- Requires the areas of end cross-sections
- Overcomes the difficulty of measuring mid-diameter of logs when they stacked
- Gives volumes of frustums of cylinders and paraboloid with absolute accuracy
- Overestimates the volume and has positive error
- Easier to apply than Huber’s and Newton’s formula
- Easier to measure by wooden scale than tape or calliper as log may be lying on the ground
