    LD-8 (Equivalent to IATA Type 6A) Internal Capacity: 243 cu ft/6.9 cu m Maximum Gross Weight: 5,400 lb/2,450 kg Maximum External Dimensions: (L x W x H) Contoured 96" x 60" x 64" 228 cm x 152 cm x 162 cm LD-4 (Equivalent to IATA Type 7A) Internal Capacity: 174 cu ft/5 cu m Maximum Gross Weight: 5,400 lb/2,450 kg Maximum External Dimensions: (L x W x H) Contoured 96" x 60" x 64" 228 cm x 152 cm x 162 cm LD-3 (Equivalent to IATA Type 8) Internal Capacity: 150 cu ft/4 cu m Maximum Gross Weight: 3,500 lb/1,588 kg Maximum External Dimensions: (L x W x H) Contoured 61" x 60" x 64" 154 cm x 152 cm x 162 cm LD-2 (Equivalent to IATA Type 8D) Internal Capacity: 120 cu ft/3 cu m Maximum Gross Weight: 2,700 lb/1,225 kg Maximum External Dimensions: (L x W x H) Contoured 47" x 60" x 64" 119 cm x 152 cm x 162 cm

    The chargeable weight of the air consignment is the actual gross weight of the consignment for consignment size below 6,000 cubic centimetre. However, for the consignment above 6,000 cubic centimetre size, the weight is computed as follows: Size of the consignment = 162.6 *155.6* 141.5 cm. = 163 * 156 * 142 cm = 36, 10,776 cubic centimetres = 35, 63,351/6000 kg. = 601.796 kg. = 602 kg. The freight forwarder manually measures the dimensions of the consignments and calculates the weight to compute the total freight charges to prepare the air way bill.

    Formula to find out volume weight, Volumetric Weight and Cubic Meter. 1. If cargo Dimension is in Inches used this Formula. Volume Weight = (Length * Width * Height)/366 * no of Pieces 2. If cargo Dimension is in Cms used this formula Volume Weight = (Length * Width * Height)/ 6000 * no of Pieces 3. To Find Cubic Meter. CBM = Volume Weight/ 166.67
