Understanding CFT for wood, storage, and shipping calculations.
CFT stands for cubic feet, the standard unit for measuring the volume of wood, timber, and storage space. It represents the volume of a cube with sides of 1 foot.
In the timber industry, CFT is the standard volume measure. Log volume is calculated using the cylinder formula or mid-diameter method, while sawn timber uses length × width × height.
Convert CFT to other units: divide by 27 for cubic yards, multiply by 0.0283168 for cubic meters, multiply by 28.3168 for liters, or multiply by 1,728 for cubic inches.
CFT stands for cubic feet. It is a unit of volume equal to a cube with sides of 1 foot (12 inches). It is the same as cu ft or ft³.
Divide CFT by 27 to get cubic yards. 27 cubic feet equals 1 cubic yard.
In the timber industry, CFT measures the actual volume of wood. For sawn timber, multiply length × width × thickness in feet. For round logs, use the mid-diameter cylinder formula.
