter (mm), their volume calculation is the same as cubic meter:
Cubic decimeter (dm³) = length (dm) x width (dm) x height (dm)
²Cubic centimeter (cm³) = length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm)
²Cubic milpmeter (mm³) = length (mm) x width (mm) x height (mm)
Unit conversion:
Cubic decimeter (dm³) ➗1000 = cubic meter
²Cubic centimeter (cm³) ➗1000000 = cubic meter
²Cubic milpmeter (mm³) ➗1000000000 = cubic meter
