How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the volume value in cubic feet (ft³) you wish to convert.
- Select 'cubic foot [ft³]' as the from unit and 'cord' as the to unit.
- Click the convert button to see the result in cords.
- Use the output to assist with firewood sales, inventory, or fuel estimation.
Key Features
- Converts volume from cubic foot to cord based on established conversion rates.
- Supports lumber and firewood volume calculations relevant for pricing and inventory.
- Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick conversions.
- Includes conversion examples for practical understanding.
Examples
- Convert 10 cubic feet to cords: 10 × 0.0078125 = 0.078125 cord.
- Convert 128 cubic feet to cords: 128 × 0.0078125 = 1 cord.
Common Use Cases
- Measuring stacked firewood volumes for retail and wholesale transactions.
- Estimating household heating fuel needs based on wood volume delivered.
- Reporting small-scale forestry or timber inventories involving firewood production.
Tips & Best Practices
- Remember the cord includes air spaces, so it represents the stacked volume, not solid wood only.
- Use consistent stacking methods to maintain accuracy when assessing wood volume with cords.
- Leverage the tool for clear pricing and inventory management in firewood commerce.
Limitations
- Cord volume accounts for air spaces, so it does not measure only solid wood volume.
- Stacking variations can cause differences in actual wood content despite equal cord measurements.
- Primarily applicable to North American firewood measurement contexts and may not suit other regions.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does one cord represent in cubic feet?
- One cord is equal to 128 cubic feet of stacked firewood volume, including the air spaces between the pieces.
- How is the cubic foot related to board feet in lumber measurement?
- One cubic foot equals 12 board feet, which helps in pricing and inventory of lumber.
- Why does the cord include air spaces in its measurement?
- Because it measures the volume of stacked firewood, the cord reflects the total space including gaps, not just the solid wood content.
Key Terminology
- Cubic foot (ft³)
- A volume unit in the imperial/US customary system equal to a cube one foot on each side, commonly used for lumber and firewood measurement.
- Cord
- A North American unit measuring stacked firewood volume equal to 128 cubic feet, representing the total stack volume including air spaces.
- Board feet
- A lumber volume unit where 1 cubic foot equals 12 board feet, used for pricing and inventory of wood.
