Calculate the volumetric weight of your shipment
The cost of a lighter weight shipment (where volume exceeds actual weight)
is determined by the amount of space the shipment occupies on our aircraft,
rather than its actual weight. This is known as the volumetric (or dimensional)
weight.
From 1st November 2008, TU will be changing the conversion
factor used when calculating the volumetric weight for shipments by air, from
6,000 to 5,000, so that the new formula for calculating volumetric weight will
become :
length x width x height (cm) / 5000*
The method
for calculating the space or volume that a shipment occupies has not changed for
many years despite the fact that TU is carrying greater numbers of lighter
weight, low density, packages than ever before.
TU believe these
changes are necessary so that we can optimise our own aircraft capacity.
Furthermore, we believe this will have a positive environmental impact by
improving fuel efficiency and by encouraging our customers to use more compact
and less wasteful packaging for their shipments
* If you measure in
inches, the conversion factor is 305.
Measurement conversion made easy
When you regularly deal with people from other countries, they might not
use the same units of measurement as you.
Our powerful and flexible conversion
calculator will help you to quickly convert between metric and imperial values
for length, area, volume, and weight.
