1In the case of bark, column headings should be interpreted as relating quantity of brk residue to quantity of solid bark.

Column 2    =   reciprocal of the expansion factor

Column 3    =   column 1 multiplied by 35.313 ft3/m3

Column 4    =   reciprocal of column 6

Column 5    =   column 2 divided by 35.313 ft3/m3

Column 6    =   reciprocal of column 10

Column 7    =   200 divided by the expansion factor

Column 8    =   column 2 divided by 35.313 ft3/m3

Column 9    =   reciprocal of column 7

  Column 10  =   reciprocal of column 8
