. Research for tomorrow's forests : 1983 research accomplishments. --. Forests and forestry Research United States. Application of Cubic Scale Has Merits Use of cubic scale, a means of measuring the volume of logs, is the best way to improve measurement systems in forestry and forest prod- ucts. Pacific Northwest Station researchers concluded this after they developed techniques to evaluate the effectiveness of some 95 log rules currently used in the United States and Canada. Basing their evaluation on recovery studies in mills where precise data on volume and value are available, the researchers became convinced that cubic scale gives the most accurate measure. They subsequently have developed cubic measurement tech- niques to derive log scale deductions for dead timber and to predict product volume and value from log scale. The techniques developed at the Pacific Northwest Station are being reviewed by a national committee, sponsored by the National Forest Products Associ- ation and the Forest Service, to choose the best of several possible measure- ment systems. The committee is currently developing a user's guide to apply cubic scale in all aspects of forestry and forest products. The researchers conducted a workshop on using cubic scale in forestry in Portland, Oreg. in the spring of 1983. The high interest in this subject attracted 300 people from all over the United States, indicating the recog- nized need for a better measurement system in forestry and forest 30' ».
