How many cubed timber 100 per 100: do the calculations

The beam 100 by 100 mm is successfully used both in commercial buildings and in private construction sites of arbors, houses, verandas. The quality of this material proves already in the continuation of dozens of years.

And, to answer the main question of the article, how many cubed timber 100x100 mm, consider the places of its application and price.

Key questions on the bar, which is worth knowing the answer

When buying wood material there are many important questions that we will try to answer.

Where does it apply?

The material of this section is a full-fledged bar.

It is used in these types of projects:

• closed - all vertical and horizontal structures of the walls and lines of the house, garage, bath, gazebo;
• open - decoration of the attic, stairs, baths, ceiling, arch design.

It is also possible to use the product with a cross section of 100 mm in the manufacture of furniture. Although it will betray some massiveness.

What are the types of such material?

Types of timber 100x100 mm depend on the tree from which it is made.

• Pine is the most popular type of raw material. It is always easy to get it and it has few knots.

Nо есть у такого материала и недостаток, который может испортить внешний вид отделки внутри помещения. Он синеет. И хотя это никак не отражается на качестве, внешне слишком бросается в глаза.

Remember: do not use pine to create stairs and interior design of the house, with time it can spoil the look.

• Spruce - very good for interior work. Not as well protected from the process of decay, as pine, but retains its original color. The friability of the core helps to keep the room warm. Also a nice plus is the low price of such material.
•  Larch – идеальна для постройки бани. Стоимость бруса 100х100 за куб выйдет намного дороже, чем у других пород дерева, зато гарантированно простоит множество лет. К тому же не боится высоких показателей температуры и имеет низкую теплопроводность. Идеально для парилки (читайте также статью Брус и лиственница, особенности пиломатериалов из данного дерева).

What is the acceptable moisture content of a bar?

The ideal moisture for a cross section of this size is about 9% moisture. Such a material, being porous, absorbs the surrounding moisture well, but after the process of chamber drying, such dampness comes out.

A caring manufacturer is quite capable of preserving the material in this form. Humidity level of about 19% occurs when wood raw materials cease to give, and take away the surrounding dampness.

But it is necessary to take into account that a tree from a winter forest can have a moisture level of even less than 15%. So, if you, for example, purchase at the end of spring, look also at winter samples. The presence of a moisture meter at the same time would be most welcome.

What factors shape the price of the product?

Nа то, сколько стоит куб бруса 100 на 100, влияет несколько факторов:

1. Characteristics of the material used for the production of timber.
2. Manufacturer. The brand is more expensive and better, an unknown manufacturer is cheaper, but with risks.
3. Technologies that were used in the manufacture. The more processing, the more expensive.
4. Количество перепродаж от производителя к вам. Nапрямую у изготовителя покупать всегда выгоднее.

Tip: the most profitable option is to buy in bulk. Moreover, the wholesale starts from just one cubic meter.

Here is your visual instruction, allowing you to evaluate the advantage of wholesale purchase over retail.

Calculation of the amount of timber in a cube

So, let's calculate how many pieces in a cubed beam 100 per 100 mm.

Take for example the most common length of construction wood 6 meters. Fold the stack of them so that the sections form a square meter, as shown in the figure:

Thus, given that the size of the product we have is 100 by 100 mm, we have a stack of 10 for 10 products. Multiply and get 100 bars.

Since the length of this stack is 6 meters, and we consider a cubic meter, we should take one sixth of the total amount of building material. So we divide 100 by six and get approximately 16.6667.

There is no sense in rounding up, as the rules of mathematics dictate to us, because in case of a shortage we will have nothing to add. Therefore, to the question "how many pieces are in a cube of a bar 100x100?", The answer is 16.6 bars.

Using this method, we can also calculate how many pieces in a cube 100x50 mm. The cross section of the package is 1000 by 1000 mm.

In one side, 1000: 100 = 10 bars, in the other - 1000: 50 = 20 bars. Total then 10x20 = 200 products. 200: 6 = 33.3333 ...., which is 33.3 beams with a cross section of 100 by 50 in cubic meter.

How many pieces in a cube 100x200? We will strengthen our understanding of such calculations by finding this amount as well.

One side of us contains 10 bars, since we divide 1000 mm by 100, we get 10. We find the other side in the same way, only instead of 100 we divide 1000 by 200 and we get 5.

It comes out in a pack of 50 products with a cross section of 100 to 200 mm. We divide 50 into six, use our rounding method and get 8.3 bars in a cube. If the length of the bars is 4 meters, not six, then we simply divide 50 by 4. And then it turns out that there are 12.5 cubic meters in a cubic meter.

You can use one formula for the calculation: H ^ 3 / (H 1? H 2? L) = X Where:

• H is the height of the section of the stack of bars, we have it 1000 mm;
• N₁ - the first side of the product;
• N₂ - the second side of the product;
• L is the length of the product;
• X - the required number of bars in a cubic meter.

Let's check the formula on the example we have already calculated to calculate how much a bar is 100x100 in one cube, we take the dimensions in millimeters:

1000^{^3}/(100?100?6000)=16,666…

The formula is absolutely correct, and it can be used for bars of any section and any length. Now we will also be able to easily calculate how much a cube of a timber is 100x100 mm, if we buy individually.

Let's sum up

As you can see, all the calculations are very simple and you can do it yourself. Understanding exactly how many bars are in a cubic meter, knowledge of wholesale prices and other features of this material will allow you to conduct more accurate purchases. After all, construction takes place with the calculation of the number of units of bars on a particular wall, ladder, overlap (see also the article How many pieces in a cube of a bar 200x200 - we are building a beam house).

And purchase, as you can see, in order to be profitable, goes in bulk and in cubic meters. The ability to correctly link these quantities will undoubtedly have a positive effect on the savings of our budget. Plus, take into account the area of ​​construction, its scale.

There is also a place for saving maneuvers. The video in this article will help to get acquainted with additional material on this topic. Be careful in the calculations and the money will remain in your pocket!
