FORMULAS FOR CONVERSION
One ton equals 2000 pounds.
One cord of PINE weighs 4,300 pounds
-
(4,300 / 2,000 lbs = 2.15 tons)
Thus, one cord of PINE weighs 2.15 tons.
One cord of HEMLOCK weighs 4,800 pounds
-
(4,800 / 2,000 lbs = 2.4 tons)
Thus, one cord of HEMLOCK weighs 2.4 tons.
One cord of CHIPS weighs 5,200 pounds
-
(5,200 / 2,000 lbs = 2.6 tons)
Thus, one cord of CHIPS weighs 2.6 tons.
TONS TO CORDS
5 tons of chips
5 / 2.6 = 1.9 cords
OR
5 (tons) x 2,000 lbs = 10,000 lbs
10,000 / 5,200 = 1.9 cords
BOARD FEET TO CORDS
One Cord equals 500 Board Feet
2,500 board feet / 500 = 5 cords
CORDS TO BOARD FEET
5 (cords) x 500 = 2,500 board feet
BOARD FEET TO TONS
2,500 board feet of Pine / 500 = 5 cords
(One cord of pine weighs 4,300 pounds)
5 x 4,300 = 21,500
21,500 / 2,000 = 10.75 tons
TONS TO BOARD FEET
10.75 (tons) x 2,000 = 21,500
21,500 / 4,300 pounds (pine) = 5 cords
(One cord = 500 board feet)
5 x 500 = 2,500 board feet
CORDS TO TONS
1. 5 cords of pine times 2.15 tons per cord = 10.75 tons
2. 5 cords of hemlock times 2.4 tons per cord = 12 tons
3. 5 cords of chips times 2.6 tons per cord = 12 tons
