Calculating External Volume


1.) To calculate box volume, measure the outside Width x Height x Depth of
the enclosure. Example 12” x 14” x 9”=1512 ÷ 1728” Cubic feet

12 - 1.5 = 10.5 14 - 1.5 = 12.5 9 - 1.5 = 7.5
3.) Multiple the new totals (H x W x D) Example: 10.5 x 12.5 x 7.5 = .5696
Due to continuing product improvement, specifications and design are subject to change without notice.
4.) Next you must convert cubic inches into cubic feet. To do this, you must
