Formula and assumptions
How this calculation works.
Sections are integrated with the trapezoidal rule. Stations must increase in distance and describe the same measured body. More sections can reduce geometric approximation error.
A worked example
Illustrative inputs only. Product properties and design dimensions are not recommendations for your project.
- Station distance
- 0 m
- Measured section area
- 2 m²
- Station distance
- 3 m
- Measured section area
- 4 m²
Estimated measured volume: 9 m³
Piecewise-linear section interpolation; accuracy depends on the supplied measurements.
Before you purchase
Use dimensions from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any design spacing, section or fixing pattern must already be specified.
