Timber and board - one of the oldest building materials, but it does not lose its relevance today. At the same time, the cost of these lumber forces buyers to be careful about the accuracy of calculating the required quantity.

Now you can find on the World Wide Web the necessary tables for calculating the required number of cubic meters of building materials, but a skillful owner must be able to carry out the calculation independently.

How many boards are there in a cube of 50 by 150 by 6000

As you probably already understood, the calculation of lumber is carried out in cubic meters. At the same time, a cube of boards and timber may have different overall dimensions. Therefore, for an accurate purchase, you need to understand the size of this cube for a more accurate calculation. The most common cube of lumber has dimensions of 50x150x6000 mm.

We calculate the required volume easily and simply

It is very easy to calculate cubic meters of boards or timber. To do this, you need to have basic knowledge of geometry, which we were taught at school. Thus, to determine the required cubic capacity, you need to initially multiply the width (l), thickness (s) and length (b).

Eg: s boards × l boards x b boards = 50 mm × 150 mm x 6000 mm = 45000 cm/cube.

We remember that a cubic meter is equal to 1,000,000 cubic centimeters, that is, 100 cm x 100 cm x 100 cm.

1000000 cc/cm: 45000 cc/cm = 22.22 pieces boards in one cube.

How many boards in 1 cube table 6m:

Board size	Volume of 1st board	Boards in 1 cube in pieces	Square meters in 1 cube
Fifty
Board 50x 100x 6000	0.03 m³	33 pcs.	20 m²
Board 50x 120x 6000	0.036 m³	27 pcs.	20 m²
Board 50x 150x 6000	0.045 m³	22 pcs.	20 m²
Board 50x 180x 6000	0.054 m³	18 pcs.	20 m²
Board 50x 200x 6000	0.06 m³	16 pcs.	20 m²
Board 50x 250x 6000	0.075 m³	13 pcs.	20 m²

As you can see, calculate required amount 6-meter boards are very easy. Now you know how to determine how many meter boards are in a cube. Depending on the size, you simply substitute required sizes V simple formula and get the finished result.

Anyone planning construction or renovation should figure out how many boards are in a square meter, how many cubic meters of material are needed to implement a particular project, how many squares can be covered with one cubic meter of material, etc. And although today it is not difficult to find tabular values ​​for almost any situation, it is still advisable to understand how the calculations are carried out and, if necessary, be able to carry out the calculations yourself.

Dimensions of boards

How much is a cubic meter of board? One of the most common questions asked by newbie masters. In fact, this question can be given an extremely simple answer: it depends on what kind of lumber we are talking about!

As a rule, for construction and repair work Use blanks produced in accordance with GOST 8486-86. This standard regulates the basic requirements for lumber coniferous species(for deciduous trees there is a separate document - GOST 2695-83), determines what size the product can have.

In principle, choosing the right part is not difficult, but there are still certain restrictions that limit the production of blanks:

• thickness – from 16 to 75 mm;
• width – from 75 to 275 mm;
• length - from 1 to 6 m.

Naturally, there are also deviations. So, if necessary, you can order the production of parts with a different ratio of thickness and width. Their price, of course, will be higher than standard ones, but if necessary and the availability of suitable raw materials, you can cut almost any workpiece.

Repair and construction work often involves the use of lumber. But shops and timber trading centers often sell them not in pieces, but in cubes.

Everything is very simple and fast.

Method for calculating edged lumber

• a caliper, tape measure or folding m; if the length parameters of wood products are known, you can limit yourself to a regular ruler;
• calculator - suitable mobile phone, smartphone, if problems may arise with mental arithmetic;
• a piece of paper and a pencil - to record the results of calculations, how many boards are in a cube.

1. Volume = Length × Height (product thickness) × Width.

To prevent confusion when converting cubic centimeters to cubic meters, it is more convenient to immediately record the measurement results in meters.

For example, 0.132 cu. m = 6 m × 0.022 m (2.2 cm) × 0.10 m (10 cm).

Now, to determine the number of planks in a cube, you need 1 cubic meter. m divided by 0.132. The result obtained (7, 5757) when purchasing timber must be rounded to 8 pieces.

