Features: This book provides the volume calculation rules and volume tables for timber in major timber trading regions in China and around the world. The book is divided into 11 chapters. Chapter 1 briefly introduces the basic knowledge of timber volume calculation. Chapters 2 to 4 introduce the volume calculation rules and corresponding volume tables for short round timber (short logs), logs, and long round timber (long logs). The measured length and measurement range have been increased to match the current national standards to accommodate the frequent occurrence of oversized and excessively long logs in imports and exports. Chapters 5 to 7 introduce the volume calculation rules and corresponding volume tables for Chinese fir logs, non-Chinese fir species logs, and small logs. Chapters 8 and 9 introduce the volume calculation rules and corresponding volume tables for ordinary, first-class, and specialized sawn timber. Chapter 10 introduces the volume calculation rules and corresponding volume tables for solid wood plywood, particleboard, and fiberboard. Chapter 10 also introduces the volume conversion tables for solid wood plywood, particleboard, and fiberboard. Chapter 11 provides volume tables for logs in major timber-exporting countries or important timber trading regions (Russia, the United States, Southeast Asia, tropical countries, and Japan) in separate sections to meet readers' needs in this regard. This book can serve as a reference tool for engineering technicians in timber trading companies, import and export enterprises, timber circulation departments, timber production enterprises, timber inspectors, and also for engineering technicians engaged in processing and students and teachers of relevant higher and secondary specialized colleges.
