What Is This Tool?
This tool enables quick conversion between the volume unit cord (80 cubic ft), commonly used for stacked firewood, and the switch tie, a timber reference unit for railway track components. It facilitates estimating timber volumes in lumber and railway applications.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the quantity in cord (80 cubic ft) you want to convert.
- Select switch tie as the target unit for conversion.
- Click convert to get the equivalent number of switch ties.
- Use the conversion results for timber volume estimation or procurement.
Key Features
- Converts cord (80 cubic ft) to switch tie based on a specific conversion rate.
- Supports volume measurements relevant to firewood retail and railway timber procurement.
- Browser-based and easy to use with clear input and output for volume values.
- Provides practical examples for typical conversion scenarios.
Examples
- 2 cords (80 cubic ft) converts to 30.47619 switch ties by multiplying 2 × 15.2380952386.
- 0.5 cord (80 cubic ft) converts to 7.61905 switch ties by multiplying 0.5 × 15.2380952386.
Common Use Cases
- Calculating firewood volume for retail sales where an 80 cubic foot cord is the standard unit.
- Estimating timber volumes for railway turnout tie replacement projects.
- Preparing procurement and cost estimates converting tie counts into volume units.
- Managing fuel yard inventory and municipal fuel supply contracts using cord measurements.
Tips & Best Practices
- Understand the regional definition of the cord since 80 cubic feet differs from the standard 128 cubic feet cord.
- Adjust volume estimates for air gaps present in the cord measurement when precise solid wood volume is needed.
- Consider variations in switch tie size and timber species when using this conversion in engineering calculations.
- Use conversion results as approximate volume references rather than exact measurements.
Limitations
- Switch tie is not a formally standardized volume unit and sizes may differ by region or manufacturer.
- Cord (80 cubic ft) measures stack volume including air gaps, so volume comparisons are approximate.
- Differences in timber species and tie dimensions affect volume precision in conversions.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does one cord (80 cubic ft) represent?
- One cord (80 cubic ft) is a volume unit used mainly for stacked firewood, representing 80 cubic feet including air gaps within the stack.
- What is a switch tie used for?
- A switch tie is a heavy timber or similar block used under rails at track switches, referenced volumetrically for railway timber procurement and engineering.
- Can the conversion between cord (80 cubic ft) and switch tie be exact?
- No, because switch tie sizes vary and cord volume includes air spaces, the conversion provides an approximate volume equivalency.
Key Terminology
- Cord (80 cubic ft)
- A non-SI volume unit measuring 80 cubic feet of stacked firewood including air spaces, used regionally in fuel sales.
- Switch tie
- A heavy timber or block used under rails at a track switch, referenced volumetrically for engineering and material accounting.
- Conversion rate
- The numeric factor (15.2380952386) used to translate volumes between cord (80 cubic ft) and switch tie units.
