How many cubic meters in a tonne of mixed hardwood.

[TreeBoi]

Hey guys my mates asked me to research the above as he is unable to push a mouse!

 

Any help would be very greafully received.

 

He's asked..

 

How many cubic meters in a tonne of mixed hardwood?

 

OR

 

The ratio to convert from Tonne to Cubic Meters of hard wood.

 

OR

 

How many cubic feet in a 30 Tonne Arctic load.

It's more or less 1 tonne to 1 cubic metre, or a bit less in quick grown stands.

 

30 tonnes of hardwood would be in the region of 1000 cubic foot.

It really does depend on the hardwood, some sinks though most float on water so most are slightly less than 1m3 of solid wood per metric tonne. If you are talking about processed volume then each tonne weight will yield around 1.5m3 of split wood. Though, again split volume depends on the wood density so would in reality range from this yield that I experience from my own processing of mixed hardwoods (mainly sycamore and ash).

 

Off to measure a piece of string now with a beer in one hand.....
