We’re excited to announce a new feature that will make managing your logs easier and more precise! When adding or editing a log in Traece™, you now have the ability to select a Log Rule Formula. This gives you more flexibility in choosing how your log volumes are calculated, ensuring greater accuracy for your needs.
Log Rule Formulas
To help you determine the volume of your logs more effectively, we’ve added the following formulas:
Doyle Formula
The Doyle formula is a commonly used log scale in North America, especially for larger logs. It tends to underestimate the volume of smaller logs, but it works well for estimating larger timber, making it a popular choice in many logging operations.
Scribner Formula
The Scribner formula is another popular option, known for providing a good balance between estimating log volume accurately for both small and large logs. It is a great option for those who want a straightforward estimation that works across a variety of log sizes.
International Quarter-Inch Rule
The International Quarter-Inch Rule is widely considered one of the most accurate log scaling methods, especially when it comes to different log sizes. It’s designed to provide a more realistic estimate of log volume by accounting for the log's taper, making it ideal for precise calculations.
How to Use Log Rule Formulas
When you add or edit a log, you will now see an option to select a Log Rule. Choose between Doyle, Scribner, or International Quarter-Inch based on the type of logs you're working with and the level of accuracy you need. This flexibility ensures that the calculation fits your requirements and helps you make better decisions for your logging operations.
Why This Matters
The addition of these log rule formulas aims to give you the tools you need to calculate log volume more effectively. Whether you need a quick estimate for large logs or a more precise calculation for various sizes, these formulas provide the options that best fit your logging scenario.
