Make sure the enclosure is sealed airtight.Calculating External Volume1.) To calculate box volume, measure the outside Width x Height x Depth ofthe enclosure. Example 12” x 14” x 9”=1512 ÷ 1728” Cubic feet2.) Next you must convert cubic inches into cubic feet. To do this, you mustdivide the cubic inches total by 1728”. Example 1512 ÷ 1828=.875 Cubic feetCalculating Internal Volume1.) To calculate the internal (net) volume of the above box you must first multiplythe thickness of the wood you are using by Two(2). Example 3/4” x 2= 1.5“2.) Next subtract 1.5 from each of the outside measurements of the box.Width Height Depth12 - 1.5 = 10.5 14 - 1.5 = 12.5 9 - 1.5 = 7.53.) Multiple the new totals (H x W x D) Example: 10.5 x 12.5 x 7.5 = .56964.) Next you must convert cubic inches into cubic feet. To do this, you mustdivide the cubic inch total by 1728”.
