- Most accurate formula
- Gives volume not only frustum of neiloidcorrectly, but also cylinder, paraboloidand cone
- All other formulae can be derived from it
- Cumbersome to use as it necessitates the measurement of diameter and calculation of areas of three cross-sections
- Difficult to apply when logs are stacked and mid-diameter can not be measured. Hence, Newton's formula is not used in practice.
- It is only used to calculate the error in volume calculated by other formulae
