What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform dry volume values from the UK peck, a traditional British unit, into the biblical cor, an ancient dry volume measure. It is designed to support agricultural measurement, historical research, and scriptural studies by bridging modern imperial units with ancient biblical ones.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the quantity in peck (UK) into the input field.
-
Select 'peck (UK)' as the starting unit and 'cor (Biblical)' as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent amount in cor (Biblical).
Key Features
-
Converts dry volume from UK peck to biblical cor units accurately based on defined conversion rates.
-
Supports volumes related to agricultural commodities, historical references, and scriptural analysis.
-
Easy to use, browser-based interface for quick unit conversions without installation.
Examples
-
10 pecks (UK) converts to approximately 0.4133 cor (Biblical).
-
50 pecks (UK) converts to approximately 2.0664 cor (Biblical).
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring small bulk quantities such as fruit or grain at farmers' markets using peck units.
-
Translating traditional British dry volume amounts into ancient biblical units for research or scriptural study.
-
Estimating storage volumes of ancient granaries and modeling historical agricultural production.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the units selected match the volume type since both units are specific to dry commodities.
-
Use this converter for agricultural, historical, or biblical volume conversions where precise modern equivalents are needed.
-
Be aware of the differences between imperial and customary units to avoid confusion in measurements.
Limitations
-
Conversion values for the cor (Biblical) are approximate because its exact historical size varies among scholars.
-
The peck (UK) is based on imperial measurement, differing from US units, so conversions across systems should be handled carefully.
-
Both peck (UK) and cor (Biblical) strictly apply to dry volumes and are not suitable for liquid measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a peck (UK)?
-
The peck (UK) is a traditional British unit of dry volume equal to one quarter of an imperial bushel, exactly 9.09218 litres, commonly used for measuring bulk dry goods like grain and fruit.
-
What does the cor (Biblical) measure?
-
The cor (Biblical) is an ancient dry volume unit from Israel, defined as ten ephahs and used mainly for large quantities of grain in scriptural and historical contexts.
-
Can I use this converter for liquid volumes?
-
No, both the peck (UK) and cor (Biblical) are units specific to dry volume, so this tool does not support liquid volume conversions.
