Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm the context when converting dry volume to gas volume units
-
Use this tool for comparative and approximate conversions only
-
Account for variations in historical definitions of the cor unit
-
Combine results with other historical data for archaeological research
-
Apply the conversion carefully in engineering calculations considering material properties
Limitations
-
The cor (Biblical) is an approximate ancient measure with possible variations
-
The hundred-cubic foot unit is primarily for gases, so conversions may not directly reflect solid or liquid volumes
-
Rounding and varying source definitions can affect precision
-
Conversion is best suited for general analysis rather than exact scientific measurements
