Appendix A: Dimensional Weight Pricing
Integra ™ Platform Scale 9K0U Operator Guide SV61955 Rev. A
To determine dimensional weight pricing:
1. Weigh the item (round any fraction of a pound to the next
whole pound).
2. Determine if measurements are required (use a measure-
ment template if available).
3. If needed, measure the length, width, and height (round
off individual measurements to the nearest inch) and enter
measurements into the electronic scale.
Dimensional weight will be calculated by the electronic
scale or can be manually calculated in the following steps.
4. Multiply the length by the width by the height. This figure
is the cubic capacity. If the result is 1,728 cubic inches or
less, dimensional pricing does not apply. Postage will be
based on the scale weight and the appropriate zone.
5. IRREGULARLY-SHAPED PACKAGE: If the result from
#4 is more than 1,728 cubic inches, multiply by the 0.785
adjustment factor, divide it by 194 to determine the dimen-
sional weight. Round up any fraction of a pound to the
next whole pound. The applicable postage is based on
the scale weight or the dimensional weight, whichever is
greater, and the appropriate zone.

Example: 30” x 18” x 9” = 4,860 cubic inches x 0.785
= 3,815.1 / 194 = 19.67 pounds, which is rounded up to 20
pounds.
Length = 29-3/4”
Width = 18-1/4”
Height = 9-1/4”
