Volumetric Weight
Volumetric Weight :
A measure of the size of a package used for billing purposes in the airline industry. The volumetric weight of a package, in kilograms, is equal to lwh/6000, where l, w, and h are the maximum length, width, and height measurements of the package, in centimeters. Shippers are billed for the larger of the volumetric weight and the actual weight of the package. Since the calculation assumes a density of only 1/6 gram per cubic centimeter (1/6 the density of water), the volumetric weight is used only for rather light packages that take up a lot of space on the aircraft
