Log Weight Calculator
Result
Log Weight Calculator: calculate log mass (kg) from explicitly entered values.
Formula
- Model: mass = pi * (diameter/2)^2 * length * density. Treats the log as a uniform solid cylinder, neglects taper, bark, moisture variation and voids; diameter, length and density must be nonnegative. This calculator uses the supplied inputs and does not provide a certified engineering, medical, or financial assessment.
- The main inputs are Log diameter, Log length, Wood density. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Keep measurements and project assumptions consistent before comparing or combining values.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Log Weight
- Log diameter: 0.4
- Log length: 5 m
- Wood density: 600 kg/m^3
Using Log diameter (m) = 0.4, Log length (m) = 5, Wood density (kg/m^3) = 600, the calculated result is Log mass (kg): 376.991118431.