This method of calculating cubic capacity is also suitable for timber. This way you can determine how many cubic meters of timber you need to purchase if you know the required number of products, or, conversely, determine required quantity cubes

How to calculate the cube of an unedged board?

To determine the required volume of timber, the easiest way is to carry out calculations similar to the above method. Only the final result needs to be multiplied by 1.2 - a correction factor. From unedged boards you can get no more than 70-80% edged.

The width and thickness of each product are measured taking into account its further processing. The technique will help determine the number of cubes wooden products, necessary for work, if the final result is planned for their further processing - pruning.

When purchasing, the widest and thinnest boards are measured to obtain an average width. If the width of the lumber at the butt is wider than at the top, the arithmetic mean of their dimensions is used without taking into account the bast layer or bark, rounded to 10 mm. In this case, fractions from 5 mm are rounded to the full 10 mm, and fractions up to 5 mm are not taken into account. The length and thickness of the lumber are measured in the usual way. The volume of timber is determined according to the usual scheme:

• the volume of one product is calculated;
• the total cubic capacity of purchased timber is determined; according to GOST it is used correction factors: 0.96 – for lumber from softwood, 0.95 – for lumber from hardwood wood

In addition to the piecemeal method of determining volume unedged lumber, the geometric method can be used.

Requirements for a package of unedged timber:

• lumber is laid tightly, without overlaps, in horizontal rows;
• on one side the ends of the boards are aligned;
• all sides of the package are strictly vertical: according to GOST, the displacement of individual products outward and inward should not exceed 0.10 m;
• The package of lumber must be the same width along its entire length.

Then the volume of the package is calculated, the resulting result is multiplied by the coefficient:

The generally accepted measure for measuring wood materials is the cubic meter. Most of all sawn products - edged, not edged, planed and others wood materials measured in cubic meters. In other words, 1 m 3 is a volume equal to 1 m in length, width and thickness.

How many cubes are in one board 40x150x6000

The calculation of the cubic capacity of wood depends on two of its characteristics, and in particular on whether it has been processed or not.

To find out how many cubes are in one 40x150x6000 board (edged), you should use a calculation table or the following formula:

V=a × b × l, where

• a – height;
• b – width;
• l – length.

The volume is calculated in cubic meters, so all values ​​​​should first be converted from meters to millimeters. Accordingly, the thickness of this material is 0.04 m, width 0.15 m, and length 0.6 m. The next step is to directly calculate the cubic capacity:

• V=0.04 × 0.15 × 6 = 0.036

Accordingly, in one edged 6-meter "magpie" - 0.036 m 3.

There are no exact tabular data for unedged ones. Average cubic capacity wooden element with a cross section of 40 x 6000 - 0.05 m 3.

How many boards in a cube

Edged lumber 40 × 150 × 6000 is widely used in construction and furniture production, for the manufacture of containers, in interior design and other purposes. To find out how many “forty” pieces are in a cube, you need to find out the cubic capacity of the 1st board. Further calculation is not particularly difficult; you just need to use a special calculator or the following formula:

K=1 m 3 /Vd, where Vd is m 3 of the plank.

In our case, the calculation will look like this:

K=1/0.036 = 27.777 pcs.

Accordingly, in 1 cubic meter of lumber with a cross-section of 40 × 150 × 6000 there will be approximately 28 pieces. It's better to round up.

How many meters in a cube

There can be different amounts of lumber in 1 cubic meter square meters. This indicator depends on the thickness of the product. Therefore, to find out how many meters there are in one cube of wood, you need to divide 1 m3 by the thickness.

T=1/a, where:

• a – width.

In our example, the thickness of the lumber is 40 mm, which is correspondingly 0.04 m. We substitute it into the formula and get:

T=1/ 0.04 = 25 m2

As a result, 1 cubic meter of board 4 centimeters thick will be equal to 25 m2.

The cubic capacity of one edged board with a thickness of 40 mm

The cubic volume of edged lumber is 40 x 150 x 6000, as well as the number of boards and square meters per 1 cubic meter, can be seen in the table. It will help you correctly determine the required volume of building materials so as not to incur unnecessary costs when purchasing them.
