PINEVOL


Book Description

Taper functions describe a model of the actual geometric shape of a tree. When this shape is assumed to be known, volume by any log rule and to any merchantability standard can be calculated. PINEVOL is a computer program for calculating the volume of the major southern pines using species-specific bole taper functions. It can use the Doyle, Scribner, or International -inch log rules or calculate solid wood volume inside or outside of bark. This document describes the methods used in volume calculation in PINEVOL and is a program users guide.

Book Description

Excerpt from Tables for Estimating Cubic-Foot Volume of Timber The volume tables presented here have been compiled for use in estimating the cubic-foot con tents of standing timberj-f Although the tables were prepared primarily for eastern hardwoods and southern softwoods, they can be adapted to other species. The lower parts of the form class tables Show not only volume in the sawlog portion of saw log-size trees but also the scaling diameter of the top sawlog. The latter information is needed in obtaining estimates of volume in tops of coni fers by use of Table 29 (attached to inside back cover). The top sections of the form class tables show volume in undersawlog-size trees of southern pines. All volumes are inside bark.
