Log Volume Calculator

Round log volume from length and mid-diameter using the Huber formula, plus Hoppus (quarter-girth) volume and cubic feet.

Result

Step-by-step calculation

    Formula

    Volume (m³) = π/4 × d² × L (Huber, d = mid-diameter in m, L = length in m) Girth = π × d; Hoppus volume = (Girth ÷ 4)² × L Cubic feet = m³ × 35.3147

    Worked example

    Calculated with the default values shown in the form.

      Technical notes

      • Measure the diameter at the middle of the log, under bark, and average two perpendicular readings.
      • Hoppus volume deliberately under-states true volume (about 78.5% of it); use Huber for yield calculations.
      • Buying rules differ by region. Confirm the measuring rule in your purchase contract.
