EQUIVALENCE: 1 CBM = 1.000 KG.
Length x Width x Height = CBM
This is the formula used to measure your cargo volume in CBM (m³).
These mats are 100kg/cbm density which means 100kg of EVA is packed into a cubic meter. That's a mid range density.
In order to be able to charge this difference equally, a conversion factor was called into life. With air freight, 1 cubic metre equals 167 kilos. With seaborne freight LCL, 1 cubic meter equals 1,000 kilos, while with road transport 1 cubic metre equals 333 kilos (measuring 3 times).
Simply multiply the dimensions length x width x height. For instance, a package 1 meter long, 1 meter wide, and 1 meter high would be 1 CBM.
EQUIVALENCE: 1 CBM = 1.000 KG.
It is to be mentioned here that in the calculation of ocean freight for LCL cargo, 1 CBM is taken as equal to 1,000 KG (1 metric ton). This would mean that 1 CBM will be considered as 1 ton in weight.
Length x Width x Height = Volume
Make sure that the volume is converted into cubic metres (m3) or cbm. If you are measuring the dimensions in inches, then you need to convert the volume from cubic inches to cbm (1 cbm = 61,024 cubic inches). And lastly, you need to do the air cubic conversion factor.
For calculating the volume weight using inches, multiply the length by the width by the height (L x W x H) in inches to obtain the cubic inches, then: To obtain the dimensional weight in pounds using inches, divide the cubic inch result by 166.
The formula for the chargeable weight or volume weight is: (length x height x width) / divisor = volume weight in kg.
A 40ft container (40ft in length) can generally squeeze about 54-58cbm worth of goods inside. Again, this is dependent on the nature of the goods and the size of the cartons. You can often load over 20,000kg without incurring a 'heavy weight surcharge'.
Volumetric Weight= 24 cbm x 1000 kgs/ cbm = 24000 kgs.
A cubic metre (m3 or CBM) is a just another way of saying a block of space that measures 1m x 1m x 1m, height x width x depth.
Standard cubic conversion is 1 cubic meter of space = 333 kgs.
General shipments may be a single package or several. The maximum weight for each piece is 300 pounds. Dimension restrictions also apply according to aircraft type.
Minimum billable weight of a freight shipment is 151 lbs.
Meter = l × b × h = cubic meters. Centimetre = l × b × h ÷ 10,00,000 = cubic meters. Millimetre = l × b × h ÷ 1,00,00,00,000 = cubic meters. Inches = l × b × h ÷ 61,023.8 = cubic meters.
The total cost of the air freight is equal to the chargeable weight multiplied by the per kg price in the traffic scheduled. This calculation must always be either equal or superior to the minimum rate for particular destination. An example a consignment has a chargeable weight 65 kg.
The demand for air freight is limited by cost, typically priced 4–5 times that of road transport and 12–16 times that of sea transport. Air freight rates generally range from $1.50–$4.50 per kilogram, while the value of air cargo typically exceeds $4.00 per kilogram.
The air freight cargo rates therefore achieved a range of around $4 to $8 for every kilogram. During early 2023, the air freight rates across the world have decreased substantially to around $3 to $7 for every kilogram.
1 cubic metre = 0.883 cubic tons (35.32 cubic feet)
A Cubic Meter, or CBM, is a measurement of volume (one cubic meter is measured as one meter wide by one meter long by one meter high). Shippers use CBM to calculate chargeable weight. To calculate the total CBM of your shipment, multiply its length, width, and height (in meters).
