What weighs 1478 lpm 23X97 Raw plank?

What does 1478 lpm 23X97 Rough tongue and groove weigh?

The quantity should be
1478 running meters
According to the label see picture

I believe the rough tongue and groove is from spruce
The rough tongue and groove is stored under a roof so it is dry
I was thinking of bringing the rough tongue and groove home with a car and trailer
I want to drive legally so the question is what does the rough tongue and groove weigh?

I have a B96 driver's license

A rule of thumb is about 500kg per m3. See for example here:

https://www.simetric.co.uk/si_wood.htm

That makes about 1650 kg for your bundle (3.3 m3)

 

[Benny]

Okay, so you should not count on Nom.M3 3.695?

It's not that you get 3.3 cubic meters of timber, but that packed it takes 3.7 cubic meters including packaging and similar?

0.023×0.097×1478 is in fact 3.3 cubic meters.

Nominal m3 is before the item is sawn and planed, I have learned.

It's not that you're getting 3.3 cubic meters of timber, but that when packed it takes up 3.7 cubic meters including packaging and such?

0.023×0.097×1478 is in fact 3.3 cubic meters.

I don't think so, the packaging is just the plastic around the råspont.

 

[Benny]

Nominal m3 is before the product is sawn and planed, as I've been taught.

Ok yes that sounds reasonable

On this page, it says the weight is 460 kg for 23x95 raw timber per cubic meter.

In that case, it should weigh 1518 kg since the weight per cubic meter is the same if it is 23x97 per cubic meter?
460x3.3=1518 kg

[Anders243]

Yes, that's correct.

However, Swedish wood indicates a large variance in density depending on the growth location, moisture content, etc. If I recall correctly, the normal variation in density is +/- 25 kg/m3 at 20% moisture content. Then the moisture content also varies...

Are you close to the limit of what your trailer can carry?

Some forklifts have load cells/scales on the forks. Can you check with the lumber yard/building supply store if they have one and can weigh the bundle for you? Then you'll know more exactly.

 

[Benny]

Yes, there will be an issue with the weight
I will check what it costs to have the timber delivered
Otherwise, I have to drive twice, but back and forth it takes 2 hours so I want to avoid that

The person selling the lot doesn't have a scale

 

[13th Marine]

But is there no padding in between? And a pallet underneath?

Spontaneously, it could be a shipping volume.

Here are the facts :
I have weighed a piece of råspont, which has been under a roof for several years.
A 1.45 m long board with 11% moisture content weighs 1374 grams, 0.947586 g/m.
1478 m would weigh 1400.5 kg.
