Introduction

GENERAL ASPECTS OF MEASUREMENT

Expression of quantity

The need for conventions

Cost/beneﬁt aspects of measurement

Choice of method

MEASUREMENT CONVENTIONS

Diameter (dbh, mid-, top-)

Length

Volume

MEASUREMENT OF FELLED TIMBER

Procedure 1 - Timber lengths, sawlogs, billets

(mid-diameter >< length)

Procedure 2 - Sawlogs (top diameter u.b. >< length)

Procedure 3 - Smallwood (top diameter >< length)

Procedure 4 - Pitwood (top diameter >< length)

Procedure 5 - Stacked timber

(i) Measurement of stacks

(ii) Solid/stacked conversion factors

Procedure 6 - Weight

(i) Weight measurement

(ii) Establishing volume/weight ratios

MEASUREMENT OF STANDING TINEBER

Procedure 7 - Single standing trees (dbh, height)

Alignment charts

Procedure 8 - Standing sales (tariff system)

Procedure 9 - Inventory, valuation

(top height, basal area, stand area)

Form height tables,

Alignment charts

Procedure 10 - Piece-work payment

(top height, dbh, nos. of trees)

Procedure 11 - Thinning control (top height/tariff, dbh)
