About Log Volume Calculator (Formula)

The Log Volume Calculator you provided is designed to estimate the volume of a log based on two input parameters:

1. Log Radius (ft): This is the radius of the circular cross-section of the log, measured in feet.
2. Log Length (ft): This is the length of the log, also measured in feet.

The formula used to calculate the volume of a log is based on the assumption that the log has a cylindrical shape. The formula is:

LV=3.14159∗LR2∗LL

Where:

• $LV$ represents the log volume in cubic feet (ft³).
• $LR$ is the log radius in feet.
• $LL$ is the log length in feet.
• $3.14159$ is an approximation of the mathematical constant $\pi$, which is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.

This formula assumes that the log is a perfect cylinder, which may not always be the case in reality. Keep in mind that this is a simplified calculation and actual log volumes may vary based on irregularities in the shape of the log.

This calculator is useful in forestry and woodworking industries for estimating the volume of logs before processing. It can be a helpful tool for determining the potential yield of lumber or other wood products from a given log.
