What is a barrel (oil) used for?

A barrel (oil) is used mainly in the petroleum industry to measure crude oil volumes, flow rates, and storage capacities.

What is the cor (Biblical) unit?

The cor is an ancient Biblical Hebrew dry volume unit roughly equal to 220 liters, often used in historical texts for measuring grains or commodities.

Why convert between barrel (oil) and cor (Biblical)?

Converting helps relate modern petroleum volumes to ancient measurements, aiding in archaeological, historical, and comparative studies.

Facilitates historical, archaeological, and academic volume comparisons.
Browser-based and easy to use for quick volume unit translation.
Includes illustrative examples for clarity.

Examples

Converting 5 barrel (oil) yields approximately 3.61 cor (Biblical).
Converting 10 barrel (oil) results in about 7.23 cor (Biblical).

Common Use Cases

Relating modern oil volume measurements to ancient Biblical volumetric units.
Supporting archaeological and historical studies of storage capacities and commodity measures.
Conducting comparative research on ancient economies and measurements using Biblical units.

Tips & Best Practices

Remember the cor is an approximate ancient measurement and may vary slightly depending on sources.
Consider that barrel (oil) measures liquid volume, whereas cor traditionally measures dry volume.
Use conversions primarily for volumetric comparisons rather than direct interchange between liquid and dry substances.
Apply this tool as a reference for academic or research work involving unit comparisons across different eras.

Limitations

The cor unit varies in exact volume estimates and is centered around about 220 liters.
Conversion compares liquid petroleum volume (barrel) with a dry volume unit (cor), so physical equivalence is not precise.
Contextual differences between measurement purposes and states of substances can affect conversion relevance.
