Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify local definitions of a cord as this tool uses the 80 cubic feet variant
-
Use conversion to relate volumes to the more common standard cord of 128 cubic feet for consistency
-
Consider volume differences arising from stacked wood including air gaps versus solid wood
-
Apply converted values for pricing and reporting aligned with contractual or regional standards
Limitations
-
The 80 cubic feet cord measures stacked volume including air gaps, so actual solid wood content may differ
-
Volume differences can affect fuel value assessments and consumption calculations
-
Local definitions and contractual terms may vary requiring careful interpretation of converted volumes
