The full form of CBM is Cubic Meters. It is one of the most predominantly used units of measurement of cargo transports globally. CBM measures the volume of the shipment being sent by air freight or ocean freight, which ultimately decides the freight cost of the shipment.
How is CMS CBM calculated?
Cubic Meter Calculator Formula
- Length (in centimeter) X Width (in centimeter) X Height (in centimeter) / 1000000 = Cubic meter (m3)
- We can input dimensions in Centimeter, milimeter, meter, inch, feet or yard.
How do you measure 1 CBM?
CBM – cubic meter is calculated by multiplying length, width and height of packages of goods. For example, if the length, height and width of a cargo is 2.3 meters, 1.4meters and 2 meters respectively, the volume of cargo is 2.3 X 1.4 X 2.00 = 6.44 CBM.
