The aim of this paper is to verify the accuracy of the optical dendrometers Criterion 400 and RC3H by studying the quality of measures of wood volume determination of standing trees through these dendrometers. The study was developed at the Experimental Station of Forest Sciences, in Itatinga, Sao Paulo state, which belongs to the University of Sao Paulo (ESALQ / USP). It was sampled a total of 175 trees in three plots of Eucalyptus grandis. The stem diameter of standing trees was measured by the two optical dendrometers at distances of 0.1, 0.4, 0.7, 1.0, 1.3, 2.0 meters from this point meter by meter along the stem up to 8 meters height. After measuring the standing trees they were felled and the diameter was obtained in different positions with a caliper and a tape in the same positions that the non-destructive measures were taken. With the diameters the volume was calculated by section and by individual trees by the Smalian formula for the comparison of methods. Analyzing the measurements of stem diameter and the individual tree volume realizes that the two dendrometers provided measures generally underestimated. However, the Criterion provided the best estimates. For the diameter and individual tree volume the Criterion showed underestimated errors averaging approximately 1 cm (10%), while the RC3H resulted in errors greater than 5 cm (30%) on average.Thus, when measuring observed variables in a non-destructive way with reliability and accuracy, the Criterion showed better results.
