Airlines determine the Chargeable
Weight based on which ever is
greater:
-
Actual Weight:
is simply determined by putting an object on a scale.
-
Volume Weight:
is determined by the following formulas:
If dimensions are in Inches:
Length x Width x Height x Number of Cartons, Divided by
166 =
Volume Weight in Pounds
Length x Width x Height x Number of Cartons, Divided
by 366 = Volume Weight in
Kilos
If dimensions are in Centimeters:
Length x Width x Height x Number of Cartons, Divided by
2721 =
Volume Weight in Pounds
Length x Width x Height x Number of Cartons, Divided
by 6000 = Volume Weight in
Kilos
Volume itself, in the
transportation industry, is commonly measured in
Cubic Feet (CFT) and
Cubic Meters (CBM) by the
following formulas:
-
If dimensions are in
Inches:
Length x Width x Height x Number of Cartons, Divided by
1728
= CFT
If dimensions are in Centimeters:
Length x Width x Height x Number of Cartons, Divided by
1,000,000 x 35.314 =
CFT
If dimensions are in
Inches:
Length x Width x Height x Number of Cartons, Divided by
1728, Divided by
35.314
= CBM
If dimensions are in Centimeters:
Length x Width x Height x Number of Cartons,
Divided by 1,000,000
= CBM
