A 'ton' is a unit of mass commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It comes in two principal variants: the short ton, equivalent to 2,000 pounds or 907.18474 kilograms, and the long ton, which is 2,240 pounds or 1,016.0469088 kilograms. The metric ton, or 'tonne', equals 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds.
Definition of Board FootA 'board foot' is a unit of volume measurement used in the lumber industry in North America. It represents the volume of a one-foot length of a board one foot wide and one inch thick. Thus, one board foot equals 144 cubic inches. It's a crucial metric for quantifying lumber and understanding the amount of wood in a given piece.
| Tons (Short Ton) | Board Feet |
|---|---|
| 0.001 | 12 |
| 0.005 | 60 |
| 0.01 | 120 |
| 0.05 | 600 |
| 0.1 | 1200 |
| 0.5 | 6000 |
| 1 | 12000 |
| 5 | 60000 |
| 10 | 120000 |
| 50 | 600000 |
1 ton = 12,000 bf
0.1 ton = 1,200 bf
Example 1:
Convert 2 tons to board feet:
2 tons = 2 × 12,000 bf = 24,000 bf
Example 2:
Convert 0.5 tons to board feet:
0.5 tons = 0.5 × 12,000 bf = 6,000 bf
The Tun to Board Foot Converter has roots in industries where both weight and volume measurements are crucial. Early on, professionals in lumber and shipping industries needed a reliable way to convert the weight of their cargo (in tons) to the volume (in board feet) to manage space and costs efficiently.
Discover the practical uses of Newtum's Ton to BF Converter and see how it brings efficiency and clarity to various industries.
Example 1: Converting 3 tons to board feet results in 3 × 12,000 bf = 36,000 board feet.
Example 2: Converting 0.25 tons to board feet results in 0.25 × 12,000 bf = 3,000 board feet.
