Retail sales and pricing of firewood measured in 80 cubic ft cords
-
Estimating firewood volume for home heating with wood stoves or boilers
-
Specifying fuel delivery and inventory for commercial or municipal programs
-
Converting regional firewood volume to metric system for clear communication
-
Measuring timber volume for construction and woodworking projects
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you specify the cord (80 cubic ft) variant when converting firewood volume
-
Use cubic meters to represent solid wood volume for accurate inventory and trade
-
Be aware that wood species and stacking methods affect true solid volume
-
Cross-check conversions when handling contracts or fuel pricing
-
Apply this conversion to improve clarity in multi-unit volume comparisons
Limitations
-
Cord (80 cubic ft) measures stacked volume including air spaces, not just solid wood
-
Effective solid volume varies due to wood type, moisture, and stacking style
-
This unit is a regional variant and may not be recognized everywhere
-
Direct volume equivalence between units can be complicated by these factors
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cord (80 cubic ft) measure?
-
It measures the volume of stacked firewood including air gaps, quantified as 80 cubic feet of volume.
-
Why convert cord (80 cubic ft) to cubic meters?
-
Converting to cubic meters translates a regional firewood volume unit to the international metric standard, aiding accurate inventory and trade.
-
Is cord (80 cubic ft) the same as a standard cord?
-
No, the 80 cubic ft cord is a regional variant and smaller than the standard cord, which is 128 cubic feet.
Key Terminology
-
Cord (80 cubic ft)
-
A regional volumetric unit for stacked firewood equal to 80 cubic feet, including air gaps.
-
Cubic meter [m³]
-
The SI unit of volume representing the space of a cube one meter on each side, measuring solid wood volume.
-
Stacked volume
-
The total volume occupied by wood and the air gaps between the pieces in a stack.
