Example values: Weight 24,000 kg, Volume 30 m³. With these values the results are:
| Density | 800.0 kg/m³ |
|---|---|
| Density | 0.800 t/m³ |
| Stowage factor | 1.250 m³/t |
| Freight class | Light (bulky) cargo: charged by volume |
How to use: Cargo Density Calculator
- Enter your own values: Weight, Volume.
- Results are calculated as you type: Density, Density, Stowage factor, Freight class.
- Check every step of the calculation in the formulas below.
How is it calculated?
