Brass Volume Calculator

Easily calculate the volume of the material in brass units.

Brass calculator is a volume calculator that calculates the volume of the construction materials (like sand, gravel, and concrete etc) that will be used in construction activities based on the dimensions of the structure.

Brass is a unit of measurement for both volume and area which is particularly used by construction industry of India. One brass unit is exactly 100 cubic feet (cft) of volume or 100 square feet (sq ft) of area.

In a nutshell, brass is a unit used to quantify the amount of building materials that will be used in the construction projects, especiallly for loose materials like sand and rubber.

Brass Volume Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the volume in brass:

Brass Volume = (Length (ft) x Width (ft) x Height (ft)) ÷ 100

How to Calculate the Volume in Brass?

Step 1: Get the length, width, and height of the structure in feet

const length = parseFloat(document.getElementById("length").value);
const width = parseFloat(document.getElementById("width").value);
const height = parseFloat(document.getElementById("height").value);

Step 2: Multiply the dimensions with each other and divide the result by 100

const volume = (length * width * height) / 100;

To calculate the volume in brass, first you need to calculate the volume in cubic feet. This can be calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height with each other.

The result obtained from above step will give you the volume in cubic feet. Now, to convert the volume into brass, we will take the help of conversion factor: 1 brass = 100 cubic feet.

Therefore, to get the volume in brass, divide the volume in cubic feet by 100. This will give you the volume in brass.

Solved Example

Example 1: Mr. Chopra needs to order sand for a construction site to fill a pit. The dimensions of feet are 15.5 ft x 12 ft x 8 ft. Calculate how much sand Mr. Chopra needs in brass units.

Volume in cubic feet = Length (ft) x Width (ft) x Height (ft) = 15.5 ft x 12 ft x 8 ft = 1488 cft

Now, we will divide the volume in cubic feet by 100 to convert it into brass volume.

Volume (in Brass) = Volume in Cubic Feet ÷ 100 = 1488÷100 =14.88 brass
