Sawmill Short Course Log Inputs – Measurement & Conversion ...

Info

Smalian Rule The average basal area is estimated by measuring diameter inside bark at both log ends, computing basal area for both diameters, and then multiplying the average of the two basal areas by the log length Cubic foot volume = Cubic foot volume = (Small end BA + Large end BA) (Small end BA + Large end BA) x Log length x Log length 2
Two-end Two end Conic Rule The log is considered to be a frustrum of a cone Cubic foot volume = 0.005454L x [D 2 (SE) + D2 D (LE) + D(SE) + D(LE] Relatively new rule provided as an option by the Columbia River Log Scaling and Grading Bureau 3
