German term

im Maß abrechnen

German to English Tech/Engineering Forestry / Wood / Timber
Exerpt from Tegernsee Usages, T&C's for delivery of timber products, referring to cracks in boards/planking. Sentence is "Bei unbesäumter Ware können Risse im Maß abgerechnet werden." ("Ware" is the timber products in the purchase order) I don't under "im Maß" and "abrechnen" and how they work in this sentence. Can anyone out there help? Thanks very much!

average dimensions of split timber can be deducted

Splits commonly occur at the ends of boards or flitches. It looks like they are saying they will measure the average lengths and widths of the splits and deduct these dimensions from the total dimensions of the timber purchased.

From my personal glossary: auf Maß schneiden - to cut to (finished) size

unbesäumte Stammware is unedged timber - also referred to as flitches

Flitch. A portion of a log sawn on two or more faces—commonly
on opposite faces leaving two waney edges.
