Actual volume refers to the actual amount of space occupied by an object or substance. It can be calculated by length x width x height of an object. In transportation and logistics, actual volume is an important factor in determining the cost of shipping or the amount of space required for storage. For example, the actual volume of a shipment is used to determine the size and number of containers required to transport it, or the amount of space it will take up in a warehouse.
e.g.
| Quantity | Length | Width | Height | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pcs | m | m | m | kg |
| 1 | 1.20 | 0.80 | 2.40 | 25 |
Calculation
| Length | Width | Height | Actual Volume | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| m | m | m | m³ | |||
| 1.20 | x | 0.80 | x | 2.40 | = | 2,304 |
