Well, I have been looking for a good and clear question on this. So far, I really can't find any answer from some professional person.
So far, I have info:
How to calculate volumetric: Lx W x H in metters/ 6000= Volum Weight kgs.
But I don't really know how to calculate the quantity in 40 ft., 20 ft.container. Is there any good way to do?

Please kindly advice,
Thanks in advance,
Rose

How does one calculate volume? L x W x H in meters/ 6000= Volume Weight kgs.

But I don't really know how to calculate the quantity in 40 ft. 20 ft. container. Is there any good way to do?


Rose,

I'm not sure what you mean by a "40 ft, 20 ft" container. Is this a cylinder? The formula for the volume of a cylinder is

V = \pi r^2\,h

where pi = 3.14159... (you remember pi from elementary school, right?)

r is the radius of the cylinder (the diameter divided by 2)
h is the height of the cylinder

In this case, the volume is the area of the cross-section of the cylinder, \left( \pi r^2 \right) , times the height of the cylinder.

If this is a rectangular solid, then your formula, length x width x height, applies.
