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?

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.
