%X <p>A method is presented in this study for calculating the basic density of whole tree- and logging residue chips and the results of trial measurements on some commonly used chip sorts. The basic density of Scots pine whole tree chips was found to be 1–18 kg/m<sup>3</sup> smaller than that of pine pulpwood of the same age. The basic density of Norway spruce whole tree chips was 4–22 kg/m<sup>3</sup> greater than that of similar aged pulpwood. The basic density of birch whole tree chips was 4–16 kg/m<sup>3</sup> and grey alder whole tree chips 7–24 kg/m<sup>3</sup> greater than pulpwood of the same age. The basic density of conifer logging residue chips was considerably greater than that of pine and spruce whole tree ships.</p>
