Density Calculator

How do you calculate Freight Density?

The formula to determine the density of an item is:

L × W × H / 1728 = Cubic Feet (CU FT)
Weight (Pounds) / CU FT = Density (#PCF)

  • Measure the shipment’s dimensions: length, width, height.
  • Multiply the measurements together (length × width × height).
  • Divide the result by 1,728 (cubic inches per foot) to find the cubic feet of the shipment.
  • Divide the weight by the total cubic feet. This result is the freight density, or pounds per cubic foot (#PCF).
Freight Density (In lbs per cubic foot) Freight Class
Less than 1 400
1 but less than 2 300
2 but less than 4 250
4 but less than 6 175
6 but less than 8 125
8 but less than 10 100
10 but less than 12 92.5
12 but less than 15 85
15 but less than 22.5 70
22.5 but less than 30 65
Over 30 60
