How to Measure Nonpalletized Freight

For example, if the length is 25 inches, the width is 24 inches and the height is 23 inches, multiply them as follows:

1. 25 X 24 X 23 = 13,800 cubic inches.
2. Convert cubic inches to cubic feet by dividing the cubic inch total by 1,728—the number of cubic inches in one cubic foot. For example: 13,800 divided by 1,728 = 7.98 cubic feet.
3. Dividing the weight of the shipment by the number of cubic feet will provide the density. For example: 90 pounds divided by 7.98 = 11.27 pounds per cubic foot.
