What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to transform volume values measured in centiliters, a metric liquid volume unit, into cor units, an ancient Biblical dry volume measurement. It is useful for historical interpretation, archaeological research, and comparative analysis of ancient and modern volume units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in centiliters you wish to convert.
-
Select centiliter [cL] as the starting unit and cor (Biblical) as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volume in cor (Biblical).
-
Review the result for historical or research analysis.
Key Features
-
Accurately converts centiliters (cL) to cor (Biblical), an ancient dry volume unit.
-
Supports conversion for interpreting quantities in Biblical and archaeological contexts.
-
Easy-to-use interface suitable for historical, archaeological, and academic purposes.
-
Browser-based tool that requires no installation.
Examples
-
100 cL equals 0.00454545 Cor (Biblical).
-
500 cL equals 0.02272725 Cor (Biblical).
Common Use Cases
-
Translating modern liquid volumes to ancient Biblical dry volume units for study or research.
-
Assisting with archaeological reconstructions of ancient storage and agricultural measurements.
-
Comparing measurements mentioned in ancient texts with modern units.
-
Analyzing ancient economies and historical volume data in academic contexts.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Remember that the cor is a dry unit mainly used for grains and commodities, so apply conversions carefully when dealing with liquids.
-
Consider the historical context and possible variations in the exact volume of the cor unit.
-
Use this converter for approximate comparisons rather than precise scientific measurements.
-
Review the converted values especially when working with small centiliter quantities as they translate to very small fractions of a cor.
Limitations
-
Cor is primarily a dry volume unit, so conversions from liquid centiliters may not always be contextually appropriate.
-
The precise size of the cor can vary based on historical estimates, making conversions approximate.
-
Small centiliter values result in very small cor values, which may not be practical for routine use.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a centiliter?
-
A centiliter (cL) is a metric unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a liter or 10 milliliters. It is commonly used for small beverage and food measurements.
-
What does cor (Biblical) represent?
-
The cor is an ancient Biblical dry volume unit, roughly equal to 220 liters, often used to measure grain and commodities in ancient Hebrew texts.
-
Can I convert liquid volumes directly to cor?
-
Since cor is a dry volume unit and centiliters measure liquid volume, conversions should be applied carefully depending on the material context.
Key Terminology
-
Centiliter (cL)
-
A metric unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a liter, or 10 milliliters, typically used for measuring small liquid volumes.
-
Cor (Biblical)
-
An ancient Hebrew dry volume unit roughly equal to 220 liters, used historically for measuring grains and commodities.
