Tree Log Weight Calculator

Formula

To calculate the tree weight:

$\text{TW} = \pi \times \frac{\text{R}}{12^2} \times \text{TL} \times 93.6$

Where:

$\text{TW}$ is the Tree Weight (lbs)
$\text{R}$ is the Tree Radius (inches)
$\text{TL}$ is the Tree Length (feet)

What is Tree Weight?

Tree weight refers to the total weight of a tree log based on its radius and length. It is calculated by multiplying the tree's radius by the length and a constant factor that accounts for the density of the wood.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Tree Radius ( $\text{R}$ ) = 10 inches
Tree Length ( $\text{TL}$ ) = 20 feet

Using the formula:

$\text{TW} = \pi \times \frac{10}{12^2} \times 20 \times 93.6$

Calculate the intermediate steps:

$\pi \approx 3.14159$
$\frac{10}{12^2} = \frac{10}{144} \approx 0.06944$
$\text{TW} = 3.14159 \times 0.06944 \times 20 \times 93.6 \approx 408.40$

The Tree Weight is approximately 408.40 lbs.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Tree Radius ( $\text{R}$ ) = 15 inches
Tree Length ( $\text{TL}$ ) = 30 feet

Using the formula:

$\text{TW} = \pi \times \frac{15}{12^2} \times 30 \times 93.6$

Calculate the intermediate steps:

$\pi \approx 3.14159$
$\frac{15}{12^2} = \frac{15}{144} \approx 0.10417$
$\text{TW} = 3.14159 \times 0.10417 \times 30 \times 93.6 \approx 926.50$

The Tree Weight is approximately 926.50 lbs.
