CBM Calculation :
To find the volume of a space or object in cubic meters (CBM), multiply its
Length × Width × Height [Make sure all measurements are in meters (m)]
Then the calculation will be: 4 × 3 × 2.5 = 30 cubic meters (m³)
So, the total volume is 30 m³.
If Measurements Are in Other Units
- Centimeters (cm): Multiply all values, then divide the result by 1,000,000
- Millimeters (mm): Multiply all values, then divide by 1,000,000,000
- Inches (in): Multiply all values, then multiply the result by 0.000016387
Note: This measurement will be for one object or space, if have more than one, then just multiply with the result.
Standard Container Dimensions, Volume, and Weight:
Use this table as a quick guide to estimate Internal volume (CBM) & Maximum cargo weight for standard shipping containers. The values in the table are approximate. Actual capacity may change depending on the container type and specifications.
| Container Type | Length (cm) | Width (cm) | Height (cm) | Volume (CBM) | Max Gross Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 FT Container | 589 | 230 | 230 | 31.2 | 28000 |
| 40 FT Container | 1200 | 230 | 230 | 63.5 | 26500 |
| 40 FT High Cube Container | 1200 | 230 | 260 | 71.8 | 26500 |
