Calculate cubic feet (CFT), Brass units (100 CFT), and total volume from feet and inch dimensions.
Dimensional breakdown of cubic feet and traditional brass units (100 CFT).
Dimensional breakdown of cubic feet and traditional brass units (100 CFT).
Conversion equations for cubic feet, Brass volumetric units, and truckloads.
Computes cubic feet directly from fractional inch dimensions.
Standard volumetric trade unit in Asian civil engineering markets.
Standard tipper truck capacities measured in brass loads.
CFT stands for Cubic Feet. In construction, 1 Brass is equal to 100 Cubic Feet of loose material. The formula is:
CFT = (Length in ft) × (Width in ft) × (Depth in inches ÷ 12)
Common questions on Cubic Feet (CFT) equations, Brass unit conversions, and truck loads.
To calculate cubic feet directly from fractional dimensions: CFT = Length (ft) × Width (ft) × (Depth in inches ÷ 12). If all dimensions are in inches, multiply (Length" × Width" × Depth") ÷ 1,728 = CFT.
In Asian construction markets (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh), 1 Brass equals exactly 100 Cubic Feet (CFT). One Brass equals 2.8317 cubic meters (m³) or approximately 4.5 metric tonnes of dry sand.
For a standard 1:4 masonry mortar mix, 100 CFT of wet mortar requires approximately 26 to 28 bags of cement (50 kg) and 106 CFT of sand (accounting for 1.33 dry expansion factor).
A standard agricultural tractor trolley holds 70 to 100 CFT (0.7 to 1.0 Brass); a 6-wheeler tipper truck carries 200 to 250 CFT (2.0 to 2.5 Brass); and a 10-wheeler dumper carries 400 to 500 CFT (4 to 5 Brass).
