What Is This Tool?
This converter helps transform lumber volume measurements from cords, a common firewood measure, into cross ties, which are heavy timber pieces used in railroad construction and other applications.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the volume value in cords
- Select 'cord' as the starting unit
- Choose 'cross tie' as the target unit
- Click convert to see the equivalent cross tie quantity
Key Features
- Converts volume lumber units from cord to cross tie
- Uses established conversion rate based on volume equivalences
- Supports applications in forestry, railroad construction, and landscaping
- Provides quick volume and quantity estimations
- Browser-based and easy to navigate
Examples
- 2 Cords equal 76.8 Cross ties
- 0.5 Cord equals 19.2 Cross ties
Common Use Cases
- Estimating firewood volume and translating it to railroad tie quantities
- Planning lumber needs for railroad track construction and maintenance
- Measuring timber for landscaping projects using heavy garden sleepers
- Evaluating reclaimed wood volumes for outdoor furniture and fencing
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure volume input is accurate for reliable conversion results
- Understand the volume differences between cords including air space and solid cross ties
- Use the tool for preliminary estimates before detailed procurement
- Consider material differences in cross ties when planning projects
Limitations
- Cord measurements include air spaces, so conversions may not reflect solid wood volume exactly
- Variations in cross tie size and material affect precise volume equivalence
- This conversion is a volume estimate and may not apply to all project specifics
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a cord used to measure?
- A cord measures stacked firewood volume, including air spaces, typically 128 cubic feet.
- What is a cross tie?
- A cross tie is a heavy timber used in railroad tracks to maintain gauge and transfer loads.
- How many cross ties are in one cord?
- One cord is equivalent to approximately 38.4 cross ties.
Key Terminology
- Cord
- A North American unit of volume for stacked firewood, including air spaces, typically 128 cubic feet.
- Cross tie
- A heavy timber piece used across railroad rails to sustain gauge and distribute loads, measured by pieces or volume.
